Take a good hard look at the Karizma...
If the ride position is comfortable for your height, I think its a perfect fit.
TBTS is a machine in a different league, but again it comes with its own set of issues just like any RE.
Also consider the Avenger 200. I have been using the 180, its not very refined just like any other Bajaj bike. The power and acceleration are good but the gearbox is not refined. Spares are cheap and available freely. Reliability is good. Handling is very good if you are a straight line rider, no flicking, no excessive leaning etc. Braking is also good. Overall it feels SOLID on the road, no issues at all. Overall a good cruiser.

My choices
1. Karizma
2. Avenger 180/200

-- TB only if you want to go for a RE.

HTH,
Beo
