This is a byke for style, not for racing this byke is comfortable and looks good(if) You need speed, stylish look, faster 0-100 and a higher too speed then it is the byke for you. The Yamaha R15 is a winner. It is the complete package. It is a product targeted to perfection. You ask it to do city traffic, it will do city traffic. You ask it do track, it will do it. You ask it to tour, it will definitely tour. The last part comes form my personal experience.The engine is a gem on the R15. It performs. It REALLY performs.The R15 in my opinion is a winner as its the most versatile, the most complete, and the most perfect machine ever built. It can do everything you ask of it. Hope this information helps
