This is not a review I would rather say its a preview. I ain't gonna tell no lie to you all, I haven't got a chance to ride this bike but will soon be getting a hand on my own, I do have taken a sit on it and it feels perfect for a guy of average build and 5'8" so am satisfied with its overall aspects. U have been following every review on mouthshut by its members and there has not been any review passed without my outlook.


Well to begin with my story first, I am from Nepal and this bike was launched a month back over here with a price tag of 2.5 lacs (yes u read it right) that would roughly be around 1.56 lacs IRS. But recently due to new fiscal year in our calendar there was again a hike on every product and now it costs whupping 2, 62, 900 NC (roughly 1.64 lacs IRS) so I would like to tell you one thing and that is you all guys are really lucky to be being over there and that the bike costs around 1 lac IC over there, it would have been everybody piece of cake. Coz the average bike that we buy over here narrows to 1.64 lacs (NC)at least. So that would mean there would have been only and only R15 bike on road had we not have to pay all those taxes and duties. Once I went to India (nautanwa, also called maharjgunj in UP) I went to Yamaha dealers and asked about R15 and there I was shocked to get his response, he said to me that, those kind of premium bikes are mostly sold in your side not over here, people are still happy with zillion-liter bike asking about mileage kya hain? So I started wondering that would mean that here there are as equal bike over here as any major ciites of India.


I could see many R15 hissing pass me and that is the least sight I would like to see. Most of it is black color and I could even see black and red on the road as well.


I don't wanna give its technical specifications coz once EINSTEIN told that he doesn't want to keep those information in mind that he would get it easily so he didn't even had his phone number with him saved coz he could get it easily. Its the best bike I have seen on Indian and Nepalese road till date. I really enjoyed reading all of the review by members coz it lets me know that I would not regret later on buying that bike.. Thanks to our government that we are entitle for easy hire purchase loan so that would mean I would have to deposit just 1 lac upfront and I can get my dream machine and that would be sooner and once I get a hand on it I would update this review.


Also the reason behind my wait is that I heard somewhere may be its a rumor but I am excited to know that Yamaha people are launching the revamped version of this bike soon, so sorry guys who all brought the bike eagerly, I wont say that you would regret but at least we have something better coming our ways. Patience is virtue thats what every bike manufacturing company have been spreading this message to its consumers coz they always upgrade and this time I am waiting for a better looking rear view may be with the silencer under the seat or at least two step seat coz 2.63 lacs is what I would be paying and its my dad hard earned money so better buy the best then not.


I will soon upgrade this space when I will buy it. Till then always ride to care not to dare. Happy riding!
