The Only answer is KARIZMA-R , a Relaxed and Proven Tourer , with Plenty of torque. The Only issues in my view are the Cost of Spares and the Fuel Economy , if you are ok with these issues then you can blindly trust the Reliable Honda engine.

+1^^
KArizma or ZMR could do the job for you & fits your requirements the best. As a owner of FZ, trust me, it is a fantastic machine but it is not as capable of what a karizma can do

Close ur eyes and buy the ZMA-R.. its a wonder dude.. I sold my new P180 and bought a 5 year old ZMa and trust me, I have no regrets. Not one bit.
the bike is awesome for the highways and the city also.
Ride it well and u will get a mileage better than the FZ also.

Karizma mileage is pathetic but it is the best touring machine...

FZ16/S are best city machine...

Get karizma as you are a tourer..

KARIZMA R over FZ-16 anyday.
i doubt anyone here will deny this fact... atleast when you are a tourer.
