The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Gets the kit the R15 V4 does not list: an R1-inspired colour TFT meter with turn-by-turn navigation and music control.
  • Quickshifter (up-shift), traction control and an assist and slipper clutch all come as standard.
  • Serious hardware for a 155: USD fork, aluminium swingarm, 140 mm radial rear tyre and dual-channel ABS.

Worth knowing

  • Same 18.4 PS engine and 141 kg kerb weight as the R15 V4, so the extra money buys features and finish, not pace.
  • The quickshifter works on up-shifts only.
  • Just two colour choices, and the Carbon Edition costs about Rs 10,000 more.
