    Well here it goes!,

    M back to hyderabad for 2 more weeks before i return permanently to chennai.

    I had my dad book an advance amount at yamaha showroom near my house to block a limited edition yamaha R15 firey red colour. And for the record, he did! and yes, one R15 Firey red is within my reach to be mine as soon as i reach chennai!

    But then came a shocking news ... my gf says i should not buy it :S she says she s scared of sitting that high and also after marriage she says that it would not look good to ride with a seating posture like that :-(. Heart shattered without knowing what to do i said my dad lets cancel the booking, but unfortunately that could not be done as he has planned to sell the good ol' enticer there for a good bargain.

    I some how convinced my dad to check out the ZMR atleast (which she would feel comfortable) but it seems it would take more than 2 months for its delivery (which my dad does nt appreciate for a Hero motorbike).

    So I am left with two options ... either to take the booked R15 - modify its seat (Zzzzzzzzz???) or buy a FZ/Fazer and die with all my dreams shattered :\

    Please advice, if at all there is any other way out of this tight situation :S
    now that is a real mess.......
    r15 is good one...... but since u have pillion problem....
    try p220 than buying fazer......
    p220 has lots of feature and power than fazer

      Dude that is a choice, if i were to choose a bike that my dad allows then it should be any one of the yamahas or karizma ... but dont know if HH would give the same deal for my enticer without which dad wont agree :S ...

      So is there a possiblity thtat i can retain R15 but just modify its seating ?

      [PS - I have booked the R15 :S ... and i would lose 1k if i cancel ]

        modifing v2.0 pillion seat....... its the beauty of the bike.....
        it will end in disaster buy altering it.......
        my advice better go with Zmr then........

        or fazer is a beauty with very lesser power....

          Hmmm, any idea of the dayatona kits on the fazer?...

          Can they make it faster and powerful :P?

          Can i add rear discs aswell!!!? And how much the whole kit including the ECU, exhaust, rear disc and everything else... I can spare 1.3L

            now thats a good idea.....

            dont know about daytona
            but you can use race concepts kits like free flow, 180cc big bore, etc
            you can ask joel about its price....

            you can also fit rear disk....... have seen on net.... someone have done it for 5k

                the pillion seat of FZ/Fazer is as uncomfortable as the R15's. Maybe marginally less

                  No you cannot get free service and warranty because you change the entire cylinder block by using bigbore kit and completely different exhaust...
                  And yes you will get a good performance boost....
                  @eliksir: i think fazer is more comfortable than r15... Lesser seat height and grab rails...

                    daytona kit is not street-legal.
                    The FZ-16 racing kit consists of two sub kits.
                    1) Muffler Kit
                    2) Body Kit
                    The ex- showroom price of Muffler Kit is Rs. 16,000 /- . This kit includes
                    a) Racing Exhaust System
                    b) Exhaust Pipe
                    c) Bracket Kit Exhaust
                    The ex-showroom price of Body kit is Rs. 20,000/- . This kit includes
                    a) Brake Caliper Bracket
                    b) Brake Disc
                    c) Brake Hose Front
                    d) Front Brake Master Cylinder
                    and the question remains why do i race?
                    every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

                    #how random roads may appear there is always a destination.sigpic
                    #i don't subscribe to co-incidence,either it is the rider or the other moron on the road

                    (:)people keeps on saying add spark to life, bajaj got hold of that idea and added an extra spark to bike.

                        you will definitely loose the warranty.

                            99% I have only 2 options it seems... Either take the r15 and let the pillion fell however it does or go for the fzs / fazer

                              r15+pillion= not only pillion will suffer, every time you hit the brakes, pillion who doesnt have anything to hold will free fall on you, so it will also hurts you by adding more pressure to your wrists......... my opinion having a pillion, then no r15.....

                                why aren't you cancelling the booking?
