Hello Guys,
I have had a Karizma now for 2.5 years, so a few days back when my younger brother said he wanted a bike an uncanny smile spread all over my face. The reason was quite simple, karizma though has been great so far never really gave me the mad rush that I wanted, those proverbial moment of hooligan madness. At one point in time I thought I would trade her off with say a 220 but then decided against it. Anyway now that I have the option of getting the best of both the worlds (in terms of reliability and refinement at one side and pure hooliganism on the other) the question comes, which bike?
I have a budget of around 85K ,
The mileage part although not really important does matter a bit and anything above 40 should be good.
I have shortlisted 3 bikes
1)RTR 160(hyper edge) :- kept this one because this undoubtly is the most fun to ride bike in the 150 cc segment .The mileage that I have heard is around 45-50 (correct me if am wrong) so the mileage part is taken care of as well. Now the thing that puts me off are the vibrations, from what I know or have read is that the new hyper edge takes care of it to a great extend .request you guys to tell me if its really less vibey now and how bad it is say post 90 also do comment on the mileage.
2) RTR 180 :- does every thing 160 does but does it way better .mileage what I know is
40-45 (again need your inputs on the same ) at this point in time you could ask me that if RTR 180 can be settled for then what is the 160 doing in the list ,the reason yet again is vibrations. Since I am made to believe that hyper edge takes care of the vibes quite a lot so that why kept it in the list .How vibey is the 180 ?
*I do realize that vibrations are an integral part of apache and to desire an apache with out the vibes is like portraying Pamela Andersons sans the boobies, but my concern is that it should not be unbearable at high speed when we go touring.
3)Pulsar 220
Would buy the bike in Jan so request you all to help me in making my mind. The maintenance part no matter which bike it is ,is not really an issue
Regards
