No idea about it, but as mentioned in the article there was some issue of nose diving in R15 which didn't allow the best braking out of it. -
My bad!! My humble apologies.Originally posted by satyenpoojary View Post

I really dont know from where you guys got to know about the rider who test the bike. Before posting anything out here, please keep your eyes and ears open as that can be misleading!!
Bunny couldnt test ride the bike as it was already being tested by Aspi with the VBOX strapped-on!!
@Mods, Sorry but i cant stand people shooting in the air!!
@Aditya
Test ride both the bikes and go with what your heart says.Those acceleration and braking figures are not much to choose from as they are too close.Comment

Chicane, I have the BI issue where I read the bike being tested by Bunny. Let me cross check it. Even I have shown that to few of our fellow xbhpians. Anyway, I would cross check again.
Hope, Bunny will clear some of our doubts.HH Karizma (Current) || CBF Stunner PGM-FI || Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler

Rip the bike to atleast 7K RPM before you change any gear!Originally posted by Aditya-biking pro View PostI will test drive the R15 tomorrow,would like to see its low-end pull and riding posture!Quench my thirst with gasoline!Comment

Same with that article(0-100-0) too, they had clearly mentioned that a single rider tested in almost same condition for that test. Please read page 62-63 at August 2009.Originally posted by chicane1879 View Post
If they write wrong things, then this is a different problem altogether.Comment

Chicane, the earlier issue of August carried test rides of P220 and RTR180, where P220 was tested by Bunny, and I was actually refering to those numbers. I have not checked the latest issue (August).
The confusion came because of two test rides with different riders from BI. In this case, I will take back my words, and please ignore them.HH Karizma (Current) || CBF Stunner PGM-FI || Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler

Be my guest.....i suppose we both can prove our words and may be then we can finally establish whether its 220 or R15...who rules the highwaysOriginally posted by Shanz View PostAhem! Ahem!
I can get that city part but highways?
Jokes apart please!
Once u get used to the riding posture its a breeze.
it helps the rider,keeping him tucked in,thus making breaking,handling,leaning way better than p220.
And p220 dosnt stand a chance vs R15 anyway in these three department.
FYI: i smoked a R15 and a ZMA (both unknown) on the famous Delhi-Gurgaon Highway and trust me they were nowhere to be seen

Mt friends slightly modded Rx100 beats the crap out of the ZMA, the R15, the RTR and the P220... was that your point?Originally posted by rossi_god View PostBe my guest.....i suppose we both can prove our words and may be then we can finally establish whether its 220 or R15...who rules the highways

Highway crusing is so different from top whack.... hopefully you will get the point someday!
Mods: This thread reflects the sorry state that xBHP has become offlate... mud slinging, brand wars, insane attempts to increase Post counts and what not.... please let it rest for a while, unless ofcourse the topic starter needs it like that!

But you are the "Man" mam
How do you explain R15's (Atleast the Co. Claimed)/ PW advantage?
kW(Converted from PS)/KG(Curb Weight)
YZYR15 = 0.10
BAJP220 = 0.10
RTR180 = 0.09
PW ratio is not all, but its worth considering when riding without a pillion.
Launch the R15 at 8000RPM, shift at 10 (quick without dropping the RPM below 8500 in next gear) and the P220 will be along till 400m and R15 will take the lead after.
Source: several local trials with interchanged riders with weights between 65 and 72
But then a lot of the R15's on street run bad after 3000kms ODO without proper maintenance.
P220 feels faster, thanks to the vibrations and low end torque.
Im talking DTSi and DTSFi ( I felt the DTSFi had better top whack)

Any other such method of checking the initial torque??

Lol one more "i have beaten R15 on street signal drags" post! People will resort to any tactic just to bloat their egos. I suppose the OP is buying a bike just for street signal drags? The level of maturity on xbhp is falling day by day.... sigh. I really hope the mods formulate a rule to take care of flame baiting/brand wars arising out of such posts.sigpic

As such there are no particular "methods" for checking the initial torque. What Sarvajit told you will give you the true feel of R15....... initial torque can be observed while accelerating the bike in lower rpms in each gear. There is an obvious lack in R15 in the initial rpm because it is designed to scorch the roads at high rpms...... it is not built to cruise around on!! The same is the case with P220 albeit a difference of 70cc in engine which the R15 covers up in the high toque range. Both these bikes need to be revved hard to reach good speeds..... which unfortunately you cannot do in regular traffic.Originally posted by Aditya-biking pro View PostThanks.

So in the end.... "Test Drive". The brand wars can go on forever.... but it is you who has to decide and ride that bike.
BTW i own a P220 and faced a similar dilemma when deciding which bike to purchase. I felt more comfortable on P220 and bought it. Whichever bike you feel is more comfortable, buy it.
Do as your HEART says....
Cheers

And one more thing, a acquaintance of mine recently purchased a p220 since it was cheaper than the R15 and the overall package looked good. However the bike has just completed 2k kms and has lost all initial smoothness(when the bike was new). The person in question is now contemplating selling it and going for the R15. These are just little things that one learns to appreciate while riding the R15. The usable performance (sans the vibes and harshness) is really amazing on the r15.
Oh and get a TD without the SVC guy riding pillion :PLast edited by Wheel_Spin; 09-08-2009, 10:29 PM.sigpic
