Good performance
Good mileage and safety was very very good and no need to discuss about the speed it was really an good experience to me. The speed war near lt was on the roads highways the speed goes high we can drive on the streets the mileage goes low and when we go to the highway then the mileage increases and it is useful.

I have owned many yamaha
I have owned many yamaha bikes , and all the time I am surprised by how the bike provides such a nice structure as well as maintain speed up to its name it's almost unbearable to know that people switch from sports to cruiser, I have had my accidents in my entirety of life of 35 years but it still hasn't been able to shake off my feeling for this fast and adventurous bike .

Sporty economical machine
Poor buying experience in showroom but the bike is simply awsome u don't even regret a single time and it's a best overall performance bike with a complete package. Looks was amazing and it attracts eyes of many and cops too and the riding posture may cause some back pain for someone's other wise r15v3 is a tremendous machine which is the best sporty economical machine till today.

My Opinion on hero Xtreme 160r
Speed and look are awesome. And handling are outstanding. By the way. It's value for money. Iam saying like this because iam using this bike from 1 year and it's still giving me it's best. But theres only speed limit of 120. One thing I like the most are it's headlight it's so bright and clear you can see properly in the night and dark areas
