Everything was going smooth, I was thinking which bike to buy. After all consideration i opted for Hero Honda Karizma.


Hero Honda Karizma

The yellow stallion was going to be my new ride. It had been long since I had something new to ride and I couldn't wait to burn the rubber. But then the rumors of Yamaha had started flowing around. A 22BHP beast with looks of R1.

Rumors come and go and only few of them ever come true. Finally today Yamaha showcased the R15 at the auto-show and officially came on web with it http://www.yamaha-motor-india.com/Auto-Expo08/home.html
. The bike looks great on paper. Technically the bike is a class. The looks, better than anything available right now. But then like a suspense movie they said this:
"In the winter of 2008, a new force strikes in the sports bike world".


Thats cool but which winter? The one in the beginning of the year or the end of the year, as in January- February or November-December. Or is that it would strike and then would let people wait till mid of the year.

Yamaha R15A (right)

Its difficult to wait for it. If one remembers, the Bajaj Pulsar 220 came around a year later after its first video. I hope Yamaha has already done its road tests and is ready to jump in with the bike soon.

Though the bike would be priced something around Rs 1Lakh (1,00,000). But all I can do now is wait for some credible information.
