    After a few scary minutes of traffic riding (until I realized the mirrors

    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

    Congrats!
    May I know which dealer in Bengaluru you bought it from?
    Innovative camera angle. Looks larger than it actually is in that angle

        My views on the YZF-R15 V2.0: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/198...tml#post699240

        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.

          @Nitin I bought it from Perfect Riders. Got the bike without any
          delays. So if he has your color of choice in stock you'll get the bike
          in a week.

              @Aditya - its the racing blue yamaha with graphics.
              I don't think the yamaha blue/maroon ones are being
              sold. Are they ?
