honda tiger 200 vs yamaha r15

[michael9558]

any rider can help on this 2 bike interm of fc,top speed,price (first hand ),power.

[sgstyleboy]

Eh firstly, R15 is a sports bike, but tiger is more of a street bike type..

I never ride any of the bike before, but looking at the reviews over here, R15 has better fc, power wise tiger will win. Top speed both bikes are about the same, i think u will be looking more into the acceleration part since sg is a Stop and Go and Stop again situation. Acceleration i wont be able to answer thou =p diff ppl diff hiong-ness

here is an updated version from my personal collection of pics!

Look at the ugly headlights...

[sgstyleboy]

the white R15 is nice, too bad its not available here..

[PolarisX]

Hi there. Firstly the Yamaha R15 is a Sports Bike whereas the Tiger is a Street Bike. Both are Class 2B.

 

Ok, I currently own a Tiger and I can talk about it. Erm, the specs provided by xXxRatedxXx is for the older version of the Tiger. The current new ones available in Singapore are the Tiger Revo (the one i own). The bike is imported from Indonesia, and it is a very popular bike there. The engine cap is 198cc and it is pretty powerful. Pick-up wise is solid, and crusing around at 90-110km/h is very smooth. I think the top speed caps at around 130++ (although I have heard 150km/h is possible on the Tiger, but cant confirm). I have only pushed my bike up to 125km/h and its is smooth at this speed too. The Tiger Revo also has a 6-speed gearbox (instead of the 5 speed on the older version). And yes, the bike sports an asymetric headlights design. Some people think its ugly, but personally I think it is alright and infact somewhat resemble those on the BMW models. The fuel consumption on this bike is excellent too, ~12L gives me about 450km on the roads. I purchased this bike because I was lured by the overall design and because I perfer street bikes over sport bikes, especially the seating posture. Overall I think the Tiger is an excellent 2B bike. Plus it's a Honda, so you can't go wrong with it.

 

I cant say much for the Yamaha R15, although I have test rode a friend's bike. Like I mention before, I dont really fancy the sport bike seating posture. Apart from that, I would say its like any other 2B sport bike, just that it has a newer design.

Very interesting... thx for sharing the latest info... from what i heard from uncles riding it.... its got a huge fuel tank... and 6 gears is very nice. Its about $7000 OTR?

Now the 6-speed gearbox and the fuel consumption is a plus point! How about spare parts?

[PolarisX]

Haha, the eyebrown point is funny. Hmmm, when I bought it last year October, total cost me near $8K (incl insurance). Hmmm, yes people have asked me about the availability of parts, but then I ask them, what kind of parts (be it Honda OEM or aftermarket parts) are you looking for? Because honestly, like I have done some minor changes like changed to aftermarket mirrors, handlebar, etc and all fit well, and no issues here. Summore its a Honda bike, so rest assured the mechanical side of the bike all parts can be easily serviced as parts are available. Maybe if you want to change exterior things like fairing or what, then maybe got challenge cause this bike is still new/rare in Sg...

[darkhorse2009]

I think both are good bikes. You had to ask yourself which looks and which riding positions do you prefer.

i dun think you can be heavier than me.i weight 98kg.

[crazydj]

i dun think you can be heavier than me.i weight 98kg.

 

That's why its good to be tall. People assume i am lighter than i actually am. Man i need to lose weight sia. I want to run but everyday rain. Sian.

 

Anyway, are the Honda tiger's parts interchangeable with other honda bikes like the CG and CBF?
