          Hmmm.. would really go for avenger. But now Pulsar 200 NS test ride reviews and pics are out. I am just carried away with it. I have made my final decision to go for 200 NS.

          Thanks everyone for showing concern.

            Just feels great to be a part of xbhp family after being an audience for so long.
            Experts, i really need your help in selecting a bike for myself. Here are few expectations from my ideal bike :

            -Anything above 180cc
            -I can stretch my budget till 1 lakh
            -Frequent city ride and occasional long rides
            -Weight no bar
            -Decent looks
            -Anything above 35 kmpl
            -Should give comfortable rides

            Me :
            -height : 5'9''
            -body : medium built
            -Nature lover
            -Love to travel

            I saw Bajaj Avy 220 and its been on my mind from then. On Road price here is 85k. Some of my friends like it and some don't. Some say it will suit me and some say it won't. Anything above 1 lakh (eg R15, Thunderbird) feels heavy on pockets. Its my first geared bike so want to think a lot before buying.

            I am from Goa. A software engineer by professional. Currently working/staying in Tamilnadu. In Goa i owned a Honda Dio and been driving that for 4 years until i came here to Tamilnadu. Though that bike is very common in Goa, here i don't even see a trace of that bike. Now i want to own a geared bike (which doesn't lack in power) so that i can travel to work daily and visit places with my friends on weekends. I don't have much experience with geared bike (but i can manage). In this profession, transfers are common so please advise me on how to go about the road tax.

            Bikes i liked :

            Yamaha R15

            Honda CBR

            Apache 180RTR ABS

            Bajaj Avenger 220

            RE Thunderbird

            Bikes i hate :

            Karizma

            Fazer

            PS : Sorry if this sounds like i'm looking for a bride and not a bike :P
            @ Tejas, its all depends on your priority mate, I understand you must've seen many Avengers in Goa, no doubt Avy is comfy on straight roads but when it comes to hilly roads/ up-hills Avy it might lack in corner, as per your requirement I am presuming you are looking for daily commuting and sometimes touring, if yes, then there is no bike like HMC Karizma, it's proven commuter/tourer and within all your requirement

              Thanks, But im not really a fan of HMC Karizma, just that it doesn't please my eyes. I have read the first impression review of Pulsar 200NS and finally made up my mind.
