155cc & 155kmph
I experienced two instances, both had the R15 V4 involved.
Incident 1- When I was returning home from some work in the town, I was waiting for the traffic to clear on a crossroad (I riding the RC). AnR15 rider with pillion came revving hard from behind and crossed the busy crossroad at high speed.
At the very next crossing, he hit a creta car, like really hard. And started arguing with car owner. Now, he was speeding because he saw me wearing a helmet on a sports bike.
Incident 2- happened yesterday. Again, while returning home. Was waiting at a signal, another a little chubby R15 guy was trying to make a u-turn at that signal but he stopped as saw me with helmet.
As the signal turned green, he tried to race. I resisted until I approached very last block, which ends in left and right turn. I accelerated hard till redline in 4th gear thinking I'd shake that guy off.
He was left far behind, but as I slowed down to turn left, he went ahead of me by cornering very fast. And at the next crossing, I found him fell on the ground. He had hit an uncle who was riding a moped. And then he started arguing with uncle. His bike got brushed from the side.
So, I'm wondering if R15 is also ruined by the squids. Mind you, both R15 guys were without helmet. And I feel R15 brakes require skill to slow down safely. Both parties damaged their bikes.
*I'm feeling a bad for accelerating in the second Incident. That R15 got hurt bad. I'd like to know more from the R15 owners, how do you control your bikes from high speed. And why do these squids have to race a bigger motorcycle. (I don't race unless it's a closed vicinity).
(I personally love the R15 version 3. I'm a yamaha fanboy, no offense to the R15 owners).
Thanks for reading till here!
