    The R15 is not very comfortable, less so for someone sitting side-saddle. If pillion comfort is important, then check out the Honda Hornet as well.
    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

        Hi Ishaan, first of all, welcome to xBhp.
        Now, coming to your query, if you can please fill the following format up, then it'd be easier for the members to suggest you accordingly.

        1. Budget
        2. Age
        3. Height
        4. Weight
        5. Intended usage (eg. Office/College commute, Highway runs, Racetrack usage, Weekend recreation riding etc.)
        6. Fuel Efficiency requirement (approx., if any)
        7. City & Highway percentage usage
        8. Approximate Daily / Monthly running
        9. City / Town /Village of residence (so we can evaluate road conditions / traffic / terrain / altitude / OTR pricing)
        10. Brand / Bike type preference (if any)
        A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

          You got to be joking , I wouldnt risk an old persons life by taking him/her as pillion on a R15v2.0, But like Monk pointed out, you can opt for the new R15S, that has the same spec as your V2.0 but with the ergonomics of the old R15.

              I second this .... and the Honda Hornet ... my cousin and I took a long TD and he ended up buying it. Its good looking and sporty looking while being very generous to the pillion.
              When I'm on the road, I'm indestructible. No one can stop me... but they try.
