Review from the r15 guy after 6 months and 10,000 kms

Yes, I am the R15 guy who sold his Honda CB350 in just a month to buy an R15, and this topic became an overnight sensation on this sub. So, here I am after covering 10,000 km, and the first thing I’d like to say is that this machine is a money saver for me. I just fill the tank once or at most twice a week, despite having a lot of commuting, and this saves me a lot of money with a guaranteed mileage of 45 km/l every time. Does it ever feel sluggish? Yes, sometimes, but then I just drop a gear, and I’m good to go. At lower RPMs, the bike feels like a commuter, and at higher RPMs, it transforms into a sports bike. The character is very nimble, and it is pocket-friendly too, as the service costs me only ₹600-700. This is the ultimate money-saver, and it’s so reliable that I don’t even worry about maintenance—no extra care, nothing, just top up the fuel, and I’m good to go. No worries about fuel efficiency, weight, or handling in traffic. No issues regarding comfort either. Yeah, it’s not great for a pillion, but I only ride when I’m alone, so that’s not an issue for me. However, I recently bought a car, and since then, my time on the bike has significantly reduced. But hey, everyone still needs a two-wheeler even when they have a car!
