I became a fan of this motorcycle when the dealer loaned me one, whilst my regular ride was being serviced. I found it smooth and quite easy to ride. A week later the dealer let me swap my regular ride for the R15 for$0. Running the bike in was a labour of love as the rev limit meant I had to negotiate my hilly 80 km/h zones at 60km/h for the first 1000km. Once the engine had freed up more with extra kilometres, there were no further issues keeping up with 80 and even 100km/h freeway traffic. Fuel consumption was excellent, especially with the 12 litre tank giving a very good range(over 300km). My only downside with this bike are the rear view mirrors. No amount of adjusting was able to give me the excellent rear vision I had on my previous ride(Yamaha TMax). I found it to be light enough for my wife to wheel it in and out of the garage(one of reasons I went for a smaller bike). For storage I fitted a Ventura bike pack which served me well.
