I was new to biking 1 yr 2 months before.I learned on a passion for 2 days 1 hr each day. And I bought fz just 5 days after that.The moment i started riding it I thought it is just custom build for a learner who never touched a bike.Speed handling reliability everything is there.If mileage is not a big concern this is the best 150cc you can buy according to me.

hey man you wont be a beginner for your whole lifetime
driving bikes are easy and hence youll learn it within a month or 2 ...
and after learning you will feel the requirement of power ....(mainly you'll feel this if u get a stunner or slingshot ) ............ better get the best in class and power ... i get it , its hard to learn in a powerful bike but if you get perfect you can drive any of your friends bike man ...

If u afford to spend 80-90 K on ur first ride u have 2 options :
1) buy a 2nd hand bike or one of ur frnds/relatives to get urself accustomed for bikes. Jumping directly into heavier/powerfull bike wont be okay i guess. so have an exp of at least 7-10 days of bike riding and then go for a ur first ride may be FZ/hunk/Apache whatever u want.

2)Just buy yourself the best possible bikes according to your needs (looks/specs/weight/reviews etc) and learn it with utmost care. Be carefull for first 1000 kms or so coz thats the period which will be most crucial for ur new ride.
I would suggest option 1 based on my personal exp. Ultimately you have to buy a new bike,sooner or later, make sure its according to ur needs and once you buy it,u care most of it. Thats it... Over and out!!

You should probably consider P135LS/Apache 160.. these are the bikes you can enjoy as a college student, FZ is just ok kind of bike in my opinion though it's good for learners. It doesn't offer anything out of ordinary. Coming to the learning part, I know few friends who learned riding on their first bike and that was P180. If you ask me, learning is easy on bigger bikes, as it's really hard to unsettle them and even their controls are pretty good & forgiving for a learner. Even though your budget is around 90k, I would suggest you go for a P135LS or Apache 160 keeping fuel bills in mind, after all you are still in college, so fuel price increase is going to put some burden on your pocket money. By the way P135LS/Apache 160 are equally good for learners, they are light & sharp.

Cool hi

hi prasanna i own hunk and my bro own stunner i had ride stunner for 400km in a day but i don't like it because it very light for highway bodybalance is not good its ok for city if you want ride for long way u take heavy ride and powerful engine like hunk,fz,pulser 150 ,RTR160
if u want light bike for city pulser135 is best
compare all the bike on bikedheko.com for top speed,weight,height,power,fuel eco.
buy best bike that suit you. you will learn bike in few days but u have to ride it for long

Default Go for neither Suzuki Slingshot or Honda CB Twister

Among these four bikes I would suggest only HONDA CBF STUNNER & Suzuki Slingshot as a begineerer bikes.FZ & HUNK are powerfull bikes so its better to take these as second bikes unless if u are an expect rider.As you must know Stunner has serveral engine complaints,it vibrates badly after 60km/hr,spare parts are almost impossible to get.
I think you should also checkout Honda CB Twister,its great for a begining bike,small,light-weight & good performance offering good value for money.
Another good bike I suggest is Suzuki Slingshot,the bike is styled well not like Twister using only fibre,instead more metal is used as Suzuki is best in build quality & engine refinement.This bike has good performance,great for daily use,very smooth engine & comfortable seating,servicing & spare parts avaiability is good,just test drive this bike & you will understand the quality ride.
So go for neither Honda CB Twister or Suzuki Slingshot,i'm suggesting you the best bikes for a begineer biker.
