    about the track part,not really....You have many users here who haven't faced any problems when it comes to commuting on a R15...If your heart says R15,just go for it...

      Please don't spread FUD. Back pain isn't an issue on the R15 once you get used to the seating position.

              Post your personnel review once you get the bike.

                  Super!
                  Looking forward to seeing you in the R15 Ownership thread soon..
                  & yeah, pls ensure you take delivery in dry conditions.. You don't wanna ruin the ride on DAY 1 in this rainy weather..

                  The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                      congrats anshuman....19k on the odo in the last 10 months have only given me satisfaction with this bike...
                      IMHO no other indian bike comes close to the advantages of the 15...

                        Yup! I had taken test rides at Bangalore Wheels (Rajajinagar), & Perfect Riders (Lalbagh Road).. They are more than happy, if you're genuinely interested..
                        I personally wouldn't recommend Pacer Yamaha (Infantry road) for a TD, coz firstly they act very cocky, & secondly, its only narrow streets around that you can test ride the bike on..
                        Ride the bike at high revs (not necessarily at high speeds), to know whats in store..
