Looks like a myth again. See this - Avenger (or any Classic Cruiser) is not a bike for bad roads | The Bike Chronicles of India

PS - Prince, pls, can you use the multiquote when replying, its getting difficult when replying to your posts. Tks.

Take a test ride of ZMR and RE TBTS and decide which suits you more.Both are very good tourers.ZMR is more refined where as RE might need more attention.My vote goes to white ZMR

hey bro, read the link first before posting, it does not support what you are saying, it says it is difficult to offroad with avenger. and i think most will agree, otherwise what is the point in companies like BMW having a very succesful touing bike line up that are a cross between street bike and dirt bike.

and ofcourse i had used multiquote.

and please don't use red colors in bold. doesn't look decent.

How about the Yamaha Fazer?!Yamaha website specifically categorizes this as a touring vehicle and considering that it is the conservative twin of the FZ,it must do well in the city.
The 2011 Karizma R looks cool(not-Dated!) and drives better and has a pillion seat that actually seats one!(unlike the Fazer),but fast forwarding to 2014-your friends will probably get the 2014 "Hero Moto" Karizma R and you will be laughing your pants off!(Kiddin'!).It's a full 'Paisa Vasool' vehicle.(IMO)
In the end it's Your money,your choice.

Go for the 220...well within your budget, ample power, decent FE, comfortable and easily available spares. Since you have a budget of 1 lakh, you can invest the remaining in a good helmet and jacket...save the rest of fuel

my vote goes to ZMR as it has what ZMA-R has plus there are more goodies which a touring bike should have..moreover its more refined & reliable then a bull..take a test drive & choose according to your like, you won't go wrong with any of them though..

just avoid R15 if your first preference is touring..these bikes like ZMR are miles ahead in terms of touring..
