Well I just took the delivery of my r15 yesterday night (30th June 2008)(Bangalore r15 bash-garuda mall) and believe me this bike rocks ….its engine is smooth and the compression is great …i have already
ridden close to 60 kms and she gave me close to 41kms to the litre, since the the bike has to be run in I haven’t revved more than 6000rpm in each gear but anyone can easily make out the power building up close
to 5000rpm ….the gearshifts are smooth and overall bike feels great….it
is to be noted that the are no flat spots in acceleration and the bike
feels very comfortable even at low revs ….all of us who took the
delivery yesterday were given a fantastic time by Yamaha as we given
r15 t shirts and a high tea was organized at chancery pavilion hotel
wherein the official launch ceremony took place in Bangalore.we were
given an interactive session with top Yamaha honchos from the r&d
and other divisions of Yamaha …..speaking to them gave us a lot info on
how good this bike is and we were shown some exclusive videos and vital
stats and comparisons….finally coming back to the bike …it lives up to
everyone’s expectations once they ride it as I found out and reminds me
of the the Yamaha stressing the pride of ownership at the launch
function as this bike has been designed by the same people who designed
all the YZF R series …this bike is special and it feels really
special….(also to be noted is the heads it turns …people throng around
it even at signals)…finally it gives me great joy to say Yamaha is
back… anybody wanting to buy it need not think twice its money well
spent.period.
