Long time rider researching for a new bike
I'm 6Ft tall lean built.
Requirements - Looks matter, performance as in easily maneuverable (handling should n't be stiff), shouldn't create backache after long rides.
Purpose - To n fro from workplace -traffic is moderate( distance : 10-15kms one way), odd tour trips (highway - once or twice a month covering 100-150 kms), odd trips to city(heavy traffic).
Previously had owned a Pulsar DTSi 150CC - so i don't prefer to go for Pulsar 220f - need a change.
My preferences as of now:
(1) Yamaha - Fz - Good on city roads, I hear it creates backache if you ride 'em for a long time.
(2) Yamaha - Fazer - Touring machine - I'm presently biased towards it, but read it's over priced just because it has fairing and R15 is better value for money than fazer (confused here).
(3) Yamaha - R15 - I LOVE IT - But,
a) Is gear shifting a major headache in traffic?
b) Performance wise this is the perfect machine, but considering i won't do more than 60-75kmph on every day commuting to office and i'm hearing the real pleasure of R15 kicks in after crossing 90Kmph. I havent taken a test ride yet, does it feel like a normal bike during the first 0-60kmph mark?
don't wants - cbr250 (too pricey), hero honda(hunks n karizmas - na just don't like it), rtr 180 (cute n small)
