well…have to say that r15 outclassed zmr in every aspect,whether it is looks or pick up or weight etc.zmr is also good bike but we r comparing it with a 150 cc bike!!and also then it is outclassed by a 150 cc bike.
and by looking at zmr u can say that its make over is done by hero not by honda

It totally depends on the person as to what he needs… I thought over it a lot n ‘ve purchased a black r15 ystrday… If u hv noticed..even ninja 250 has almost the same dimensions..thats aerodynamics!… The tyres gv u excellent handling..a knee on road handling… Zmr is a competetor to p220 segment wise… Although zmr is a sports bike n p220 a commuter..R15 is an absolute racing machine with loads of features taken from its superbikes like R6 n R1… Neverthless..its ur decision..go for a test drive n judge… Its not a daily child play to spend 1,00,000rs.!…
