I have gone around the Madras Motor Race Track on many occasions now and yet every time I'm at this track, it reminds me of my first outing with the Yamaha YZF-R15 v1. Anyone who has tasted the race track will agree that your first time on the track is almost as special as that first kiss - no matter how good or bad you did. Similarly, the first vehicle is very special too. If you are a kid who's going to choose the supersport riding style as an entry ticket into the wonderful world of motorcycles, then a racetrack and motorcycles like these are probably what you would fancy. Hitting the track may not come easy given the scarcity of such avenues in our country, but thanks to easy financing and better spending power, procuring the R15 or the RC200 is far easier today than it was when I bought my first motorcycle. That should also tell you that my age is now far away from what anyone would consider young, but having made many motorcycle choices over the years I'll hopefully be able to simplify the answer on which of these two motorcycles you should choose and why.
Which one looks better?
