ReplyDeletedo you really think it is a good decition to spend a lakh of rupees on a bike that turns out JUST 17bhp??? even if we consider the power to weight ratio , 220 is equally placed and is about 15000 bux cheaper
ReplyDelete@eshaaan
ReplyDeleteYamaha R15 shouldn't be compared with the p220 or the ZMA.
If 1lakh price tag is justified or not can be said only on 14th June.
i dnt think so that there is any benefit in spending a lakh rupees on yamaha yzf r15 bcs it only leads in looks when compared to bajaj 220fi rather 150cc and 220cc has a big difference as well as difference of near abt 15000 to 20000rs in cost
ReplyDeleteso according to me its not a great deal
@rajat
ReplyDeleteAll i can say is:
Wait till you actually ride it.
Hey wat abt the mileage of R15. I really need to know more abt it to make a decision of buyin it or not
ReplyDeleteWhen ur spending 100k+ on a bike, mileage should be the last thing you should think of.
ReplyDeleteExpect it to deliver around 45 under normal city conditions.
I have purchase the byke on June 30th 2008 and today ie. 11th July I have drove 2000 kms on my R15.
ReplyDeleteSure it wll not give u an impression that as soon as u'll hit the throttle it will fly, but you can really feel it when u'll ride, its not only about the speed I am 29 today and since 18 years I am riding bykes.
Its the best of all the rx100's ybx, unicorns, pulsars that I have driven, not coz of its style and looks but coz of its amazing controls and the stability it provides when u have to apply brakes at a speed of 100 km/hr, in you complete cycle of your motorbyke' u'll hardly take any of them over 120 no matter its R1 or CBR.
Its the stabily that matters,
I drove it straight from lucknow to delhi in a go. thats the real thing, any other bajajs, tvs and rest of other yamaha's will cease in 250 kms of continuous drive.
And paying 85 for pulsar 220 which has the same primitive technology, with illogically designed looks, its better to spend more.
