    Yes...Now I believe the fact, that "once we get used to it, we can manage it", is really true..

    @ mitz and Maverik...It was really brilliant to explain with such pics...I thank you so much for your work...you really deserve a special applause..

    @ Harshik...thanks for ur explanation...the last sentence in ur comment really gave me smthng to think about..

    @ nitin....its really a motivating comment...

    @ sheel..yes Dani was only 5.2...thanks for ur comment..

    @ sunny..thanks for ur comment and I feel convinced now...

    @sksy_biker...thanks bro for approving my query..

    Thanks to all of you guys...I think that bike is ok for me...

    I think riding not only single, but with pillion in the heavy traffic is also easier once I get used to it, right???

    Some of you said Apache and Fz...Apache was good..but my dad wouldn't allow me if I choose a tvs bike..even few people say about all those engine vibrations and poor road grip in apache..

    Fz 16...I saw it very rarely...it was a beauty ofcourse...but once when I asked a yamaha mechanic in the service center, he himself said, "don't choose it, very poor mileage and tyre probs always..buy it and spend all ur pocket money for this one"...Really shocked..

    May be its better to go for p135...ofcourse people say, its a flop bike and has some engine probs..I think there's no better bike than this..

      P135 it is, dont worry about people sayin its a flop bike, just because the other pulsars have overshadowed the sales of the very potent and amazing p135 people say its a flop bike.
      Its an amazing bike and ca give any 150cc bike except r15 a run for its money when it comes to performance and also it has amazing mileage

          I needed to buy a bike..I always liked the pulsar 135 and checked out its features and really liked it..We went to the showroom and asked for its price and features...I asked them that I could sit and try it...but when I sat, only my toes were touching the ground...I really felt sad...I liked the bike since long but couldn't digest the fact that it is too height for me..

          I didn't feel the bike as heavy..The weight was ok for me..But I'm really worried about the height..So what can I do? I feel very depressed about this...Few people said that I can manage the bike after some practice on it...riding is ok..but what about balancing while stopping it?

          Friends please suggest me a bike for my height...
          Budget is not a problem till 1 lakh..I'd like something which gives atleast 45kmpl in city (I'll ride mostly in city)..however if bike suits me well, even 35 kmpl is ok.!!

          Small info : I used to ride my dad's boxer ct always..And now I'm using my uncle's platina 100cc for a while..they both suited well for my height.
          buy bajaj avenger 220 you can easily ride this bike without any issue

            +1... It is a nice cruiser with great power... No competition in comfort it offers..

            It really doesn't matter how your physic is once you're used to it... I look like ninja chacha in Hello brother, but still rode bullets, Ninja without any issue..

              so dont worry, u can ride anything which has 2 wheels. so dont settle for anything less what you want and go ahead.

                  R15 V1 and Avenger 220 are perfect bikes for people with less hight..
                  and they look as awesome as superbikes on them..

                  if you got the moolah, don't even think twice before going for R15 (Version 1).. test ride it once..
                  otherwise Ave220 is good..

                  R15 --> 1.1 to 1.2 Lakh on road.
                  Ave220 --> 75K-80K on road.

                        I will try to post, but sometimes I become very busy for work, so dont post very regularly.

                        But I feel very good when you people like my post.

                          I will second Kanda here, he seems to have suggested the best possible choices based on the thread poster's needs.

                          @kanda: I have a question, as you must be aware that Enticer is no more available off the shelf, do you recommend buying a pre-owned example.

                              Dear Mr. Bandhav,

                              you have a nice name, i likes it. and thank you for calling me Kanda as people who love me call me Kanda.

                              ok, Enticer is not coming new, but you can buy old motorcycle from any dealer and also from lots of dealers in karol bagh. My old friend is also selling his old enticer is you want you can buy it. he demanding 20000 for it. if you want, i ask him to call you. what is your mobile number.

                              bye

                                Avenger is ok for my height..But it doesn't give the mileage I have indicated in the first post...The rest enticer, cd100 & boxer are not available..Infact I'd prefer a bike above 125cc..
