[What Bike]: Bike for Touring(Ladakh & all other places) as well as city driving - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Hiteshjain6188 · 08-20-2011, 12:35 PM

Hi,
could someone please help me in selecting a new bike.
I'm gonna use it for daily use as well as touring which i just started.
I am also interested in tour to ladakh in near future.
im 5'10 75kg, driving speed 90 max, no racing.
budget is preferably 80-85k max. fuel economy matters.
im currently driving yamaha gladiator, so wouldnt wanna loose handling & smoothness unless i gain some other important thing(fe,acc.,etc.)
also should i go for sports type or cruiser(enfield) type.
Thanks

Go for the ZMA.Its the best touring machine available

Fuel economy will be between 35-40km/ltr!!

P220 too. TD both and get one.

+ for P220 bike is nice and easy to maintain + you will get spares even in places like Leh.

GS150R/CB Unicorn Dazzler???
Better FE's than those mentioned above and can tour well too

Another point is that you can save some money and you can use it to buy good riding gear

I don't know from which city u will be purchasing.

In the cruiser category.
The Bajaj Avenger 220 is Rs.84277 OnRoad here in Mumbai.
As far as the enfield is considered it will be out of your budget.

If your are looking at other bikes like ZMA or P220 then it will be close to 89K OnRoad.

Finally the choice is yours.

It depends on your choice buddy... Which style do you like?

Go for P 220, in case of something sporty. OR Avanger 220 if you prefer a cruiser. Both can be slightly over the budget, but...
