Answers:

An air cooled engine has fins to increase the exposed area for better cooling, wheras an oil cooled engine (actually to be called as fluid cooled engine) has an hollow cavity / packet where coolant is circulated & its passed through a heat radiator.

Such engines run coller & efficiently without getting overheated or burning the clutch plates.. Its an advanced engine like a sports bike.

Yamaha R15 HAS fuel injection (like MPFI cars) which will result in better burning & utilization of fuel, also better performance,, the bike also has rear disc brake, best suspension, sporty styling etc etc etc.... thus making a reasonably priced performance bike... it gives mileage ranging 35 - 45 kmpl. (depending on ones riding style).

I have less knowledge on RX135 & RX100, so i prefer not to say anything.

Expert`s comment:

Hi,
In air cooled Engines cooling takes place as air passes through fins over the engine.The efficency of air cooling is comparitively less for its design, non uniform distribution of air over etc.Its suitable for smal power 2 wheelers.As power of engine increases the heat transmitte to the engine and its parts increases hence for faster and uniform cooling oil circulation cooling will be usefull (as in cars).There is no specific mileage at which sparkplug needs to be replaced. As a general rule a spark plug can lost up to 25k KM.
