R15s one of the bike
R15s one of the bike with long single seat and it make feel comfortable sofy. And the gear position is the most perfect not too hard not so easy. This model have same engine of r15 all models thats why it is too much powerful better than formal bikes. Always be a sport bike but the exhaust sound like a super bike.
