I have ridden my beast more than 500km also with pilion rider for example from Delhi to Shimla, Delhi To Jaipur, Jodhpur Via Agra, Also Udaipur Ajmer, Delhi To Dehradun, Haridwar Even my highest tour Delhi to Jaisalmer & Delhi to Ahmedabad, so far I didn't find any discomfort but yeah all you have to keep in mind about chain l**e oil it after 500-1000km constant travel for best results also the tyre pressure.

Yes u can go 500 kms around without discomfort by staying 30 minutes for every 100 to 120 Km On average i have a great experience go 1000 Km, height is below 5'9 - 5.5 its preferably otherwise it will be uncomfortable for long ride.

Answer

I have rode ,the beast to kanyakumari .. from mumbai .. the first day was bad but the next day day i rode like nearly 800km woth out any discomfort

Question 4

Q. Which one is better between R15 V3 and RS200?

Answer

Both the R15 and RS200 have their individual advantages. The RS200 has more power and pickup owing to it's larger engine. It also has a more upright seating position compared to the R15 which may be preferable to many riders. The R15 has much better engine refinement, gear shifts and mileage. Although I would never recommend anyone trying to go for reckless speeds in India at least, the R15 has higher top speeds than the RS200. You can choose either bike based on your need. I personally have an R15.

Answer

Rs 200 has a better riding posture for a relax and comfortable ride compared to r15 v3 but ride quality is far better in R15 v3 with low vibrations and the top speed is also higher in V3 ( I have clocked around 157kmph on my bike) Hardware is also better in v3 so if you can adjust with the sportier ergonomics of the r15 v3 then you should definitely go for it. It just goes like a hot knife on butter in the corners !

Answer

I agree RS200 is faster than the R15 but R15 gives you more ride control and confidence . either at low speed or high speed R15 is more under control and user-friendly than the RS200. On highways at speeds over 100kmph you will find the R15 gliding and cornering like a walk in the park , where as in the RS200 you'll experience little less confidence comparetively.so if you want a safe , stylish and sporty bike I would suggest R15 v3 .

Question 5

Q. Will R15 V3 get USD forks in India? If yes, when it may get? Is it right time to buy R15 V3 BSVI now or wait for the USD forks version?

Answer

R15 V3 with USD FORKS in INDIA !!! Are you dreaming with open eyes ??? Hahahahahahahaha.... FORGET IT BOSS !!!I have been waiting for the same for the last 3.5 years and have written to YAMAHA about the same but they respond with their typical ROBOTIC COPY PASTE REPLY that WE HAVE NO IDEA. They behave as if they are working at NASA.L M F A O !!!Bro, listen, YAMAHA will NEVER launch USD FORKS with its R15 series whether it is V2, V3 or V4 (somewhere 15 years later on MARS).You should thank to God that Yamaha gave R15 V3 to India after two years of its actual launch date across the planet.MANDIR me BOONDI KE LADDU CHADHAAO BHAI aur shukr manaao ki YAMAHA NE R15 V3 DE TO DI INDIA ME varna MUJHE TO USKI BHI UMMEED NAHI THI.

SURPRISINGLY, YAMAHA gave the R15 V3s most wanted INDONESIAN VERSION to BANGLADESH but NOT TO INDIA because whenever they think about India, their thinking change. THEY FEEL AS IF WE ARE BEGGARS.AREY BHAI, USD FORKS KITNA MEHENGA HAI BHAI???
