First when you are opting for 1.3L + bikes then i guess you might know the maintenance cost and etc???

Secondly if you are planning for daily ride then INMO R15 or CBR 150 is way beyond daily usage, this are high speed bikes for highways more than city!! If your commuting consists higway ride too daily then only go for these bikes else look for some other bikes!!

CBR is has Sport Tourer segment with relaxes riding position so don't confuse it with R15 ride. R15 is totally sports, very uncomfortable in city in traffic!! But i know some R15 lovers including me can protect this statement, that they are comfortable in city traffic too, it's not the bike but it's their love for it.

R15 V2 is not at all pillion friendly, previous version was.
R15 corners like SBKs!! It has great looks, Stability, Handling and braking.
Where as CBR is also close to it. But CBR is more Tourer type!!

CBR lacks some of the features which should have been there, but unfortunately not!! It is duplicate of CBR 250 very same as P150 and P180 looks!! You might get my point.

But R15 too gives 40-45 average with 60-80kmph!! same is for CBR too. does CBR crosses these figures too.
R25 gives 5okmpl too there are many who got it in 40-60kmph!! I am one of them, but i don't like riding it on 40-60kmph band, i ride over 80kmph only with an average of 40-45kmpl.

SVC are all over same for all brands! But I guess Honda still haven't stabilized on parts matters!!
If you are alone rider with Highway then CBR else R15.
I am shocked Prince!! You hurted me like Hell...lol.... I still think no bike in INdia has that looks which R15 has!!

This is absolutely Nil!! R15 sucks in City, not coz of the power or torque but the riding position is hell in traffic! And if there is average traffic like medium sort then CBR or R15 are almost same like negligible!! CBR or R15 both produces it's optimum power beyond 7k rpm....


TS think wise,
R15: Highways and alone!!
CBR : City highways and pillion.
