    Most of the motorcycle companies out there have reinvented their products since they realize that people like to change with time.
    Apache did it with the RTR 180 & the 180 ABS (2011)......Yamaha with the new line of FZ16/FZS (2011)....Bajaj with their fleet of Pulsars have outdone themselves with something like the Pulsar NS & off course the KTM Duke 200.

    Since the Hero Honda partnership is over (not officially till 2014 upto which Honda will continue to support them), its possible that they haven't been able to have the same impact as the others.

    On topic :
    prajnyan gave an excellent description of a lot of available options..so did all the others. But the choice would be narrowed down further only if more requirements are known. Height, weight/built etc would be a good start...purpose of the bike (commuting or touring etc)....frequency of usage...& so on.

    Everyone here can speculate...but only you truly know what you need.

      I am planning to get a new bike . My height is around 170 - 185 cms (not sure) cms. Budget upto 1 lac .
      I am not yet decided on what type of bike to prefer . So can all of you give suggestions to the following 3 categories ? I would be commuting mainly through the city .
      1) Comfort
      2) Comfort + Power
      3) Power
      Mileage , I am not much concerned about.
      I had swelling in the back , but was completely treated 5 months back . I dont have any problems now.
      Thank you all ......
      You should try YAMAHA FZ..... It has a good blend of comfort and power....plus you can save some money(1L minus 80K), buy things and add to your riding gear.

        tvs has added abs, not reinvented rtr series.yamaha has just introduced new colour scheme.bajaj in true sense has re-invented pulsar.well for hmc they need no impact,they are the undisputed no .1,even after so many years the splendor still sells in huge no.,so does zma.
        and the question remains why do i race?
        every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

          Reinvented wasn't probably the right word
          Wanted to state that they did something different to highlight their products to the public
          ps : Yamaha also added a kick start

                    I didnt see properly , I thought it was ZMR ( the white colored one) ...
                    if its ZMA , i wont consider as I didnt like the style ....

                    I will test ride FZ , rtr 180 ( even though , many said it wont fit me)

                    finally ... when will the booking for 200 NS start and rumored price ?

                          Hi novice
                          See the best bike according to your price range will be new and latest bike which is Hero Impulse its fully different bike from other bike prices in India its first off road and on road bike in the Indian market it will cost around Rs75,000, its look like a dirt bike. You can also go for new pulser200cc but its price is around 1lakhs and will be coming to showroom around April2012.

                            Hey d-man
                            I agree with you and the most interesting part of this bike is that its totally different from other bikes available in market or upcoming bike and this is the first bike based on the model of dirt bike. I love this bike.
