Default Mantainance Free Bike >=150CC

Hello xBHP'ians ,
My Cousin is about to get a new bike , its his first bike , He's totally zero with technical stuff , so wants a maintainance free bike. I Suggested him P150 ,Hunk and CBZ-X , but he feels that those are sluggish ay higher speeds.
-He wants a Minimum of 45-50 Kmpl.
-The Reliability is also an issue.
-Looks would be Added advantage
-Budget around 80-85k
He's around 6 feet and around 75-80kgs.

So Please ,suggest him some a bike.

@ Aryan Bhai:- Thanks for the Approval.

@ Yaser:- I Suggested him the same but, Brother its the Matter of Reliability as he wants to keep it for a minimum of 4-5 years and FE and not to Mention about the Budget 85k Max. I'm not able to figure out any other Bike .
If Karizma , FE and Spares cost.
If P220 , FE and Realibility.and also it needs lots of care and maintainance , which he doesn't want
Even i wasn't this confused when i chose my bike( Read its my first one)

In terms of reliability and performance satisfaction, Nothing beats
"Honda Unicorn". or Have a look at GSX150R too good to be owned.

Well, there is nothing like maintenance free bike as far as Indian conditions are concerned! AFAIK, less maintenance bikes might be Unicorn, Yamaha gladiator, CBZ Xtreme...but totally MF bike..never existed nor will do!

the unicorn and GS150R are good options. but they will need a service every 3000 kms too. He has to make up his mind to give attention to his bike on a regular basis, otherwise any reliable bike will also give trouble if not maintained properly. So going for a mindset of minimum hassles, maximum performance, you will have break downs.

The HH/Honda/ZUKI family will require lesser attention and will last better, but that does not mean that you can skimp on the service or maintenance.

Honda Unicorn it is!! Though a little bit old fashioned but can be moded if he wants to. Unicorn is a gem...monocross suspension and Honda's Reliable Refined Engine. He can also try RTR. Apache RTR180 can be a pocket rocket, many of the owners of RTR180 are 6 feet too.

Tuning a ZMA for more mileage will waste the money that you will spend, as ZMA is a different kind of machine. Instead, buy a 150cc mill.
