I'm thinking of buying yamaha r15 just because of its look. But I'm wondering if it is safe to ride.

There's no way to install leg guard in this bike. What happens if the bike fell while riding? Does it protect the leg without leg guard? Any saftey measure in this bike?

I don't care about the bike being damaged while falling but the important think for me is my leg.

Also what about the safety feature of Karizam ZMR as well?

Any input from you guys?

Karizma ZMR too doesn't look to have the engine/leg guard.

My cousin had a fall with the old model of Karizma and had to shell out a couple of thousand for the big visor, apart for injuries.

Somebody says that the front fairing serves as the leg guard. Do you have any idea, how effective is that?

Is there any online link mentioning this?
Even a minor fall can make a hole in your pocket as even the front fairing will not look the same after the fall, in addition to the injury to the rider.
