Hi friends, here i am in a dilemma, one of my friend needs a bike for two years, he wants a bike which can handle daily commuting of around 100km (city+highway), he is looking for a bike in a budget of around 55k, he wants a comfortable bike, with low maintenance & good fuel efficiency.
I have short-listed few bikes for him you can suggest other bikes according to his requirement, what we are looking at are:
yamaha szx
pulsar 135
tvs sports
honda twister
tvs jive

waiting for your suggestions guys

dual disc 200

Seeing ur 100+ kms for ur daily commuting you should go for something like 220 if your friend has a little extended budget & for spending that extra money, i'm sure he won't regret. Anyways, since u've already short listed ur options, my suggestion would be to go for Yamaha SZX as the bike has a 150 cc engine which makes highway cruising a little easy compared to the other competitors in the list, good mileage (my friend gets something like 50km/litre), disc brakes, reliable engine & a good service network. These would be my justifying points towards Yamaha SZX, let me see what others suggest too.

Yamaha SZ-X would be the bike to go for considering your friend's usage.

The bike is bigger/better both in size as well as power in comparison to others so will be more comfortable for longer rides!!

The SZX doesn't have disc brakes. You may want to go for the SZR.

And yes, going for a higher cc bike would be preferable considering the high daily usage. Since all 150cc bikes generally cost above 60k, SZR seems to be the cheapest and the best option. (I haven't considered the Bajaj Discover 150)

Why not the slingshot from Suzuki. Looks good, decent power n FE, reliable Suzuki engine and im sure would be comfortable.
Otherwise, 100 cc commuters like HH Passion meets comfort and FE requirement.

Do you really think that a 100cc or a 125cc bike is good enough for a daily commute of 100 Kms???

For such long daily usage, 150cc would be more comfortable and reliable.

Centaur

Unicorn (not Dazzler) would be cool too (I have first hand experience - 54k kms in 3 years - 96km daily)

yamaha sz-r or pulsar 135 depending on whether you want more reliability or more mileage
