    My Pillion will be my friends, that too occasionally. And sometimes me if I go for a long shared ride. Mileage wise CBR is good I also heard. And this will be my first bike. Duke is not my choice. I prefer sporty looks as I used to ride a sporty cycle (left 2 years back).

    Just a thought, if I get a chance to choose something launched newly in 2013 in this segment ie: 150cc sports, should I wait ?.
    How long can you wait ??
    Surely thier would be some launch in 2013 or some color changes to existing models!! But this can be only thoughts too. Companies don't work as we want, they work with market studies!!

    Every year some or the other models are been launched!! But the question would be to you , Will you wait ?? If Yes then how long ??

    If you go through the posts in this thread you have shown your desire for CBR more than R15!! So what is the problem ?? Go a head and buy it.

Cbr sitting is sporty but not as sporty as r15. After some comparison I found that there is minor angle diff between cbr 150r handle bar and r15 v2 which makes lots of difference in long distance ride even though their seat heights are nearly equal. What I found was r15's handle bar is slightly more bent towards the ground where as in cbr 150r that slight bend is towards the rider. This was my observation, I assumed that this causes the extre aggressiveness in riding posture in r15. Experts can comment better on this.
    few angles do makes alot difference while riding my friend.
    And both are highway monsters dude, with little difference in top end.

    No one is expert here!! We share!! What we feel about the bikes won't be necessarily same for you too!! It should be your need which turns to selection of right bike!!
    No one here can help you to prioritize your need, it's you who can make the decision as per your wants!!

    Get one thing straight R15 is sports riding which won't be comfortable on long rides for a rider or pillion, But again this is matter of own choice, I ride my R15 550kms non stop without any issues, but little wrist pain, Personal choice though!!
    Where as people would love CBR for long ride or pillion comfort!!

    <ow it's you and your need to decide.

          Its a switch used for temporary lighting when trying to overtake or signal the oncoming traffic not to cross! ITs the switch`s primary use and its swifter
