Hi all! My first post here. Firstly I am only just learning to ride a motorbike and planning to get one myself come Diwali. But can't make up my mind on which to buy. Any help is much appreciated.
Budget : 70K
Bikes on my mind : P135, P150, Honda Dazzler
Current favorite : Honda Dazzler
Height : 6ft
Weight : 70 kgs
I plan to use the bike for my daily commute to the office(70 kms total). But I also intend to do a fair bit of touring (500km+ trips) atleast once every month. I already go out occasionally on such trips riding pillion on my friend's bike. I really love touring. So the bike must be able to handle touring duties.
I am yet to see a black Dazzler in flesh, so am not sure about the aesthetics. But I saw one in a golden shade at the Honda showroom and I didn't like the looks. I wonder if it looks better in black.
P150 looks better. P135 even more so. Now only if the P135 was a Honda bike I would have bought it with eyes shut. It is simply the most value for money bike there is. But I am really concerned about the overall quality on Bajaj bikes. Going through the P135 ownership thread, I found there are one too many minor niggles with this bike. This could get really frustrating in the end. Is the performance worth overlooking these issues? Also at almost 6 ft, would this bike look too small for me?
Can anyone make a good case for the P150? Good looks and size are two things already in its favour, but what about quality? Or should I rather stick with a Honda? How is this bike better than the P135?
Any other recommendations are welcome. Thanks in advance
