But as I said before if something is good it will sell, no matter what it is made up of. Please take a long test ride again and if it suits you, go get it. Also you can check the ownership thread in the motorcycle ownership experiences section, to check how the owners are liking their V15 in day today life. Ask specific questions to them, if you have any. They will be a great help to make an informed decision. All the best.
    Hi Ankey, yeah have posted few queries already in the ownership thread. But haven't got any answers yet., the thread seems to be quite for some time now

      yeah brother, maybe the owners are having too much fun riding their new bikes. Just go through the thread to check what pros and cons the owners have reported.. any problems or issues faced. That will give you a good idea about the bike. For any other questions, we are here to help.
      I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

          Yup, the engine is going to be a gem for sure, being a Yammy. Being an owner of a Yammy I can vouch for that. Not sure if it has a 5 speed gearbox. If it has then the disc variant with a 5 speed gearbox will do the trick. If not Honda Shine SP should be the answer.
          Weigh out all your options and then choose the one that suits you the best.

            Actually it is a 4 speed gearbox and the engine is full of torque. You can feel the engine pulling after slowly releasing the clutch. It is the same trick that Bajaj tried with V15's 150cc engine and also managed pull it. Both are full of torque and Saluto is also pretty light 113KGs (disc variant) so it manages a top-speed of 75-80KMs with out any prob. Again Yammy engine with 5 years of Engine warranty, jackpot.!! only thing am looking concerned is it's saddle height, as it has the segment's best ground clearance, it is littler taller for a 5' 4" person like me

              Probably ll b going for Yammy Saluto 125 Disc. On-road Chennai 69,400 (all charges including with extended warranty), Shine SP on-road Chennai 75,700 (all charges). An extra 6,200 for an other gear which probably I won't use much in Chennai traffic is way too much. Hence thinking strongly for Saluto 125 disc..!
