    ZMA.. or ZMR preferably (if your budget permits)

    OVERALL Avenger/RE may not be able to take 3k kms every month as comfortably as a ZMA/ZMR would IMO..

    PS: As someone suggested, why not consider the hot & happenning CBR250 (If no budget constraints)??

      My suggestions

      * Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twinspark/Electra/Bullet/Classic 350 (Good efficiency, minimum 40KMPL, reliable and suitable for long rides coz it can do 1000s of KM in one day, suits your weight, just a bit tricky to maintain because of the rarity)
      * Kari ZMA or ZMR (It's supposed to be a tourer, ZMR for better efficiency)
      * Honda Classic Unicorn (Very reliable, can last till doomsday, decent mileage around 50kmpl, decent performance, mono suspension, Honda)
      Four wheels move a BODY,
      Two wheels move a SOUL...

        ZMA or ZMR over others
        speed thrills but kills if you dont have skills

        A real biker rides with other bikers,
        not against them...

          I never experienced with Karizma. But it is in my final list now.

          The final two in my list are :

          Avenger 220
          Karizma R (not ZMR)

          Considering my weight 97KG and I need to travel 3000 KM per month which one will you suggest from the above two ? I already have few votes in favour of Karizma

            Then why wait brother,go ahead with the Karizma.It has got most reliable engine as well as more refined than Avenger.Long rides will seem a piece of cake with ZMA.

            D.I.Y-Valve clearance setting RTR180
            D.I.Y-RTR180 brake fluid replacing/brake bleeding
            D.I.Y-RTR180 brake pad replacing/cleaning
            Exploded view of Mikuni BS-29 carb

            A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

                  Yes It has very hard suspention. very hard seats. Power is concentrated at high rpm's like R15... what else... Its got racing posture. Not comfortable for long rides or village roads

                    Avenger will be best if want comfort. Its got good power too.

                    Karizma is a sportstourer. A good allrounder. Its more reliable and refined than Avenger. but not as much comfortable. Doesn't mean its not comfy but On Avenger you really feel like sitting on a couch. The only concern with Karizma is spare availability. Check that with local Karizma owners.

                    Best is go out and test ride both. See which bike's feel you like more.
