Yamaha is soon gonna launch it's YZ-150. It is a 150cc bike and looks totally awesome. I think you should wait for that.

afaik, yamaha bikes are not good at mileage and serivces.

You should check Honda StunnerCBF

Specs:

125cc
Net power: 11bhp@@800rpm
Torque: 11Nm@@6500rpm
Digital ignition
Tubeless front and rear tyres
disc brake for front tyres
0-60 in 5.2sec

60k on-road for this bike with disc brakes



Yamaha's new R15 *www.yamaha-motor-india.com/product/r15/index.html

PS: Getting a pulsar in India is like getting BSNL landline :)

Once you have seen & given the Yamaha R15 a test drive, you wouldn't want to go to any other bike.

It is not at all efficient, it costs 1 lakh, gives average of 35 KMPL Yamaha's service center's aren't that widespread but it's like Apple. :D The hardware is too hot to resist, just looks alone will sale it.

^dude,it completely blows,I mean it isn't at all that good looking tbh and considering the price tag its a serious no-no.

the new Yamaha FZ16 is definitely better looking IMO.

so its like:
Yamaha FZ16-65k,150cc.
Honda stunner-125cc(~55k) for the budget conscious.

Oh and BTW kawasaki is officially launching ninja in jan. next year-250cc,1.75 lakhs.:)

I think Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi is overall better than R15. R15's strong points are it's looks and handling (I don't like the positioning of the front number plate on the fairing though). The bike is made to handle like a pro. However the engine still is a mere 150cc. And since it is tuned to give max performance it does not deliver mileage the same as other 150cc bikes.

r15 is a weekend bike.
if you ride it everyday, you'll get back pain in few month/year.

everybody know honda cbr:| ,

ask for dealers at www.team-bhp.com


i think the importers are in Mumbai based only.

---------------
Name: FZ16

Top Speed: 132kph
Fuel Consumption: 36 :eek:

Fuel Consumption: 47:eek::eek:

btw, open this site in opera - *cbr-150r.com/
