I am a proud owner of R15M and Trust me this bike won't be disappointing you in the streets of your city neither on the highways.The cons I find with this are the pillion seat and the mirror view. I hope Powerdrift team is gonna find the mirror issue while riding it within the city. More Power to you guys for putting out every single aspects of MotorWorld. Thank you @PowerDrift

One thing which I particularly like about Powerdrift is that off late they are trying to educate their viewers which helps them make decisions within their own perspective and needcase, and not just give them a read of the specsheet about the bikes they ride. This definitely adds a sense of maturity to the viewers and they see something beyond the specsheets. Good job guys.

[@yadavJi-fr9em]

Traction control of my r15v4 has helped me when i was riding and suddenly one sand path come in my way and bike adjusted the speed very nicely. One thing to be noted that this is my first bike so traction control can help noobs too.

[@rajatchaudhary6267]

Yadav ji the reason you actually were terrified in the first place was not the sudden sand ( if there was any 😆😆) it's the committed seating position of your bike which actually jams your wrist , neck and sudden hand moments to maneuver the bike in the first place.... Secondly Traction control is a sensor based trip tech which often gets confused in muddy , rocky n slippery surfaces... I. E it's a jargon to fill the spec sheet because the standard TC on R15 is not that sophisticated which makes it faulty.... Thirdly very poor choice for a First bike.....

@@cranky1812 i don't think the 390 can ever make 60 bhp without serious engine modding like a bigger bore and changing the piston all together. Not to forget how high compression it already is.

[@cranky1812]

@@thehungking you don't need bigger bore, you have complete engine performance parts available like high compression gasket kit, high lift camshaft, titanium valve retainers, bigger injector, bigger airbox, racing header, forged h beam connecting rod, heavier valves, wideband O2 sensor and complete standalone ECU's which makes the engine rev upto 12,000 rpm easily.

If they increase the CC of this bike... it wouldn't be called as R15 anymore...! Keep that in mind! R15 stands for 150 or 155! For e.g, if they increase the CC to 200 or 160 or 180 etc... it'll be called as R2 or R16 or R18 according to which CC they increased! Note :- It's just a guess from my perspective and this is not an official data or so...!

[@powerdriftofficial]

Any vehicle last for a lifetime, provided it's been taken care of well. Coming to those two, equally good motorcycles. With the Gixxer you get the bigger engine, rather comfortable ride. With the R15 you have this eager corner carver that will leave you smiling every time you do it right. That said, both motorcycles can be used for the daily grind as well as the weekend rides. It's just a matter of finding your comfort levels. And in the end it's your money that's on the line, so go test ride both of them - as much as you like. Then decide which one should be in your garage.
