What you need is a 100cc or 125cc commuter. There is a wide range of options. Bajaj discover-100 and 125(and 150 if you want to consider it also), platina 100 and 125. HH Splendor and Passion are good bikes but not very refined but still proven models. Since you are new to riding why don't you try the TVS Jive. You can get rid of clutch action if you opt this. Pls mention your budget, fuel economy you are expecting and the average distance you will cover in a day.

If your budget is not too small, any of the bullets would be really good.

btw i would never even in my dreams think of fighting you

[road]

budget is not a big issue but to get the right one.40 and above mileage,the more the better. 30 and above km is the distance covered in a single day.

125cc or higher as it needs to carry my weight

tvs jive what is the mileage. as i need to learn a bike with gear, isnt it good to learn one with proper gear.

bullet...straight to 350 cc to start biking?

I suggest you learn to ride a geared bike first taking help from your friends or Xbhp members. Which city are you from? Get to a Offline G2G and take help from members.
Now that you know how to ride non-geared, you can learn geared in 1-2 days... There after, practice is required which you can do on a brand new geared bike that you will purchase.


So, I will suggest you a geared bike only...

Get Yamaha FZ16. Only its mileage is less, around 40, otherwise it matches all your needs.
Or for great mileage, get a Bajaj Discover 150. It also matches most of your needs...
Remember, big weight means brakes should be good too.

Im 6.2ft also but only 65kgs. I recently bought my first geared bike after riding kine for 2 years. I learnt it within a day, its easy once u understand the gears considering your height you can opt for honda unicorn or honda unicorn dazzler or suzuki gs150r all the above bikes have good power and deliver minimum mileage of 45kmpl

Bro, try a GS150R. I am of the same height and nearly 3 digits in weight. It was very comfortable for me to ride it.

thrissur,kerala.
my eyes now on honda cbr250r.howz that bike.pls advice

[sinnerz2000]

i thought u didn't want high cc bikes?

@road
GS150R will suit you, my height is 6.3" and I have a GS150R.Its a very comfortable for tall guys.I learnt riding on it ,it has a gear shift indicator which will be useful for newbies.

If you prefer a stable and strong scooter, I'd say go with the new Activa or the Aviator(your choice).

Talking about bikes, first take any of your friends bike or maybe rent a bike and practice riding on it for a few days. Slowly push to higher cc bikes and you'll get to know which suites you best.

Many bikes like Unicorn(CB) , P220, Karizma R, Suzuki GS .. suits your needs perfectly. Mileage will depend on how you ride the bike; let it be a splendor or a p220, if you keep a sane speed you'll get good mileage on all of these bike models.

The CBR too is a very good option. About mileage and other stuff, please refer the ownership thread. If possible, after learning to ride, make it a point to get all these bikes for a test ride. It'll help you a lot to decide. And one more thing, just go with your heart when it comes to choosing bikes. It's you have to ride the bike after all.

Hope you'll end up with a good choice

CBR 250 is much more powerful and quicker than a bullet
in any case TBTS is a sweet handler and in my opinion with some practice anyone can ride it including a newbie

[road]

dad doesnt like the 250r so its removed from the option. i felt comfortable sitting on karizme zmr

[harishkumarko]

I can say two things. If you are keen on learning first, then get a 150cc and then upgrade after a year or so.

If you want to go for higher capacity bikes straight away go for ZMA-R(Not ZMR). Its a proven vehicle but the only problem for you might be its weight. You might take some time to get used to it. RTR 180 is a light vehicle but am not sure if it'll suit your needs. P220 is an all rounder but again weight is a problem especially when cornering. Take test rides. Half your confusion will be solved.
