Not nice… Good in looks but bad in riding comforts… Lengthy byke, hence difficult to take U-turns, and smooth curves in city traffic, moreover the gear shift is high and so rear of riders seat hence gear shifts makes tough to reach as the ankle is already bent in normal seating position… 800mm seat height is not average height for all riders… height need to be rebuilt….

Every youngsters in India will like r15. But the only thing is it lags in mileage and it is too costly while comparing other 150 cc bikes.

I dont know why all are comparing prices of r15 to other 150 cc bikes and comparing performance of r15 with 220+ cc bikes.

No other 150 cc bikes in India will stand up against r15.

Hi guys..just an update for someone want to buy an R15…

Guys…I being riding bikes since 1995. So from experience I talk. I own a R1 in Sydney, Australia but this bike cost above 14lakhs in Chennai (it cost AUD$20,000 in Sydney on road that is Rs 8.8 lakhs)..so i ended up with R15 to use in Chennai during my short stay here…now let me tell u why I picked up R15 comparing to other Indian bikes in the 150cc category…first…the bike got the looks…no one can deny that..it also has the best technology in the 150cc category available currently in India. Also the bike has good performance above 5000 RPM range. The bike runs smooth and virtual vibration free. Before buying a R15, I had a RTR180 almost new one from a friend for 2 weeks…RTR180 is as good as R15 in performance but lacks in smoothness unlike YAMAHA otherwise it is a good bike as well. Other 150cc bike is no match…so I dont comment here. The only down side of R15 is the cost and it does not suit you if u are above 6ft. But Yamaha justified their cost and I think they are well priced for what you get. This bike is AUD$3000 on road in Australia (Rs1.32 lacs) so it is still cheaper in India..it cost more even in other Asian countries..just check it out for urself..so R15 is cheaper in India..

Downside of R15
My friend is 6.2ft and he finds that the bike is too short for him..but he loves the overall bike..so I recommend have a test ride and then decide if this bike is suitable for you. It makes no sense comparing bike with a bike which has higher CC and it is unfair to even compare so I talk only about 150cc category here and R15 and the second choice RTR180…I think selecting a bike is a pure personal choice…dont listen to anyone…just take a test ride on a R15 and other bikes of ur choice and then u yourself decide how comfortable u r with the bike and budget and I am sure your inner heart will tell u lets go for this one…Just remember…ride the bike and then talk…not vice-versa. Most of the above comments are childish…do ur own homework…and take ur ass to the showroom for a test ride..no offence here mate!!

I respect all the bikes in India has it has their Pro’s and Con’s but R15 was my choice…good luck guys….last thing…please dont talk about mileage if u need a performance bike..there are other good Indian bikes for that…all the best…:-)) Arif Hameed …email: arifhameed08@hotmail.com ( pls feel free to ask me if u need any more information on R15)

Boss….if u want mileage…go and get urself a hero honda…it makes no sense to talk about mileage if u want a performance bike…its like asking for ferrari and u want good fuel consumption….if u buy a R15…it gives u only about 35km pl… good day!

I have a R15 and my only concern is getting a wider tire…nothing else.
