Welcome

Questions
1. Do you want a motorcycle to ride & have fun or take people for a ride so that you see them holding for their dear life & have fun at that? If that's the case, then you need find a litre class motorcycles.

Looks are purely subjective. Most people love the busa, but I don't find anything interesting in the looks of busa except the engineering, however, I'm in mad love with Triumph Bonneville that has age old look. So find the one that's most appealing to you.

Depends on your riding style; it is perfecly possible to abuse the vehicle & yield a low mileage. But I've a question, why 35, why not 60 or 25?

Again depends upon the riding style. If you make mistakes when you ride, you're bound to land up the vehicle to A.S.S soon. Learn the art of safe riding by going through this forum, read books such as "Zen & the art of motorcycle maintenance" & you'll be fine.

Sorry to say @dushyant, if my Son were thinking like this, he's never to get even my age old Rx for a ride. From all your questions, it appears you're trying to freak out with a motorcycle rather than enjoy riding it. There're enough number of such people on the road & I would not take responsibility to encourage such people & that's the reason I asked you to go through the forum, understand safe riding. Come back with your REQUIREMENTS or INTEREST rather than owning a yet another commuter on the road.

Last but not the least, when you go to a restaurant, you order for the food that you love & you do not say I've Rs XX & bring me any food within Rs XX that should have so much of spice, so much of chillness.

Can you tell me the difference between around & within one Lakh pls? I'm a little poor in understanding.

Sorry, if my post sound offending; you're welcome to report this post to moderator & delete.

Thanx for your time and concern
i understand your emphasis on safe riding and i myself am very serious on this as i've had a major accident in the past but i think if i am going to invest 1 lakh in a bike then it should atleast give me some performance advantages too.

As of my interests i guess my bike would be mostly used to do daily college trips and weekly long trips ranging from 100-200 kms with a pillion....
and i usually ride sanely so could you give me mileage figures keeping that in mind...

Hope I've added to your confusion.

But @dushyant, if you'd one such experience, then you shouldn't be saying something like the above.

Again, this quite contrary from the above.

I would strongly suggest you to use - http://whatbike.xbhp.com/selector.php for your requirements.

I dont think you get it @aargee
i dont wanna pay 1 lakh and ride a super splendor

You better go ahead with the RTR 180.

Go for Karizma R,its got superb classic looks,give decent mileage,has enough power,and also a very very good tourer.

it seems all u want is your girlfriend sitting at the back should hold u tight, u must be feeling the grunt and power of to thrill and at the same time it should be lighter on pocket..

buddy just kidding... Plz don't mind

i would suggest you to go with a R15 which will be perfect for ur recommendations but as of mileage its a bit low but if you consider a Apache i don't like the because of its tendency to vibe a lot and moreover i think its not as reliable as a R15. you can even try the new ZMR or even a Ninja but i haven't drove them, but as of ZMR the parts are very costly my R15 side fairing costed me 700.00 where as my friends side fairing of his ZMR costed him around 5000.00

Actually Rajit you've guessed spot on, on what i want ;-)
My only concern with r15 is my height(6ft) and touring discomforts

if ur 6ft in height that may be a bit uncomfortable but as of touring its good i have driven it for around 400kms in a single day on ghats with really very bad roads it was good, then my suggestion would be go for a unicorn but its ultra smooth vehicle, what about ZMR?

Murthy

Ya ZMR is my first preference but i am also considering p220 and thats confusing me .....
I haven't got conclusive mileage and maintainence figures to compare them both...
