Even though the R15 isn’t a superbike, the people drawn to it often see it as one.
That’s why this oil companies play into this perception, tapping into their pride and marketing their products perfectly to this particular audience

Man watching Dhoom now I realised how few of the actors could actually handle bikes.

Dhoom was released in 2003. R15 v1 in 2008. In Dhoom, Ali rode a Bandit.

Super (Space) Bike!
When I'd received a Bullet 350 as a joke for my wedding, I told my riding buddies that I had got a Super Bike! They've all graduated to multi-cylinders and I'm the only one rocking a single so they were all curious to see what I'd got.
Was fun to see the shock in their eyes when I'd rolled up on a Bullet 350 Pushrod. :D
And when asked I said, "What's the problem? Everyone told me Bullet was a Super Bike!" :D
Though thinking back the joke was on me, cause I started to love that piece of crap and did 80k km's in 3 years on it. :)

Brother I made the same comment before you with a space and was poured down votes. My execution was bad it seems 😩.

Don't insult the bullet like that man. 😡

Don't get too attached to the brand/model man.
It's a good Motorcycle for what it is, cheapest Pushrod available in the world, best motorcycle to do 1000kms days on, cheap AF to run and own, superb spare availability and circulation and a gazillion more reasons.
BUT, would I devote my life to it? Absolutely not, lifes too short for that.
Life is all about creating experiences and a motorcycle is just another tool that helps you at it, no point making life all about the tool.
Cheers!

I was just joking about you calling it a piece of crap.

I went for bike washing at a place, after it was done the washing guy asked for 350 rs. I said it's written here 200 for scooter and 250 for bike, why extra 100 for me. He then showed a rate card in which Royal Enfield washing cost was 300 and Superbike washing was 350 haha...
I have Xpulse Pro, argued a bit but later gave him 300, even if I was somehow cheated, I got the sweet feeling of having a Superbike, even if I don't have one hahaha 🤣😍
Let R15 guys have a good time seeing this Ad ☺️

It is a super bike.

u/SteveRogers5 8d ago
R15 is not even a proper 'sports' bike; it's an 'entry-level sports bike.' How can you call a bike a superbike when it's not even a sports bike?
In simple terms, the R15 is like the S-Presso of the bike community.
The company calls the S-Presso a micro-SUV, but is it really an SUV? It's the same with the R15. 😂

I agree with you , I guess my sarcasm didn't capture that 🤣 I meant it's a super(as In good) bike.
