Since many of you suggested me to go for a geared vehicle, i have shortlisted the apache rtr160,rtr fi,and the yamaha Fz16(any other suggestons would not be unwelcome)..
Requirements are:
1. cost <75k..
2. power doesn't matter(im not a stunter nor am i a avid rider!)
3. durability..(since im bound to harm the engine and transmission with my riding)
4. handling and drivability(im from blore and the traffic is crazy..)
5. comfortable ride..
6. mileage is a factor..
7. looks are definitely a factor too..
8. low maintainence
9. not much of a tourer, city riding mainly..
My downsides are:
1.Im a rookie at driving geared vehicles..(learned to ride 1 some 15 days ago!)
2.i weigh 47 kgs and around 5'5 in height..(skinny!!)
3.daily commute is only around 10 kms..
4.I absolutely dont know how to treat a bike!!
5.Fz probably looks macho for my personality..
6.I cant differentiate 2 bikes by test riding them..(i'd be concentrating more on the road rather than the bike cos im a rookie..) I test drove the Fz tho and felt it was good..I even felt the old kawasaki i learnt to ride on was good too
And another question in my mind is about the fi egines..are they better than the carb ones and are the local mechanics capable of servicing a fi engine??
