    That question answered.
    Now, coming to performance, you can forget about comparisons. The R15 can beat the Fazer with 2 gears left, that is the kind of difference in power we are talking about.
    Again there is a lot of difference in the way a sportbike behaves, vis a vis a street bike does-power delivery, comfort, stance, chassis, technology, everything. Take your pick according to your preferences-nothing is good or bad. If its right for you then its good.
    But I would surely like to say, if you do choose the R15, the best handler we got in the Indian market, upsizing the rear tyre will be like castrating it.

          Hi bro,

          Both look somwhat alike(my perspective). R15 has sharp edges and the Fazer has a curvy body. Must say both have road presence. Well since there aren't so many Fazers as the 15s, I too feel Fazer will have more road presence. Also the bulgy headlights suit the fat rear tire. On the other hand the R15 also grabs attention for some particular non-popular colours(red,golden blah blah.....). But I would suggest red R15(if you are OK with red) since it would be a case of money well spent. Fazer might dissapoint you after 85kmph(no offence meant). If you are only riding in the city, Fazer is the one to go without doubt. If you are on the highway frequently, go for the baby R1.

            dude..R15 has a pretty good road prescence and the icing on the cake is its handling and performance..ride it and you will drop dead in its love..but you said you were 6ft..same here bro..and that is the onle reason i had to go for P220..coz my friends insisted R15 would look a bit small to me..

              what bike

              thank you all for your kind support...i think ill go with the r15 coz,i do need top end perfomance from my bike which the fazer lacks...had the fazer been 2-3 ps more,i would have gone with the fazer without any trouble,but that punny 14ps is not good on top end,but the thing which annoys me about the r15 is that it shows no power below 6rpm,coz i have been riding the menace for 8months so im used to thepowerof it,yes my rtr180 which im going to sell,then only i can purchase a new one....

                R15, in my view, has a better road presence of the both
                even when im on my karizma, i tend to look at the R15s which i see(but still love my karizma over t he R15)
                if you are planning for R15, then go for the blue n white combo
                it looks fantastic

                    R15 is the best looking machine from side.

                      i guess there is no blue-white colour scheme in r15,it comes only with the 2010 r1....correct me if im wrong????

                          may be it was a blue, and not a combo
                          also the yellow-white combo looks brilliant
