Working as Energy professional(mechanical Engineering).
Now My first two wheeler > 0 BHP Yamaha R15(Flying Duck).
Total riding 20,000KM only(both mine & mine Duck)
Before that I travel through Bus. I Had seen R15 while visiting in auto expo 2008 when Yamaha had decided to launch it in India. When R15 was launched I was impressed by its feature & reviews and decided to buy my first two wheeler whenever i will be financially able.
Actually i enjoy the involvement while riding Sportsbike, RPM, gear change at sweet spot, front braking, combination with rear brake, cornering, counter steer, foot position on brake peg & gear peg, throttle response, target fixation etc.
I started to learn motorcycle with my Flying Duck (R15) only. believe me its very forgiving bike for your learning. though sometimes repairing for fairing is real pain, which I had done more than couple of times. as used to fall a lot initially while braking & slipping. Now ..
With in these Biking 1.5 years in I had learned to ride my Flying Duck from scratch with increasing speed (40KMPH -> 90KMPH->125KMPH->140KMPH), verified all the records for R15 personally i.e. fastest 50KMPH, fastest 100KMPH, shortest braking distance, travelled 300+ Km in single day, from 100KMPH to zero and most noticeable Head on collision at 125KMPH( and 8+ months bed ridden).
Now still I ride fast, cross 130 KMPH frequently but with responsibly & in more mature way.. learned the lesson hard way.
Life is very precious do every thing to keep it safe while enjoying your Flying Duck
