A good bike in this price segment, and Yamaha is a great company with great bike models. Love the R15, Yamaha, My dream bike is the Yamaha R15. It offers features like dual-channel ABS, VVA technology, good mileage, and premium hardware. It looks like a much more expensive bike, but I love Yamaha because this bike is priced under ₹2.5 lakh.Read More

Very good app, easy to use, and helps find the best one for myself. I wish it would improve more in the future and help us in finding and giving the best scooter. Thanks a lot to this app for so many gifts and rewards. Since if we got to buy a new bike or scooter at a dealer, it costs a lot, but it now helps us to find the best one.Read More
I recently tried hero Xtreme 160r stealth edition for my daily city ride and what stood out immediately was the puncy and low end performance that make stop and go traffic feel effortless, the gear shift are predictible, the bike feel planted and the start and tell feature is surprisingly convenient when you are in rush.Read More
I chose it because it comes with 14 inches big wheel which are excellent at this price. It also has extensive and reliable service network. On top of that, it looks really very good. Mileage is good too. I have ridden it for around 2700 km. There was a slight vibration around 30-40km/h but the service center fixed it for free of cost. I ride it quite aggressively so I think that might happen. Nice experience. Yes, I brought it for 1.05k and in that price, its an excellent machine. It gives good mileage around 40-42km in the city and it should be even better on highway. The 14 inches wheels make ride better.Read More
