Dear All,

I am looking for a bike as a daily office commuter (total distance per day 40kms). My requirements are good mileage and sitting comfort(should not give back pain). Look does not matter. Maint. should be low.
Also, my height is 5 ft 5" so please suggest bike which will suit to me. My budget is max 58k.

Whats your definition of good mileage?

Pulsar 135 and Yamaha SZ-R might be good option for you.

Also check this xBhp.com : What Bike. The price might not be updated here but will give you a basic picture.

Look does not matter. Maint. should be low.

My prefrence for commuting in the order below mentioned and (mileage):-
Yamaha SZ (45-60)
Honda Unicorn (50-60)
Yamaha SS125 (55-65)
Suzuki slingshot (60-65)
Honda shine (55-65)

And if you want something dead cheap then YAMAHA CRUX.

Hi,

Pulsar 135 and Yamaha SZ-R, would be good for you, but as you looks does not matter for you and both these bikes are good comb. of everything mileage+looks+price, if looks does not matter for you you can also check HH Passion, Suzuki sling shot and dazzler, all three will deliver more mileage around 55-65 in city and 65-70 on highways....

Guys thanks for your reply...

Just wanted to know, did you people consider my height ( 5 5") while giving suggestions?

No one has given option of passion pro or honda shine...how are these bikes?

Also, all the above suggested bikes will come in my price range?

Yes, it wont be an issue. I am 5 6" and its easy to ride on SZR.

Honda shine is good till 50 after that it vibrates.
Passion is way underpowered for what is delivers(mileage).
Honda twister you can look at, it has better mileage than passion and crux.

Since your budget is 58k, the following bikes can be considered in no particular order.
1) D150
2) SZ-R
3) D125
4) Twister
5) P135
6) Shine
7) Stunner
8) SS125

If you want a good performance at that price, look no further than the P135. It costs around 60k-64k OTR.
If you are into popular perception that all Bajaj parts are cheap and useless, go for any of the Honda bikes.
I you don't want to wait half the year for a Honda, go for the Yamaha one's.

I am not considering Heromota, for two reasons, I don't see any reason spending in excess of 60k for a 100cc bike, Twister is much better than the Passions/Splendours.
Last checked, Passion Pro with mag wheels costs 62k OTR in Hyderabad.

sitting comfort(should not give back pain)

so p135 is not a very comfortable bike.
shine and sz scores high here on comfort level.
