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

Avenger is a good bike but I doubt if I would ever be glad to take it to Leh, extremely bad turning radius, though it is comparatively comfortable in respect to other bikes that we have on the road but for Leh...... eh...I doubt.

But it again is my personal opinion.

Cheers.

Shailay: Mate..you must be the first one this year to do Leh...congrats for being Mr. No. 1.

your pics especially at the Baralacha La has left us asking for more, but take some rest and post in your experience once you are free from the other things. I always wanted to do Leh in the last week of May or the 1st week of June, that's the time when the roads are not in good shape, we get to see lots of Snow, less streams, less travellers and Loads of views. Darn this office, makes me earn but wont let me spend where I want to .....!!!

Just a quick question were you able to reach PangongTso?
