      Both bikes are from different segment! Pulsar 135 LS is comparatively of lesser height when compared to Yamaha SZX

        FZ seems to be a better buy..

          That's almost my height..!!

          I took the test ride of the SZ a couple of days back. The seat is wide and that makes short legs like ours a bit difficult to put properly on the ground without tip toeing.

          The Pulsar 135LS is comparitively much easier for shorter legs. But the best bike for shorter guys is the Bajaj Avenger.

              lol--does it actually matter since you have been on the p220 for a long time now

              @varunlease test ride each one to decide for yourself.As I know the difficulty being the same height ,I never had a real problem with any bike.

              maybe sbks will be a different story altogether

                  Pulsar 135 can definitely give you a mileage more than 55kmpl. I recently rode about 65kms continuously at around 80km/h and this bike didn't make me slowdown.
