  • First bike. Need advice!!

    Hey guys!

    I'm gonna turn 18 soon and am looking to buy my first official bike.

    I'm 5'5 and 55kgs. Budget is 2laks. I'm looking for a fast, comfortable and stylish bike that can also tour. Not really concerned with milage.

    I was set of buying the R15 v2 a couple months back mainly for the looks. But, after consulting with some of my friends, they suggested i get something with a little more power.

    So i chose a couple bikes that i liked but need more opinions.

    1st on my list is CBR250. Though it doesn't look as good(IMO) as the R15, it's got way more power and supposedly great touring capabilities.

    2nd is the R15 v2 as i said before. I absolutely love its style. but i'm a little hesitant because of it's power/speed and it's touring capability.

    3rd The Duke 200 is coming out in a few weeks, Haven't really read about it yet but it looks great both stlyle and power wise. not sure about touring with this though.

    i'd love to hear your opinions on these bikes. Help me decide!!!

      ktm duke is not a tourer.r15 's pillion set can pose problem on long ride.consider cbr c-abs version.great tourer .more power in offer and with advanced c-abs its more safer.you can also consider zmr and save money.it is also a great tourer
      and the question remains why do i race?
      every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

      #i have learnt to manipulate my own adrenaline and the perception of biking is different.
      #overkill is underrated.
      #how random roads may appear there is always a destination.sigpic
      #i don't subscribe to co-incidence,either it is the rider or the other moron on the road

      (:)people keeps on saying add spark to life, bajaj got hold of that idea and added an extra spark to bike.
