Unhappy Suggest Bike for Tall person like me around 201cm (Approx 6.1")

Hello Frds,

My Self Gagan staying in Delhi, working in Gurgaon .


My daily commuting is around 50KM ( Up and Down). In viewing this I sell out my pulsar 150CC ( have some problem in Engine once it crossed 30,000 km) & brought passion pro


But now i realized that I made a mistake , as far as mileage is concerned i am getting 55Kmpl but now i am suffering from back problem as i am tall & slightly healthier


Please suggest any good bike within 70-80 K rupees in 150 cc segment, which can give me decent mileage also will not become problem for me ( oh!! my back is getting more pain day by day).


What about Suzuki GS and also anything you can suggest me, i would also like to go on touring with my wife.


Thanks.

Go for CBZ extreme is You want to remain in your budget.

BTW why did't You opt for Karizma since You also had one ?

Default Suggestion on bike

Hi Gagan,
Given your budget Pulsar 150 (I know you had one previously) and RTR 160 are good choices but in case you are willing to spend more I will suggest Thunderbird Twin Spark.

I am 6 feet 2 and have had back problems for years . As such buying a cruiser was a must and between the real cruiser and the well look-alike avenger the choice was simple. TB has a decent sitting position (upright) and comes with a decent mileage of of anything between 33-40 Kmpl depending upon your driving style.

Trust this helps. In case you have a strict budget concern stick with Pulsar, CBZ extreme is a nice bike but the mileage is on the lower side and is slighly expensive to maintain.

P.S. :: I commute 40+km every day with a 300-400Km monthly leisure trip around Bangalore.

Abhishek

I have heard that apache is not suitable for tall guys & its vibration makes it difficult to drive long distances..

so you should try Yamaha fazer.great Tourer..as well as a good conformable bike for riding everyday..

I'm 6'4" and I'm have a broad frame , I know how you feel
I searched a lot and finally bought an Xtreme , trust me it was a really good choice It has a decent mileage , I get 45-50 kmpl in the city , I never rev past the 6k rpm mark .

Go for the Karizma R if your able to spend 10k more and be able to compromise on mileage !
