In 150 cc its Unicorn
Karizma in little higher range
Bullet in more higher range

Same as above ^

But 150cc for touring might be a bit too less and a Bullet demands that the rider knows a lot of stuff before you dare touring on long solo's . Best choice is the K-ZMA. Really.

Karizma the best

desideep · 09-27-2008, 03:00 AM

ZMA is the best i think, Bullet as Sandeep said is for the one who knows them well

Do I need to say more.....

Karizma is the best for touring.

For, hills.. I guess Bullet is the best option (not from my experience but from what I keep reading in magazines). And for long highway trips, its Karizma (now thats from my experience

)

Yes bullet is good for the hills cause of the long stroke engine. you dont have to change gears frequently you can do Kalka to Shimla in the 3rd gear easy, But again it depends if you know about them where as with the ZMA you dont have to know much about them just fill it shut it ride it.

well, imo r-15 is the best touring machine. the combination of better acceleration, better breaking and better suspension allows it to pull away from 200 or zma by few kilometers within a matter of 20mins.

And all this not on GQ but on a pot hole infested state highway.
another good bike is 220.
