Default Your guidance in selecting my Bike

Hi,

I own a 2 year old RTR 160, I must openly say that i enjoyed each and every bit of it to my fullest satisfaction. It had its share of problems (Vibes, shoddy tires) but never failed to entertain me. Its eagerness to be pushed beyond limits is the best of all. The wring of the throttle brings with it loads of adreline and excitement. and the shift at 8 k rpm..oh...i am stopping here..

But now, i am facing a different situation on hand.I recetly got married and my wife is feels extremly uncomfortable to sit on the rear. Moreover the vibes in very very high in rear foot pegs. She daily keeps abusing and cursing my RTR and i could take this no more.

So i came to a decision. I can either let go of my wife or my RTR. If the do the former, my pillion seat may be empty forever...!!!. Hence, i am planning to do the latter.

My requirements:
Comfortable pillion seats
fairly large bike (u know the RTR was a bit small)
Good touring capabilities
Most important: I cant go back on power (dont make me miss my RTR)

Peak Price point: 1 lac


Please suggest me the bike that suits my requirement.

Thanks in advance

That was a nice one. You can try

1. Zma(best for touring, no issues with the bike)
2. P220(equally good, "fastest indian")
3. Avenger 200(sofa on wheels)
4. Bullet Electra(the classic feel)

These bikes fall in your price range and you will not have to compromise on the power.

@haxor
ROFL...

@praveenz : Zma all the way (I trust the spy pics and speculations about new Zma....hence I would ask you to wait for more time).

Top of the charts, Karizma (good for pillion).
P220 is good, but the pillion seat.

If you can wait then some new bikes are on the way from Honda & HH. Honda may come up with better Unicorn may be upto 200cc. HH has new ZMA on cards.

If you cant wait then I see Pulsar 220 (2009) fits well for your requirement.
