    Brash words like these lead to "X bike v/s Y bike" nonsense. We all understand you are excited but avoid killing time in this fashion....
    Bingo @mac. But I would say better leave that comment and the author alone and continue to be on the topic. The more you tickle it, more attention it'll gain and the author will be successful in what he wanted to do i.e. flame bait posts.

    Rest mods will take care.

        Right said sir, I believe xBhp is more mature than it used to be, still remember those pulsar vs zma, pulsar vs unicorn, 2 stroke vs 4 stroke... all these with slightest provocation.

        Its so different now, when you look at this thread and threads like this, this and this, there are more provocation, but its either well managed, respond and closed, or ignored. This helps in more gyan being shared and lot of learning for people like me

        kudos to everyone.... *clap* *clap* *clap*

          Sorry I think I used the word narrow instead of short, I mean is the seat long enough. Well, my gf wears salwar kameez and sits in the indian style i.e. both legs one side

            Even if you manage to have her sitting indian style...the saree guard(i wonder if you'd want that on an FZ) does not have an footrest extension (refer to the pics in this thread) like those on the likes of bajaj and hero honda. The single pillion footpegs on either side are not feasible enough to place both the feet on...so i reckon that the indian style would not work for anyone. Somehow contrary to the popular female belief of comfort and avoiding certain kind of awkwardness that only they have realized, i feel its unsafe to sit side ways on a bike.

            So i guess if you have more of saree clad or the side way syndrome ladies riding with you ...this might not be the best option for you. Although the saree guard has been the flagship 'technology' to cater to the Indian female masses it feels a bit out of place on the upcoming breed of bikes here.

              how good would this bike be when it comes to performance,would it be like a pulsar150(13.6hp/13.5nm)? Bcoz this has also the same distrbution(14hp/14.2nm).Definitely not as fast as the RTR but a very comfortable city ride...................

                I believe that it should give better and smoothing engine experience than Pulsar in long run.
                Also coz of its give features.. it could prove a better option for touring than Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 200 (when it comes to handeling and cornering in hilly areas).

                            • Just one boring line that I wanted to make.... The FZ is a Unicorn and Pulsar Killer in size and smoothness, but it is not as peppy as the RTR. The RTR is a mean machine but then again the FZ is a calm machine!
