Hi, Guys.

I was looking for guidance from the members as I am confused about which bike I should buy. I have been riding Yamaha FZS since 2011 its a good bike but I never took it for a tour. I want to start exploring touring options with my new bike. My height is 5.6 and 68 kg and I took a test ride on a few bikes.

I am confused between RE Meteor and Java 42 2.1. I like both the machines. Meteor was so smooth and the power delivery was very responsive to the throttle. Then I rode the Java which was smaller yet it showed a character when I pulled the throttle. I believe I would be more comfortable handling the java due to the lesser weight and size.

My main aim to buy a new bike is touring. I have heard few problems with Java like the stalling issue ground clearance, bad service experience. In my mind, the only problem with Meteor is that is limited capabilities in offroading. I don't want to off-road all the times but in some mountain passes the roads are very bad at that time the hard suspension might give me a problem.

Please help me decide.
