So can someone tell me which bike would suit this trip. i personally love the FZ bt i wish it were a lil more powerful. it suits my height (5'6) well & i love the comfort. other option is a used R-15. BTW how wud FZ fare for this trip. will it serve the purpose well ? is there any other bike that suits my specific rqrement i.e touring
How about the Avenger. Its got a modified Pulsar engine. Lots of people have done Leh on the Avy. The handling and stability is pretty good and its a joy to ride. The bike has its own issues and primarily has to agree with you.
Consider it if you are running out of options.

HTH,
Beo
