suzuki GS150R is not available here as there is no dealer/service center in lucknow, so for service he have to go to kanpur (100kms approx).

Hello sir , I am new to this website , I am nitn from lucknow, I am 23 years old , 5'6, 69 kg preparing for mba exams. So after riding lml nv for almost 4 years , I convinced my dad to get a bike for me this Diwali .

So in bike I want these things

1.)Mileage of 40 - 45 - 50 - 55- 60 is Ok for me.

2.) Tubeless tyres in front and rear. Since my dad said bikes doesn't carry extra tyre , so if it got puncture that I have to pull it like hell. So tubless tyres should be must.

3.)Modern/sporty look. obviously all bikes of today have got this. so nothing to worry about here.

4.) I am not racing freak.However I do ride fast sometimes with scooter.

Below are bikes which I have shortlisted--->

1.) RTR 160 FI / RTR 180 ABS

(Tell me if there is any difference between RTR 160 and RTR 160 FI)

2.) CBZ xtreme

3.)Pulsar 135/180/150 .I am not interested in Pulsars , since it has become very common nowadays.

4.) Bajaj Discover 150.

One important question is about disc brakes.
I am bit feared of having disc brakes in rear . Because people told me for rear tyre Drum brakes are ok. Disc brakes are bit dangerous for rear.
Is this true??

Also tell me about having a bike with tubeless tyre and with general alloy ones.

Guys please give your views....This Diwali I want something !! I am tired of that old lml nv scooter lol

Thanks
Nitin

sir i heard that RTRs comes with vibration ?? whats up with that?? any big issue?

Ok Nitin, RTR 180 or Pulsar 180, as these have Tubeless in both front as well as real. You may go for RTR 160 (Double Disk also).
I just bought P180, and believe me, it is Rocking. Milage of around 44kmpl and great comfort and control. But as you are 5.6', go for RTR160 Double Disc.

also tell me price of Yamaha FZ and FZ S . Is there any major difference between the two?

how about yamaha FZ S / FZ 16 at 5'6 ?
my friend has FZ 16.

FZ-16/S is a very sweet bike, great handling, great power, well balanced and nice looks. rode her sometimes back of a friend's friend, loved her a lot after riding @ 91-95kmph on lohiya marg from CM residence to MD with slightly dense traffic and in the end my reaction was "oh man!!!! what a great machine" even aashish (XBHP id- smoker n doper) loved the way she behaved. superb machine for city commuting and occasional highway run. get her dont think twice.
apart from looks there is no difference in FZ-16 and S versions.
If your friend has one then test ride her asap.

CB Unicorn Dazzler is one bike which will suit your needs.

1. It has got good looks.
   

After my friends request to add Yamaha in list, I had to reconsider again.

So list goes again -->

Max. budget - 65,000 - 75,000 INR.

Desired cc - 150 - 160 - 180 cc

Desired Mileage - 40 -45- 50-55 kmpl

#1 preference to Yamaha - FZ , FZ S(http://www.yamaha-motor-india.com/pr...mg/col-red.jpg) , SZ R(http://www.yamaha-motor-india.com/pr...g/blue-big.jpg)
(looks like uncle type)

how about Yamaha FZ and SZ R ?? my friends just told me about those bikes today !!

Any info. about these bikes sir?

also tell me price of Yamaha FZ and FZ S . Is there any major difference between the two?

As one of the xBhpian's signature sasy : " Don't research too much before buying"
take a test drive of your toplisted bikes if possible,and go for the one which ur heart says.
Remember YOU DON'T CHOOSE UR RIDE, UR RIDE CHOOSES U!!!

are you sure ??

Yamaha FZ suits all your requirements dude.. Good looks, quality product, Mileage of 40 (if you ride sanely), best handling in 150 cc IMO (in city traffic), At about 76 k on road, its in your budget.



Just got a SZ-R for a friend.. Its basically a detuned FZ engine with commuterish bike looks & easy on pocket (with 65 k on-road & mileage of about 50 km/l) Handling & power not as good as FZ obviously. Old analog meters would bother you too i guess.




Nope. No difference at all in performance of FZ & FZ-S.. Just a minor difference in visual department with a small front cowl over headlight of FZ-S whic shall cost you 2-3 k more..
IMO, not worth it.. Go for FZ16 instead of FZ-s.. You can always get that cowl later on if you want it.



Perfect.. Ride all the bikes in your list once.. I did the same when i wanted to buy.. Tested Honda Unicorn, Honda Stunner, Bajaj 150/220, Suzuki GS150, Apache 160 but finally FZ16 took over my heart in all aspects & hence i overlooked my concern for mileage & booked it..

Good Luck



lol.. A reasonably good question there

thank you for your great insight sir .

Will book FZ 16 for sure..... Yes YAMAHA !!
