Guys, please help me out here. I am confused between Gixxer SF and Yamaha R15. R15 is 25k more than Gixxer SF. Also, I ride slowly most of the time. So I think R15 for me is too much. I have a girlfriend and since she'll be riding with me most if the time I'm worried about her comfort as well. However I'm totally blown off by the looks of R15 and I can't take it out of my mind. What do I do?!

The R15 is on a different level as compared to the SF.Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

SF also gives a better mileage and relaxed riding position. Please test ride them both and decide on it. Don't go with looks alone.Comment

Ask your GF sit as pillion when you take the TD of these 2 bikes since she is going to accompany you most of the times. So her comfort is also important here.
If you were to ride solo, go for R15(again which model in that is totally up to you , be it V2 or R15s).
I for once made a mistake without consulting her and I ride alone 95% of the times (which I like actually on a personal note).R15S - Current

Add CBR 150R to the mix,better performer than both the bikes( i feel),however it has lower torque which can be a pain in the cities.Comment

If you like the R15, go for it. Give preference to what your heart says(no pun intended)!
The R15S is a mix of both the worlds. The performance of R15 and pillion comfort - together. Take a test ride with your girlfriend. I have a friend who takes his wife as pillion and both of them are happy on their R15S. R15 is still a looker even after all these years.
This is not to say SF is a bad bike. It's a brilliant piece of machine with refreshing looks. But, a bit low on power as compared to R15.A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
