The point is, when you get a horse, you have to ride it like a horse. Cannot keep riding it like how you rode the donkey till then.
Amen!!!
love the horse - donkey analogies!Originally posted by HydBiker View PostThe parts of an R15 are not costly when compared to other premium bikes. In fact, many of them they are cheaper but overall it might work out to the same....
See, when you have got a horse, you have to feed it Horse food that is more expensive and possibly not as easily available as Donkey food that we are used to.
sure it fits the bill... but it comes in second when the two bikes being considered are the Fazer and the R15.Originally posted by HydBiker View PostAs far as Fazer goes, guys please understand that most people do 70-90 KMPH when they tour. Higher speeds than that are only occasional bursts. For that purpose, it definitely fits the bill.
coz he's already mentioned that the price difference is not an issue for him.
and so since... the R15 is so much less stressed doing those speeds... with the addition 6th gear... based on his requirements...
the R15 is a better pick..

If u really wanna enjoy ur biking experience and not bother about whether u did a 130 or 140 or 145 kmphh.
Then r15 is the best package that you can get.
It gives u decent power,handling , Fuel effiecieny , good braking , sporty feel .
Takes abuse .
Ppl who say or are skeptical that it cant tour -
Done 21k kms till date .all of them oly on tours .
Just one set tire change till date. else no maintainence reqd.
I get it out once in two weeks , starts with one push of the electric start.
go for a 2 day 1000km ride , and back in its parking lot. requires 0 maintainence.
and yes about height-The underbelly does not touch anywhere.
Disadvantages- million gear shifts.
handling takes a beating when with full tank of fuel and luggage .(needs getting used to ).
Suspension is v stiff for bad roads , for Gq and NH its no problem .
Stock lights are Just for show. absolute shit.
Horn aint v loud on stock.
Thats sums up ur r15.

fazer has a terrible milleage.. my pal owns a fz16 and it delivers between 30-35 kmpl..
imagine the fz16 burdened with a 7kg fairing to be renamed as fazer.. so u verry well know how much milleage to expect from it..
