After using my 125 cc bike for 4 years i want to upgrade to a 180cc bike (pulsar or apache).my bike is still good,but its performane is not satisfatory for any trips longer than 100 km.i'm in bangalore,i even thought about buying a scooter seeing this traffic
my requirements:
1.daily city travelling is 30 km (to & fro workplace),need a bike whih doesn't need frequent change in gear
2.good acceleration & high speed stability in speeds 90-100 km/hr occassional highway rides to chennai(my hometown)-300 km & coimbatore
3.rider comfort is primary concern.my wife will not accompany me while touring.
4.vibrations to wrists & legs should be less in speeds 90 - 100 km/hr.
5.i don't worry about resale value & reliabilty.i believe,any bike will work fine if properly maintained.
6.fuel efficiency in city around 40 km/l and in highways 30-35 km/l while ripping would be fine.
7.need tubeless tyres both bikes have that,and my budget is 77000 t0 79000 at max.can't and don't want to stretch my budget than this.
my vital stats:
height : 5 ft 7 inches
weight: 65 kg
age:28
pls suggest me whether to buy Pulsar 180 or Apache RTR 180.
i want to buy bike within 3 weeks.so kindly don't suggest me to wait for any new launch and don't suggest any bike beyond my budget.
