At first I was not impressed with the R15. Well to begin with, it has a puny 150cc engine, as found in most bikes. Okay its FI but so is Apache RTR 160!
However going by the rave reviews it has got, R15 seems to be a hoot to drive. Damn those showroom guys who just won't let me test drive it!
As I said, 150cc seems too less and I would have liked it around 200 mark at least. Still the bike delivers thanks to good power-to-weight ratio.
There are 3 color options at present. My pick is the blue one.
Design wise, the front is appealing and stylish. Rear section is uninspiring however. And tyres look too thin and puny to be frank.
Still, overall its definitely the best looking 150cc bike in the country, though at a price!
Speaking of which, I say 1L is a tad too much for a 150cc bike, even if its this good. But if you are a true biker, the price doesnt matter.
So that part having been reasoned logically :D , the bit about practicality comes in. If I do go for it, when the hell do I get to drive it!! Weekends yes, but then where do I park it safely during weekdays? Delhi is a nightmare for an automobile lover if you dont have a permanent parking place with proper shed.
Shelling out 1L makes sense if you are going to get to drive it frequently. In my case, that would be a tad difficult. Hmm, thats sad!
