It would be a waste and would add to the price of the bike. The weight does not the affect stability in a significant way. Its quite perfect for the bike's capabilities. And the 'thin' tyres are there for a reason. I think Yamaha is quite aware of the advantages of the tyre and would have given enough time and research into it while engineering a bike like the R15. Rather than talking about the tyres, plastic parts and silly stuff like that, take the bike out on a highway for a spin. You will then truly appreciate this masterpiece of a bike. There is simply none other to match it in India right now. Twin disks are not at all needed on this bike. It would be a waste and would add to the price of the bike.

I have clocked a max of 136 km/hr on my R15,being a heavy (80kg+) rider,while on the same stretch with the new P220 i touched 141 km/hr.The P220 however tends to feel a bit unsafe at the highest revs,n the plastics tend to rattle way too much, the vibrations creep in early too. The R15 is rock steady, throw it hard in the curves n its still planted perfectly, the tyres are THE best! I kno..personally even i hate the looks of the tyre...n i always wanted fatter ones...but for pure ridin thrills dont change them ever! u'll lose drastically on performance as well as cornering stability. The tyres are best just the way they are, if u r a serious rider. Its been a joy to ride ever since day one...n now touching 6000kms plus the engine feels even bettr opened up....its a real treat! The best machine to hone up your true ridin skills, n though a bit steeply priced, its very well worth the money put in. With the Daytona race kit comin soon, this would soon be a perfect trackbike..and a very affordable one too!

ZMA is a gud bike but is outdated now.... so guys if u hav money to spend go 4 yamaha r 15,or elz pulsar 220 is the choice! beleive me,am n member of team XBHP jaipur,n hav been thru lots of articles compairing the 3 bikes..... r 15 is the clear winner.... YES YAMAHA......... i totally agree with vik,i dnt own n r 15,but will be buyin 1 soon!

I like to talk about tyres. of r 15… are there any relation between grip and width of a tyre……
wot kind of grip u alking about.
1) friction ??? not related with the surface area.

2) the angel of gravity cone. YES..
but u cant apply that cone thing to a moving veicle around a bend and calculate ur angle of falling….

as everyone knows the friction of the tyre and road + the speed of the bike makes the stability of it.

different between narrow and wide tyres..

the tyre width should be wider than the crack or track marks of the road, to get ridoff their effect on ur vehicle. if u run on a flawless road the outcome is same.( on stabilty of ur moving bike)
but on off road u should have much wider tyres to get ridoff their effect.
.

the chance of getting fall.

in a running bike its same on a smooth road.
while u braking if ur wheel alingments are bad, the thin tyres cant hold it so they try to fall on other hand a liitle mistake of allignment wider tyre it can handle that problem without any prob.
.

BUT R15 is V . EXPENSIVE . and the brake system is brandless. it consume more fuel coz u ride faster . but it efficent.
more speed more fuel. a global truth.
u can reduce it.

IF U WANNA ROCK UR WORLD ITS YAMAHA MOST SAFEST BIKE I EVER TOUCH.
GOOD LUCK. BUTreduce the price

(a)Thing which i dint like :The R15 bike is good,but the cost factor is very high from other 150cc bike. . Its price should be inbetween90000 on road price. (b)Tyres r quite thin and have no clue whtas gonna happen to the body of the bike when it fells or sumthin which is more likely to happen in our country.I felt that the Rear tyres are very thin and the road grip is not at all GOOD. (c) Its a fuel sucking bike ,the mileage sticks to 30-35kms per litre.its really BAD I have newly bought R15 bike Their no doubt that Yamaha has definitely produced a stunner an UNDER 18 RACING BIKE.And it is not so heavy has bikes like Pulsar and Karizma.The Status and the riding feel u get from this bike is really great and GOOD.
