in xbhp hyd a guy sold his R15 because his shoulder was giving some problem and couldnt take the position .. so he got a xtreme

a little physics .. when you lean forward you weight is taken off your butt and transfered onto your upperbody ..
in this case HANDS ...
and bending the spine for too long is never treated good
hope you understand ..
R15 is a awesome bike but lacks touring AS COMPARED to FZ
that's the catch.. it is how you position your self..
As santa said the more you ride the more you fall in love with this bike..

just as one would be blind to the faults of a loved one i am yet to find stuff about my bike that i consider un-livable..
sure some things are difficult but then no bike is perfect..and all problems are forgiven every time a see a medium curve come up..
it was precisely the reason i did not sell and chose the retain the bike even when i knew i had to go abroad for three years..Why is the man who invests all your money, called a broker?Comment

I've done 700kms in a single day and I was feeling simply normal after I reached my destination. The bike is an amazing tourer and handles highways like a charm.
I've toured on most Indian bikes and this one was the least stressed.
An FZ is too pricey for the package it offers, but the R15 is really worth every penny or more.sigpic

Probably your back pains a little more than the other bikes, but I think its all about get used to. An FZ is a bad bike to compare, I would rate the R15 a way better tourer than an FZ simply because with that engine, you cant cruise in peace really. My back hurt a lot more when I rode an r15 as compared to an upright bike like a zma, but the point is, if you get used to it, none of the present bikes can replace it in India. I know what these guys mean when they say, you will like the R15 more when you ride other bikes in India. Although it might not the best tourer in India, it does the job pretty well but I do hope you have a strong back, otherwise get used to visiting the gym more often. I learnt it the hard way.Originally posted by sam92 View Post@santa ..

First when I got my pulsar, during the first week my wrists and shoulder were paining a lot. At that time I was really frustrated and I was thinking something was seriously wrong with the bike. But later I got used to it. So if you are having problems with the riding position initially you might get used to it later.
But if you are already having back problems then I guess the sporty riding position on the r15 wont be that comfortable.Comment
