UPDATE: i took a ride of this little beast and its totally different from other bikes of the same 150cc category .
first of .. the engine doesnt cry like somebody has squeezed its throat when u take it to near top speed.. honestly i actually didnt took it to that :).. has got a smooth throttle response + the feel of this bike is completely different and a good handling capability .. u can actually feel the difference when u rev the engine above 10000rpm..
the CONS ..
..i saw in it was its size … like its a baby r1.. now if u compare this with karizma or hunk the r bigger n more heavy … weight is again a factor with r15 just 120kg and hunk, cbz xtreme r more near to 150kg also the rear tire is thin for a bike of this type..road grip is affected by its weight.. another thing is that this bike is priced high .. i think 1 lakh is too much for a bike like this ./.
in spite of the fact that this is 150cc bike .. the mileage sticks to around 30/Lt…that’s kinda bad.. so do we call it a performer .. or just another fuel sucking bike ..

hey dude..!! gr8 going..!! thanks for such a wonderful information through your blog.!!!!
keep going.!!
The R15 bike is good,but the cost factor is very high from other 150cc bike. People not interested for given extra money only for the model. Its price should be inbetween75000 on road price. I thing if the price between 75000 then people 1st choise this bike in 150cc to 200cc sagment.
If disc are two in front so it look’s superb
Well I have a Karizma And Hero Honda is not the firm which gives the sports to the biking but its a real throttling experience of driving 225cc,its worth,Bajaj P-220 stands nowhere, if Yamaha provides the original passion I beleive there should be a high chasis rather than cutting a cost,improve the width of tyres n make a deadly bike….rest all knows the blind faith on Yamaha..
ya dude .. double disks at the front wheel would have been great
