    Hi Sidmall,

    First of all, you live at a beautiful place. You are blessed.

    coming back to your issue, there will always be naysayers. Even if you had bought the KTM, there would be some people who would tell you that Pulsar 200ns is better.

    The R15 is a great bike and it has proven it time and again. There is no point selling it and buying the Duke unless you have extra money to waste.

    Stick to your decision and enjoy riding your bike.

      Sid bro, first of all congratulations for the Yammy!
      Secondly, I envy you for you stay at such a beautiful place.

      You have a very stunning ride + you live @ such a stunning place - how can you be wrong?
      Glad your friends didn't advice you a bull! (No offences. Bulls are generally seen in the hilly areas up north)

      Enjoy your ride and do post some very beautiful pics of both, your bike and Dharamshala.

      Cheers.

        Huh!!!

        Did you buy R15 out of your choice or your friend's choice? Are your friend going to ride it or are you going to ride it?

        Last...are you living for yourself or for your friends?

            Actually R15 is best!! It would be fune cornering on the hill roads but cautiously friend!!

            But if it's hilly terrain then RE was excellent. Due to it's torque for hilly regions.

            Never look back after your decision is made, Try to live with it, side by it and woring on it. Think before any decision not after that!!

            R15 any day rocks!!!

                I guess you meant Duke350. There's no D390.
                You've a Duke690 though.

                    Are you facing any problems? I have been riding in himachal frquently on my v1 and have loved it to the core... it handles the curves beautifully, has good brakes, and is forgiving, lets you get away with small mistakes.
                    ride hard ! ride safe bro !

                            Don't mean to offend you in any way but.... If you are a poser then do what your friends say BUT If you LOVE your ride just listen to your heart and ride it hard (SAFELY ).
                            But one thing I need to admit that you really are lucky to live in one of INDIA'S most beautiful places along with riding INDIA'S one of the current best & proved - TRACK GEM.
