      Best option available above 150cc under 1 lakh is :-

      1. Pulsar 220f (Best machine from bajaj until the 200ns will launch)
      2. Apache rtr 160/180/ABS (Massive machines in category)
      3. Pulsar 180

      All three bikes suits you and completes your requirement, but i think sexiest is pulsar 220f...
      KTM duke will be a great choice if you can stretch your budget to 1.5lakh and also you can wait for the beast pulsar 200NS(Under the 1 lakh)...

          Unfortunately this tool is neither updated nor does it work very well these days.
          Advice is a form of nostalgia.
          Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

            Did you know, after this tool has been released, there were only the following additions...
            R15 V2.0
            CBR 250R
            Duke 200
            Hyosung

            His requirements are now way in the above league; which still holds good!!!

            Edit - Oh!!! add the Duro 125cc's & new Activa's, which again are not in his league!!!

                buddy ,don't look further,p200 ns is for you,why?i am not even bothered to explain.just one thing ,have you ever heard of vfm,if yes then you don't even know what vfm is.just wait for the announcement of price.
                and the question remains why do i race?
                every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

                #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.

                  The wait is going to be more than worth it.If not,fz/fazer but I don't see the reason why
                  It all begins with a thumb-start -- Oh, wait, I forgot the kill-switch

                          mods, please update the prices also. The prices are ever increasing but some of the prices mentioned in the tool are old prices.
                          Whats there in a signature?

                            Look out for the pulsar 200 NS, its going to be worth the wait and great VFM. If u r not ready to wait, I would have suggested the Apache 180 (ABS) but looks are subjective here, I personally dont like the looks, so u can go ahead with the Fazer/FZ options...

                            Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight.

                            It was not that far on the map.

                              your weight is not an issue for handling the bikes we have here.
                              and the question remains why do i race?
                              every finishing line is the begining of a new race.
