          Talking of RVMs: Evoque has three and GS has two in stock conditions and talking of six gears- few people know that there are six gears on GS and Evoque.........for the most- people do not know at all what vehicles are these two and neither my GS150R passes for another 150cc bike like Pulsar nor the Evoque passes for another SUV like Scorpio..........Thats a kind of presence both of these vehicles have and it is not due to RVMs and number of gears.

          1) Above 5"10 height
          2) Who like Commu-touring
          3) Who wants a Big Bike feel
          4) Who want a 150cc bike with a better fuel efficiency
          5) Who want to cruise effortlessly and eat out other 150cc's(R15 is an exception) while doing this....
          Well I do not have all these qualities unfortunately
          1.Height- 5ft 3 inches
          2.Likes Power riding.
          3.I want Boeing 747 feel
          4.I want a bike whose main concern wont be mileage but would love this bonus anyway.
          5.Cruise at top speed making bigger bikes feel the need of RVMs and smaller bikes vanish in my own RVMs.

          And it is the same GS150R for me too...........customized by me for my tastes
          But I know-GS150R is exactly the bike for me, the perfect all-rounder.

          • I want Boeing 747 feel

            I am 6ft 1 inch tall and find the shoe shape seat quite cramped. I want to increase the drivers seat height to the pillion height [or slightly less] so that my legs can stretch a little more. Could you please let me know where I can get it done. It must also be done well and the seat shouldn't look ugly nor sag after 6 months. [ from Bengaluru ]

            Thanks in advance

              Go to JC road. There are lots of shops that will cater your needs. And if you feel that the shape of the seat looks awkward, go for a multi-coloured seat cover to mask the look. Get it filled with high density foam.

                Oh thats not good.
                Do you ride at high speeds always?
                Also If I remember correctly you used to service your bike @Apple auto banashankari right?
                How satisfied are you with that SVC.

                    This Bike performs significantly better than rivals like apache and unicorn when pulling such loads. It can carry such loads for long distances without going out of breath.

                      The servicing at Apple auto is pretty good. No non sense from them.

                          You are wrong GS never strugles like a normal bike when it comes to handling more weight.

                          I used to travel with wife + kid total of 155 kg all it goes well even zip zap thru traffic is easy all it depends up on how the driver handles

                          GS has XTP just google and let us know what is XTP, and how it helps when it comes to handling more weight.

                              In my experience GS has no problem in pulling with a heavy pillion and a rider,its doing it frequently with me and my friend both 90kgs
