I've booked the yellow one.

Blue is common but looks good, red is flashy.. nothing really special about the new black. (obviously my opinion only)

The color themes are borrowed from the YZF R125! Directly!

Riding gear, well, to be honest I use only a helmet when I commute on my current bike (a 100cc) but will invest in gloves for city use, and a jacket for longer rides soon. You should too..

Here's a preview of Red and Yellow for you, since you haven't seen them. Both are xBhpian's bikes. The yellow belongs to BOOO and the red to gaurav_c if I'm not mistaken. I just saved these images on my system for my reference.

I think there are just 2 proper tracks in the country, one at Coimbatore (Kari) and the other at Chennai (MMSC track)

Another question guys...

What kind of safety gear do you riders wear (in city commute) ?
Helmet obviously, but what about gloves ?
boots ? not practical to look like a stormtrooper in office!

I wear gloves (ProBiker) fro my city commute.. You can also go for the DSG MotoMesh @850 INR for city use.. Its available easily at Balaji Helmets (Lalbagh Road), & Orion Motors (Yamaha showroom, opp The forum)..

Like TNT pointed out, only 2 race-tracks in India.. Yet to take my ride to the tracks..
You have race track opportunities on:
1. 13-Sep (Palace Grounds, custom-built temporary racetrack, Bangalore)
2. 20-Sep (Kari motor Speedway, racetrack, Coimbatore)
3. 27-Sep (MMSC, racetrack, Chennai)

Congrats my friend! A choice you will not regret!

Got my blue R15 yesterday and its been quite a fun day so far!

After a few scary minutes of traffic riding (until I realized the mirrors
needed some adjustment), it was smooth riding all the way home.
The bikes feels different from anything I've ever ridden! but is great to
ride once you realize u need grip the tank to release the pressure on the wrist. The gearshift is smooth and had me checking a few times
if the shift went thru'. I find the mirror a little troublesome coz I am not
able to adjust it to my satisfaction. My mirror doesn't seem to move around much so have to check if it can be loosened and adjusted. Invested in a bike cover as I live in a very dusty neighborhood and its been very useful.

Will post more details after I've done some more riding
