below 200cc catagory..according to me
GS150R is best tourer
comes with alternate accelerator cable
9A battery
heavy weight
good reflector (wide spread beam, though company headlight is crap)
closed chain cover
final reduction 2.92
better sitting posture for loner riding than any other 150cc
no vibs at high speedsLast edited by *MIHIR*; 09-22-2010, 05:29 PM.

I think there is no doubt about GS150R regarding the touring bike under 200cc. It has speed without vibrations at 100+ and good balance and ergonomics and 6th gear.
I have travelled Mumbai to Hyd in singleday without any issues like back pain and wrist pain.
I would say great bike for tourers below 200cc.

I would say 220 because the breaking, headlights, FE, handling, etc are pretty good for highways, I've done close to 5k kms on the highway in the past 7 months on my 220 and it was not a big deal. It has enough power to run on the higways and keep up with the vehicles around you. saddle is a lil hard but you'll be used to it.
I did 470 kms recently on my 220 with only one stop in between. started at 6.30 am, reached home at 2.30 pm, went to office at 5.00 pm and came back home at 3.30 am. No sleep in between, no stress. It was just another day with most of it on 2 wheels.M800 - 2001 - 5787.Nano 2011 - 5086.Figo 2011 - 518.P220 - 2010 - 5995.CBR 250R - 2011 - 250.sigpic

Quite rare personality owning the two bikes (legend & the contender) !!!Originally posted by yash3 View Posti own both FI 220 and ZMR ! before these two bikes i owned a karizma 2004 !
best is definitely the Karizma series ! even the 220 scores well in touring ! but the karizma series are the Legend of tourers !

very true..though you'll need to do some small mods on a stock karizma to make it "almost" perfect tourer like headlight mod(for night riding), changing rear tyre & all..Originally posted by yash3 View Posti own both FI 220 and ZMR ! before these two bikes i owned a karizma 2004 !
best is definitely the Karizma series ! even the 220 scores well in touring ! but the karizma series are the Legend of tourers !
