      I'm recently purchased an R15V4 it's the best one for mileage and performance compared to other segment bikes, The service and bike condition were perfect and sufficient, the engine condition is so good and the aerodynamic design is so impressive to me. It's the best bike for 155cc compared to other sports bike.
