blackstein · 09-25-2009, 12:42 AM

Hi,

I want to buy a new bike but am confused between a lot of options available. Not into too much biking.

I am looking for a bike with
1.good performance
2.good looks
2.considerable mileage

in the range of 80k-1L...need is for city-biking and rare touring requirements...

thought of Yamaha R15,Fazer,New karizma ZMR( and other 220 version), pulsar, FzS, Fz16 and all....

Cound anybody guide me as to what is the best currently...for I'm a newbie here...

preferrably would like to go for yamaha bikes...but other opinions are also equally welcome

Please help!!!

Thanks In Advance

1.good performance - R-15, P220, RTR180, P180, ZMA, Fazer
2.good looks - All the above
2.considerable mileage - RTR180, P180

in the range of 80k-1L...need is for city-biking and rare touring requirements... - P220, P180, RTR180, Fazer, ZMA R fits your Pocket

Since your Prefer Yamaha Bikes - You can very well for Fazer.......But u will get mileage only in and around 35 - 40 only.......

Since you prefer Yamaha & if you can stretch the budget nothing like the R15. Will help you hone your skills. And get a test ride mate for all the bikes.

Hi welcome, U could zero your decision into R15 as it is a great handler if u just stretch your budget else go for RTR 180

Test ride (or borrow ride) R15 and see if you are comfortable with R15, if yes get R15 w/o second thought (as you like YAMAHA), else you can consider the new ZMR, recently launched by Hero Honda.

if yamaha Get FAZER limited edition or the R15..

But really if you want something different from rest of the others with great power Karizma ZMR is the way to go.. But mileage will be crap

If you are looking for a yamaha bike, go for the r15. It has good performance and looks as well. Mileage will be around 40kmpl.

dude..

IMO.. go for RTR 180, it is best bang for the buck...

Go for R15 with new colors...or Apache RTR 180..
