    Fun to ride machine 

    I am a happy owner of Yamaha R15S. Although the race riding position intensifies the fun of the riding, on the flipside, it may be a bit hard on the longer ride, especially for a person like me who is procrastinator and who sometimes suffers from backache. Furthermore, while this sporty suspension setup gives the vehicle superior cornering, it also tends to compromise the ride quality, making bumps just a bit jarring to passengers. Furthermore, the smaller fuel tank size requires meticulous planning before embarking on extended rides to prevent fuel exhaustion in isolated areas.
