3. The all-new aluminium swingarm mimics mainstream supersport design and is the only one of its kind on an Indian motorcycle. And yes, it looks very cool! So does the new five spoke design for the wheels. However, that rear tyre hugger/saree guard assembly is just begging to be ripped right off the motorcycle.

4. Other changes to the aesthetics include a restyled exhaust, restyled side fairing and a darker fairing visor - nice little touches, all of them.

@Victor --- Wow, what an eye opening comment you gave there. And god forbids your mother or sister gets injured (wearing a saree), I am sure you will ask them to change to Denim and tees before taking them to a doc on this bike or they will loose their self respect. Guard is there for a purpose and if you don't like it, just remove it. Yamaha or indian gov is not charging you additional 1lac for the saree guard. Anyways, it's a beautiful bike even with the saree guard.

Good to see Yamaha sticking to it's racing instinct tag. I've always loved the R15 and the new version I love it even more. For those looking at a practical Yam, there is always the SZ series.

The Pillion seat should be big like Suzuki GS 150R. I thought of taking FZ or fazer, but my family denied as the back seat is too small and uncomfortable for the people sitting back. Will Yamaha look at this and rectify it...

the specs seems to be awesome. this 150cc bike should have been given 120 section tire instead of 130, a quick throttle will do its work better on this, the riders footrest arms should have been adjustable & even the gear pedal lever should have been adjustable to match everyone's riding position according to their height

I think it needs MORE POWER! :)

Nice to see that BSM has finally brought up the absurdity of a saree guard on modern bikes. Just shows how our obstinate bureaucracy is still stuck in a time warp. Can you imagine anyone who rides a bike like this taking a saree-clad woman on the pillion? I mean, look at that rear seat. Would any self-respecting woman want to sit astride that wearing a saree?! But I guess it's a law just so that law enforcers can make some money off the so-called offenders when they discard it.
