    Oops.. I would say as you tour a lot, so this time opt for a tourer type bike, that will give you much more comfort, may be Himalayan....

      I am also a proud owner of my Yamaha Fazer v1 which I have done lots of trip (Kolkata-Gurudongmar Lake-Kolkata, Kolkata-Puri-Kolkata). Fazer is comfortable yet parts are cheap and looker of the segment until gixxer launched.
      I prefer you can go with CBR250R ABS.

        Anybody has any experience on attaching HID, which brand to select, do not want to go for cheap Chinese brand.

          Yes CBR250R is an all time fav/proven tourer and is number 1 in the list when it comes to practicality.
          But I feel it is a bit dated now. If investing so much money and intending to keep the bike for about 5 years I would prefer a fresh bike, I guess you would agree , no?

          But lets not go into that debate , I will post in some proper thread probably in "Which/What bike"?

          I just want to say that Fazer v1 has been a beautiful experience (and still is) , I assume v2 would be even better considering that:
          -its FI
          -its got a better pillion seat than what I have (less complains by our female companions)
          -Improved looks

          The only point I don't like in v2 is the rear tyre hugging mudguard.

              V1 Fazer/FZ had issue with spreading mud during rain time into the pillion back, this may be the main reason for bigger mud flap in V2.

                Need a new front tyre

                Hello folks! I'm in the market for a front tyre - fz16 v1. Requirement is mostly city riding, need it to be good value for money. Please suggest some options, and also places that have it in stock. I'm in Pune, checked out one place and they don't have the stock mrf ones, or even the correct sized ones.

                      I find the Michelin pilot tires better in terms of grip on my D200, as they are soft compound and i have done little bit off-roading also on them as compared to the stock MRF's.

                        This is pilot sporty, wrongly mentioned as sirac street. Pilot street available only 110/70 for front and costs 4k plus or minus a couple of hundreds. Sporty is a must avoid tyre, wet grip is terrible. Street is a gem of a tyre.

                          Going by vfm, stock mrf is the best alrounder option. Check with Yamaha dealers. Try Honda dealer for hornet/CBR 150 front tyres. Other budget tyres are terrible when it comes to wet grip.

                            No no sir ji , in the case of online buying its always the other way round. The text is always correct but the image may be wrong.
                            Preference is always given to the name of the item rather than the image accompanying. (sometimes low res or even non-existent )

                              Sirac Street is a button type commuter tyre available in 18 inch only, so title itself is wrong
                              Description and image is of Pilot Sporty only. Full jumbled
