    You can also try the NS160. It is the 2nd most powerful in the segment. It had excellent reviews at the time of its release especially for its performance and handling.

    Its only negatives at the time of release were the skinny tyres, small front disc and the lack of rear disc brake. Now, with the recent update, all these issues have been sorted out

      Apache 160, gixxer, FZ v2.0 all these for the same budget. But if you want to go in 200cc segment and price not being an issue, go for apache 200 instead.

        Also, if OP test rides his choices and still likes the Xtreme 200R, he should buy it.

        Some forum members have it, OP can get in touch with them for feedback. There's this fellow xBhpian who was asking for off-road tires for his Xtreme 200R who is taking it to Himalayas for touring. One can find his post in tyre section.

            Less sexy than a full fairing that looks like a Moto GP replica. Engine is the same, I wish they had a SF version with 250cc engine, that'd justify the looks.

            You can also try Pulsar NS160, Pulsar 180, Unicorn 160 - always test ride bikes before closing in on something. Sometimes things make sense on paper but suck in real life.
