    I own a 2018 R15 V3 (non-ABS), and I've found that the bike is most comfortable when ridden solo. Like many sport bikes, it requires an aggressive riding posture, and a common mistake people make is relaxing their upper body weight onto the wrists, which can lead to discomfort over time. To avoid this, make sure to use your thighs to grip the bike and take the load off your wrists. I've ridden over 500 km with a pillion, both in the city and on highways, and I’ve noticed that mileage and performance can vary depending on the quality of the fuel. While the difference isn’t huge, it becomes noticeable on longer rides. Under gentle riding with smooth gear shifts, I get between 45-60 km per litre. If ridden aggressively, especially in overdrive, it drops to about 30-35 km per litre. With a pillion, the mileage is naturally lower than the figures above.Pro Tip: For better mileage on highways, try to maintain a more streamlined sitting position. Avoid puffing out your chest, as it increases drag. The figures mentioned are based on the assumption that your engine, tires, and overall bike condition are in good shape.

    I bought the bike in oct 2018, bs4 non abs version, trust me there's no discomfort at all in cities and highways, i used travel around 50kms a day and also did many tours from 300 to 1500kms in single stretch. The key to ride comfortably is how you ride it. You have grip the bike with your thighs and use it to steer too (only after you getting used to this). Never ever put weight on upper body(shoulder, arms, wrists), your upper body should be free.Mileage is around 42-50kmpl in cities.and in highways i never cruised, always used to shift in redline. so i used to get 35-40kmpl
