go for the FZ-S or Fazer , upright posture , so called sport posture is not suitable for long rides

i don't think he is asking for long ride comfort although if his back ache persists forward biased riding posture is not suggested

Fz is not great at all on open stretches!
It is extremely hard to push it above 90 and while doing so the FE sucks big time.
Unicorn is still better both for highways and for day to day commuting and it is a breeze to maintain it.
I have seen few Unicorn's with the Classic Pulsar headlights and they look awesome!

If you are ready to spend 85K on the fazer then why not consider a Karizma/P220 at 90K/93K?

WHY not consider, Karizma or P220?

Fz is only awesome in looks.
It's mileage sucks for a 150 cc engine...!
especially petrol prices are increasing month by month..!

Varun i m from tuticorin and have experienced my slice of riding in rural southern tamil nadu; literally no road try a ride on zma your opinion might change the excess torque will be of immense use give it a try

If you are blown away by the Fazer looks and its engine+gearbox refinement , then go for it but do keep in mind that for the same if not less , you could have had
  • Karizma R
  • P220F
  • P220

Each are blistering fast (P220 mainly) but suspension setup is best on the Zma ... It is just VFM when compared to Fazer in above bikes. Test ride all in a day to know what you gain and what you loose . Dont buy everything the Sales rep tells you .

I remember the guy telling me Fazer does 135kmph top speed ( I owned a Zma then , and was looking for a bike for my Bro ) while it struggled to do 100kmph 2-up . Test ride it and then take a call ...

When it comes to pure biking, all these bikes are fun , some more fun then the others, and some more trouble in different areas

Hi Varun278
As you mention here that rod is bad there then for such condition Yamaha Fazer will not be the good option as this bike need lot of maintenance, well for your requirement the best buy will be Apace RTR its power packed bike, need low maintenance and mileage is also good. So go for it.
