[What Bike]: Help me in Chossing the bike ( List is big ) - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

ketansrihas · 04-21-2009, 06:41 PM

I am in disarray sort of thing. Please help me guys.
I am not able to select the right bike for me. I am thin as you can see in the avatar. Due to this i am unable to select the right bike which suits me.

Here is my list. Please select the right bike. The bike must be reliable in every aspect.
1. R15
2. ZMA
3. 220

I heard that on long rides the ZMA is cosy compared to the R15 is that correct ?? I think ZMA lacks in pick up compared to that of R15. Donno why but i feel that.

coming to mileage around 40 is acceptable as these mean machines give that sort of mileage.

Waiting for your valuable replies.

Regards
ketan

Topic Approved.

You have practically included all the leading names in your list of choices! But, since your main confusion is between the Karizma and R15, I would personally suggest you the Karizma, if you are looking for good touring and smooth engine (not that the R15 is any less!). Or if you are looking for a out an out sports machine (from an Indian perspective, mind you), get the '15!

Have u guys know when there will be make over for ZMA

ZMA looks huge when my size to bike ratio is considered

rakeshkn · 04-21-2009, 07:15 PM

I will recommend you Zma or FZ (not in your list)

If budget is not a problem go for the R15. Else Zma.

If it s R15, u have to change tyres/disc pads earlier than you would do in a Zma.

Also u have to take real care of the chain as it is an open type. Every 250 kms or so, u should clean it and lube it to keep it in good shape.

Also getting used to the riding position takes some time, more so if this is ur first bike.

Coming to mileage, u will get figures around 40 consistent with the R15, the Zma would give u just a tad little lower.

Go ahead for the R15

.......if 220 & ZMA don't suits ur build........
The upcoming Apache RTR 180 Menace would also be a good option.
