Hi,
About Me:

Height: 5ft-8inch

Requirements:

Main use:
City rides, occasional long trip in highways

Bike Style:
anything without large fairings like fazer

CC :
150cc and above

Price Range:
Rs.65000 to 90000 -flexible

Brands preferred:
Yamaha, TVS, Honda

Bike I own currently:
Yamaha Libero LX (2006-)

Its plain and simple bro... there is only 1 bike which can match your priorities and thats the Apache 180 ABS... i would have suggested p200/p220(without fairing)... but since you prefer tvs... just go for the abs boy...

@topic -
Apache180 - best in city condition..won't stand in comparison with other two on highways

Karizma-R - best sports tourer..with ample power for Indian roads..can cruise over 100k's while on a tour..best in comfort among its segment..

P220 - better power delivery in straight line among all mentioned bikes with potent touring capability..

what i can interpret is you need a powerful bike mainly for city purpose. the rtr 180 will suit the best. (good torque, decent flickability) and since you have mentioned a pillion for only 5 kms, coincidently, the rtr's seat is best only for that distance.

if you have touring anywhere in your mind, the p 220f will probably suit you the best. put a Pm to @antz.bin .The zma (old one) is also a good choice. frankly, to chose between these, chose what you think looks better. however, both have fairings.

Ps: what i can feel from your post is that you like the rtr 180. if it is so, just buy it . It can be used for long distance touring

the rtr 180 abs will be a good buy for the great combo of safety and power . its seat height would also be good for you and it is light in weight as well .

Well what made you to suggest him Karizma-R or 220 again this both also have fairings which are bigger than Fazer.

@topic starter- check the new RTR 180 with ABS.
