    Seems like I am a late comer here .

    If I were you, I would my first option will be KTM duke 200. then pulsar 200 ns and thirdly the karizma R.

    I am presently using karizma r because the other two were not available during that time. And of course no regrets, the bike is just awesome ( atleast for me ).

      Hi guys tats great... But I'm not opting for apache as I feel it's too small for me ( test driven) and can't wait more than this month...

      So please answer my question regarding the height factor in my earlier post :S

            no safety concerns.height doesn't matter when the bike is rolling.
            and the question remains why do i race?
            every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

              Yes, while rolling not a prob... Agreed...
              But still, height is important when it comes to stopping the bike at higher speeds and to handle the bike when engine is off!!! (Parking? :P)

              So, anyway, I have FINALLY "CANCELLED " the booking of my FIREY RED R15 :S :S sob sob :S

              Hope i would not repent my actions.

              I equally love karizma zmr... Going to chennai tomorrow for personal reasons, meanwhile ill try to take a test drive and book the ZMR Black (love it ) ...

              But i hope it turns out to be a good choice (for my height? 5.9' )...

              Suggestions, remarks and comments :S???

                        Dude sayank...

                        I dont know if u actually can foresee the future...

                        But guess wat ... I actually booked a "KTM Duke 200 "

                        I R LOVES IT

                        The engine sound rox... wipes away your thoughts on any other bike, even the cbr / ninja cries in front of it....

                        The 150mm rear radials offer unmatched stability (although there are chances of mud splashing all over during rainy season need to find a solution)...

                        The height, it was not as bad as i anticipated... It was actually fitting... though i felt a small gap ... but no probs as it is having a light frame of just 125 and odd kgs...

                        Its overall a complete package man... just like some one said earlier ... I love it ...

                        BUT WAT THE HELL, UPTO 3 MONTHS WAITING TIME ... PAID 20k ... and counting the days when they call me up to inform "Sir, ur KTM Duke is ready to race!!!" ...

                        A pic of me on the duke ... on of the best test drives i had ... i was allowed to ride this wonderful stallion for over 3 - 5 kms ... just for a test drive

                        I thank the probiking showroom guys for this ... Today i infact took the test drives for ZMR, P220F, RTR180ABS, CBR250R STD... But all fail in front of this baby monster...

                        I just could not express my JOY!!!



                        Guys - Ready to race??? (BTW ... THE HELMET WAS NOT MINE :|:|:|, THIS WAS FOR THE SAKE OF POSTING IN XBHP )
