    r15 or kzma-r??????

    hi ...
    since last one month, from the day i have sold my hh ambition i am really confused to decide whats going to be my next ride..

    R15 OR KZMA-R....

    i will be booking one of the two by the end of this month ..but plz help me to decide for what should i go for..Heard that rates of r15 is gonna decrease by 10-15k.so with in 90-95k i can get a bike and good riding gears too..
    more over i am 6 feet tall and its bothering me wether r15 will look good at me or no and does the sporty sitting position of r15 has any side effects like back pians etc.

    We have been hearing this rumour for the past 6 months!

    Approved nonetheless

            As per my experience R15 has no back pain issues, I would anytime suggest R15 - The Mini Rocket is worth for money.

              I'm 5'9" and so far its been like a dream on the R15. You should buzz riazmomin, he is 6' or a little more, he was an r15 owner but later sold it, not due to comfort issues though. I guess he enjoyed that bike.

                No problems, no issues at all.
                A VFM machine. Though at starting you may get little bit of neck pain or so but you will be use to it and will love it like anything.

                  Test ride or borrow ride the machines and you will be in better position to clear the confusion around you. What do you want from your new machine ? R15 is performance and sports centric, Zma-R best for touring and commuting.

                    ZMA-R for Torque & Touring...
                    R15 for that Sporty feel & easy leans... (though my ZMA-R leans as much the same)

                    The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.

                      Wait just 6-7 days more than the end of this month, and depending on any developments in the Auto Expo you could make an informed choice...

                        ZMR looks huge for me,plus the availability of spares and proper service personel is what pushing me from it.otherwise it is the best of both worlds

                        R15 is great in all respects , I do wish to see the ZMR like raised handlebars as an optional accessory cause back pain is what bothers me when i consider this beauty

                        you try both and make a decision

                          I would suggest u to wait till the Auto Expo in January. But, if u need to buy right now, I would recommend u to get the R15. To be frank, for your height you may have some trouble getting used to its riding position. But it is the best handler out there and its looks are second to none. It gives a decent mileage around 40-43.

                          The ZMA-R is also a very good bike. It is very comfortable and is ideal for touring. But it is very old and has become very common especially in my place!!
