Hi guys I am planning to buy a 4 stroke bike finally. I am a true fan of 2 storkes but I think it is enough for me and time to put my hands on the 4 strokes. My first bike was kb 100 RTZ (Still Have it using occasionally) and currently I have the great Legend RX 135 4speed. Can anyone suggest me a good 4 stroke bike that has to give me the feel of an RX 135 in terms of pickup and sudden rush of the power.Mods I have already visited serveral therads in this section and I am really confused. So I created a thread. Here are some details 1. I am 5.10 and 78kgs. 2. Milage no issues (I am a man with KMPH not KMPL) ![]() 3. The bike will be manily used in city but sometimes for a long ride 4. Important the bike should give me the feel of an RX(Sorry I am still in love with that beast )5. Better handling,control and no vibrations @ high speed. Thx in Advance !!

nothing other than Yamaha YZF R-15 will bring a smile to your face
KB was known for its sweet handling, so is 15 and once you cross 6000rpm, fun starts in dollops and ends at 10.5K, have a test-ride and you shall fall for one

Hey guys thx for the reply. Yes I have heard that R-15 is a good machine. But people say that it has a low end torque. So In order to get the thrill from it I should ride cross 6k rpm everytime right and also I travel more in city than on a highway

Yes bro!! You are so right. On the R15 you need to get above 6k rpm to get the thrill and that is impossible in city. It is a great bike no doubt but doesn't suit your needs(I feel). I say straightaway go for the RTR180. It can surely give you the thrill of a RX135 and handling of a RTZ
.RTR has great low end punch and mid range. It loses at the high end a little bit. It's short wheel base enables you to flick easily through traffic. Another choice worth considering is the P220. It might seem heavy but once you get used to it, no problemo! Take test drive between P220 and RTR and you'll know which is the one for you. My vote for you is the RTR180 .Choose wisely.......
