    What i felt is

    Sitting position is relaxed so you won't get much strain while riding.

    I took my bike for chamundi hills Mysore. It was fun to ride
    The reason why I am asking : I am 6'2" and my pillion is 5'10". We have been riding around on Thunderbird 350. But RE bikes have serious reliability issues.

    So, looking for something which is reliable and comfortable for two up touring.

        I am 6'2" tall & I can relate to you. I too would say Thunderbird would be most comfortable bike available for tall riders in India under 3 lakh rupees. But since it is not reliability oriented/modern. In my opinion,

        Please consider Mahindra Mojo. Ticks all boxes, very comfortable with forward set footrests. Tall seats, Tall handlebar. If living in a metro city, spares & service are available & affordable. Proven to be reliable. Quality machine. One drawback for you would be: Pillion seat is small! & Mojo has no ABS. Braking is peculiar with very sharp rear discs. (thanks to dual piston rear caliper)

        Also consider Dominar, it has the safety net of ABS + VFM product, great power delivery, cruising speed, fair enough comfort.
        Drawbacks: Small 13L fuel tank, Comfort is so-so, footrests are rear-set & placed a bit higher. Legs will feel it when on long rides. You can 'feel' the KTM motor below you, though it is much calmer & smoother than the Duke/RC's, The engine still feels coarse/rough when compared to Japanese brands.

        FZ25 offers better comfort & quality than Dominar. Refined, Reliable machine. But power definitely feels less once you drive Mojo or Dominar.

        You can also consider NS200, which luckily feels comfortable for a tall rider. Good comfort, VFM product, good power & fuel efficient.
        Cons: You will feel the lack of low end torque. This machine is top-end power oriented, always eager to rev higher.

          Fz25 power delivery is good compared to mojo.
          Dominar may be good in power delivery but not good in terms of quality.

            have you ridden both mojo and fz? fz timings are definitely faster than mojo. maybe mojo feels faster like royal enfield that feels faster cause all voilence it creates while moving forward. you would feel its doing 150 kmph but when you look down you realise its 80 kmph

            best thing i like about mojo is size and build. its huuuge. also all parts that are used are dripping with quality. as if only best finished parts were chosen. rest were rejected.

            i dont like ergo on mojo. feels boring. no connection between rider and bike. you have to wrestle it around. no telepathic handling at all.

              Mojo is a no-go when comes to traffic of NCR.

                    Re: Yamaha FZ 25 Owners Reviews and Experiences

                    hi guys got my bike few weeks back and have been riding it daily since.
                    I had a R3 before this and a benelli tnt 300 before that.
                    This bike is smooth at lower rpms, yes there is lack of power if you compare it with 300 cc bikes, but the bike is very light and zippy
                    The engine used here is a yamaha xt250 engine, the bike has been arround for decades. only thing added is a oil cooler for indian conditions.
                    The accleration is much better than some of the 300cc bikes which i do not want to mention as i can see a lot of heat in the fz25 forum already.
                    I havent gone past 120 yet but till that its really good.
                    No heating problem till now in bumper to bumper mumbai traffic.
                    brakes are not great, but do the job,
                    Headlights are not good at all plus the unit shakes a lot. need to fix that.


                    wishlist after 6 months - akrapovich gp full system, or something equivalent, motul 300v, an aftermarket ecu, after market air filter.
                    As I gaze upon your beauty, I think to myself, "never have I seen an angel fly so low".

                            It's turning out to be a task, keeping the revs under 5k during break in period.

                            I ride about 25kms on the highway every weekday and it's quite a challenge to maintain different rev ranges on an open stretch of road.

                            The engine isn't sombre and is rev happy for a normal ride or commute and most definitely I haven't been any where near redlining it.

                            It touches 60 quite easily and yet to push it past 70 due to break in rev ranges.

                            If upgrading from a 1Lakh 150cc Japanese bike, this definitely feels a lot more zippy and yet stays very nimble in traffic too.

                              Increase load on engine little bit more day by day. Just for a second rev it to around 5-6k rpm and slow down.

                                What rev range are you varying it in?
                                I remember reading somewhere that if you don't vary the RPM range, it causes uneven wear on the piston. I forget the exact term. Is this true?
