So I have told you what my post is not about, now let me tell you what this is about. Its about finding a shape of a bike, finding a design, finding a style of bikes that suit my psysical personality. Why I have this question is because I drove some bikes and I looked laughable on many of them. Here is my experience:
- I like Enfield Bullet (Bullt, as we call it in Punjabi accent) but when I drove it, trust me I looked like a small yellow colored chicken, the child of a hen driving a 350cc horse. Not only my opinion but also of my friends.
- I drove Unicorn, hmm.. look like a man driving a motorcycle but looks more like man who does not even know how to buy a motorcycle that suits him.
- Drove Pulsar 150cc (remember the first model that came out in 2002 ?). My friends say I must not buy this for myself.
- With all of the above 3 I don't feel any sufficient amount of control, it felt like they were driving me instead of this bike belongs to me.
- Drove LML vespa, look great on this one but thats a scooter and I want a motorcycle.
I drove bikes like Splendor, Passion, Yamaha RX135 and Discover but trust me I consider them a time-pass. There is a desire to get on the bike and when you are going towards your bike, you should get thrill that you are going for a ride, it will be great time, when you ride it, you must enjoy it. With these these normal, mass produced bikes you don't feel these feelings, the brain just does not get-in with them, I will better buy a Trek 8500 or Trek F4 . That way money would be well invested.
I like bikes with larger than 200cc engine, they may be designed to drive slow and heavy like Enfield/Avenger or fast and sporty like CB1000R. Though I prefer the slow ones purely for the fun of riding, not to miss any single moment of the ride but I don't care much as it fits on my personality I am 5.7 feet with quite thin physique. I like to wear casuals and sports shoes rather than formals.
What do you advise ? Ask any specific questions and I will be happy to answer.

) for short and thin guys like u n me are TVS Apache RTR series and the Yamaha R15. You can also go the other way around and buy a RE Thunderbird Twin-Spark after 10 months or so, and since you have that much time, go hit the gym. Get some muscle on your limbs. Believe me, my friend did this around 6-7 months back and now-a-days he rides around on his TB-TS with his neat 6 packs!! Now that's dedication for you
