  • Help Me Please!!

    Dear all,
    Please help me choose the right bike.
    My requirements are :
    1) Good riding and smooth engine. Will be mostly in city .
    2) My height is 5'10 and am overweight (87)
    3) Should be comfortable for pillion also.

    I earlier circled on CBZ-X, Then to FZ-16 then to dazzler and then to FZ-16.
    I am reconsidering FZ-16 because will it be too uncomfortable for pillion? I will be buying a bike for the first time and It will probably be my last bike. How does CBZ-X do?

    Thanks,
    Kumar

    Query approved.

    Kumar, you did not mention your budget. Also i would like you to do a little research in the what bike section. all these aspects of your requirements have been extensively discussed on the forum.

        go for FZ if u want to concentrate on the word "smooth"

        if u can afford to miss it in order to get more power and acceleration, then RTR is what u should go for... coz it is a RAW&ROUGH power

          Welcome to the forum
          you didnt mention the purpose of the bike
          whether you'll be using it for long touring
          you love racing or pleasurable riding?

          For pillion i think you should go for the Dazzler- Smooth Bike!
          Or Else Apache's are always there to shake your spine

          Sarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity.

            if you are ok with low FE & don't care about racing much then go for FZ, but new hunk is coming in market as well, & i guess it'll be a better option for you.

                I think Cbz X will be anyday better than FZ as it suits your requirements.Cbz X has got unicorn derived engine which is ultra smooth,got 14.4bhp,FE is also descent && its a HeroHonda so build quality is bullet proof.Pillion comfort is better than FZ.Maintenance is also very less compared to FZ.

                PS:Cbz X also holds great resale value than FZ

                D.I.Y-RTR180 brake pad replacing/cleaning

                A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

                      welcome to the club !! maintenance isnt high.. its a myth trust me. yamaha has the same if not better quality than HH or honda.. fz is the best bike in city. FE depends on the way you drive. pillion comfort is fine as long as its not your mom who is riding with you. with such a awesome machine who would wanna sell it?
                      Regardless, Life shall go on.
