1.Apache RTR 180 , P220, Karizma though karizma wont fetch u that grunt

2. Karizma

3. Looks are subjective dude take ur own pick here

4. All bikes will get u near about same mileage

5. Some spares for ZMA is unjustifiably expensive though u dont need monthly visit for it. No idea abt RTR and P220.

P.s R15 is in six figures

Welcome

Questions
1. Do you want a motorcycle to ride & have fun or take people for a ride so that you see them holding for their dear life & have fun at that? If that's the case, then you need find a litre class motorcycles.

Looks are purely subjective. Most people love the busa, but I don't find anything interesting in the looks of busa except the engineering, however, I'm in mad love with Triumph Bonneville that has age old look. So find the one that's most appealing to you.

Depends on your riding style; it is perfecly possible to abuse the vehicle & yield a low mileage. But I've a question, why 35, why not 60 or 25?

Again depends upon the riding style. If you make mistakes when you ride, you're bound to land up the vehicle to A.S.S soon. Learn the art of safe riding by going through this forum, read books such as "Zen & the art of motorcycle maintenance" & you'll be fine.

Sorry to say @dushyant, if my Son were thinking like this, he's never to get even my age old Rx for a ride. From all your questions, it appears you're trying to freak out with a motorcycle rather than enjoy riding it. There're enough number of such people on the road & I would not take responsibility to encourage such people & that's the reason I asked you to go through the forum, understand safe riding. Come back with your REQUIREMENTS or INTEREST rather than owning a yet another commuter on the road.

Last but not the least, when you go to a restaurant, you order for the food that you love & you do not say I've Rs XX & bring me any food within Rs XX that should have so much of spice, so much of chillness.

Can you tell me the difference between around & within one Lakh pls? I'm a little poor in understanding.

Sorry, if my post sound offending; you're welcome to report this post to moderator & delete.

Thanx for your time and concern
i understand your emphasis on safe riding and i myself am very serious on this as i've had a major accident in the past but i think if i am going to invest 1 lakh in a bike then it should atleast give me some performance advantages too.

As of my interests i guess my bike would be mostly used to do daily college trips and weekly long trips ranging from 100-200 kms with a pillion....
and i usually ride sanely so could you give me mileage figures keeping that in mind...

Hope I've added to your confusion.

But @dushyant, if you'd one such experience, then you shouldn't be saying something like the above.

Again, this quite contrary from the above.

I would strongly suggest you to use - http://whatbike.xbhp.com/selector.php for your requirements.
