Hi Krates,
The FZ16 is within your budget. It doesnt have a kick start (like the Pulsar 220 / R15) and shouldnt be a problem until unless the battery is down. It also has a low seat height which is good for you
The Apache RTR again fits ur budget. But it is more inclined towards a sporty rider
The Hunk and the Extreme are good bikes. The Hunk has a slightly lower seat height, again good for you. Plus HH's bikes are generally reliable
The Karizma wont fit your budget, and will be a handful in traffic for you.

If i was you, i would put my money on the FZ. It has a lower fuel economy as compared to the RTR, but it will hardly be a difference of a few hundred bucks per month.

hey skipper thanks for your valuable suggestion

can you tell me about the mileage of FZ and APACHE

i just need mileage above 40

and handling the bike is again important as i am not a very good biker yet..

just used bike(lml freedom) 2-3 times :|

The FZ and Zma are both outta the specified budget man. The FZ retails for roughly 75k OTR in Bangalore. The Zma for 82k OTR.

The Zma might be a wee bit tall for you as well.
For the 65k budget, a 150 from HH, The RTR, The Uni or a Zuki GS150R will be ideal.
A TD of these bikes oughta help in picking one among the list

Cheers..!!

here the FZ is available for 65K even on the T.V commercials they show that

Here as in..?

BTW.. The 65k tag most probably is the ex-showroom price mate

I don't think CBZ-x will suit you... since you are 5'5. Its a pretty tall bike! And the pillion seat is even taller.

Also consider seating comfort and back aches! My CBZ-x gives me back aches on long drives. But not everyone seems to get this... so make doubly sure what you buy suits you.

krates

ok i am thinking about FZ as for now

but can that number plate be removed from it's head to between head and tire ?

how much it will cost to get a better looking headlight for it ?

skipper

Krates : I think the current headlight looks fantastic. Any road side mechanic will remove the front number plate for you.
You can have the registration number stickered on the front mud-guard
