      then how come you like the duke?both have them quite similar styling geometry,while duke is flashy,pulsar is more sedate grown-up.
      and the question remains why do i race?

            I didnt mean to say that your not helping me out.all of your replies are making me go for the duke even more now.but the problem is i also like tbts.and the karizma.
            Is it very evident that i like the duke?and why could ktm not fit a little larger seat at the rear?Im totally confused

              see you cannot have everything,right?at the end of the day you have to settle by compromising on something like fuel efficiency or,comfort or,power,or handling.there is no bike called perfect.now it is upto you what you really want and what you actually need.
              now you used to love tbts and now you love duke.
              actually you want a tbts but you actually need a dose of duke.

              are you ready to race?

                Thank you all guys for ur valuable inputs.I have decided to cancel the booking of the bull after reading horror ownership reports of many tbhpians.Tough the case might be one in a million, i definitely dont want to be that "one".I want peace of mind.
                Now options left are duke and karizma.can any rider who has driven both the bikes extensively shed some light on performance of karizma i.e how much speed can one comfortably cruise in? and will joeling the kari give duke a run for its money?

                    Duke and karizma are different breeds.
                    while karizma is sedate tourer which can cruise at 120 kmph all day.
                    duke is rev-happy,in and out fun to ride bike.but i doubt it will be as stable as karizma at high speed.but if you are strictly city rider then all you need is duke.
                    and the question remains why do i race?

                      This would be my running.all distances are return trip and this is the minimum distance im gonna do.in what category do i fall?

                          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.

                              sports commutourer is registered not commutourer.
                              i can use it anyways unless satyen sues me.
                              yeah i somewhat know the chronicles of commutourer.
                              but he neither falls in commuter segment,nor tourer.he is more of a casual rider who rides for fun.i think duke is more than enough to fullfill his desire.what do you suggest?
                              and the question remains why do i race?
