  • Change in Bike - P200 to R15

    Hi..I am looking forward to change my present 11month old P200 to R15...Is it good to change the bike now ?

    Main things i am considering

    Will R15 suit me ??
    I am 6.1 ft tall and weigh 70kgs - I find R15's build a little short, P200 fits me perfectly.. so the thing i am seeing is the height of the bike

    I want to change the bike as i am finding it difficult for Servicing, Spares, Warranty problems... is it advisable to change the bike now considering there is a news about Honda launching its 150cc Mill

    Suggest me guys should i change the bike or not ?

          Well as per the above post the problem is service related and also maintenance cost is little on the higher side due to non-availability of proper mechanics/service/spares..

            Aah .. I didn't see those reasons. You can try another service center and see how it fares. Changing the bike for service issues doesn't look reasonable to me.

            Regarding R15, yeah you are a little tall for it but if you can ride it without a problem then that's ok.

              I have two friends at 6'2" and well built - have an R15, they comment that it is ergonomically very comfortable.

                  Taller guys dnt look as kool on R15 as moderate height guys do.. On the other hand, back pain issues have been heard a lot..!!
