Im sure you'll find lots of drivers & riders who cut across all of a sudden and on the other hand the riding position is OK for clear roads but not when zipping through traffic i've noticed this during emergency and speed braking situations... when the brakes are applied the bike is not steady and you tend to loose control...

Why you should go for the FZ:
The Fz has got really good ride quality and grip on the roads... you'll need the grip during overtaking, cornering, braking, and steady traffic zipping... the reason being the fat tyres and the suspension!!.. the monocrosss suspension absorbs pot holes and rough terrain very well.. it doesn't bounce about like the pulsar and also on the other hand during long arched bends on gravel filled road you need to have good suspension to be in control of the bike in case someone comes head-on during overtaking or any other situation you can apply the brake and still be on the bike... unlike the pulsar will just slip and may cause injury due to its not very grippy tires and crap suspension... the FZ has good acceleration and pickup you'll definitely have control of the bike during emergency situations and braking.... the riding position is absolutely superb if you can get an FZ-s but the FZ is pretty good too... the shorter wheelbase and wide handle gives you more control of the bike in any situation....
THe FZ is the bike you need especially the looks dont compare it to anything else... its out of the league and im sure it will pass its looks on to you as-well... the R15 has a nice body but that engine and tyres dont go with it does it?the same applies to the
ZMR it looks weird!!!!!
FZ is built perfectly compared to the other Indian bikes, the attachments/parts and body panels dont wiggle about making creepy noises which happens in all other indian bikes you name it.!!! its a good fit and will preserve its looks, quality, paint work and reliability, longer than the other bike!!!

the choice is your buddy.. choose wisely.... Goodluck!!!
