    Dear Ramesh,

    Like aargee said, in spite of my non-flattering review, if you are impressed by it, then welcome to the club.

    Also, like Jane Fonda said, no pain, no gain. In the days after your purchase, you will acquire ample quantities of both.

      Wanted to put some info about Karizma , now hero have spare offices for 2/3 districts combined which stocks almost all spares & supply to ASC spare shop . So its not a issue . Also there is no problem of Ground Clearance in ZMR as Non-Owners are stating . Check this post http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcyc...tml#post819042

          @rameshmadhavan:

          How come ater riding 535 lighting you overide C5 or TB500 and choose CBR250 ??

          I assumed RE people are very different than other bikers once a RE would always a RE only kind of thing. I thought you might go for hoysung ST7 or HD883 super low or atleast TB500. but a CBR 250 ?? out of understanding.

          Are you fine with the torque that CBR250 returns apart from C5 or TB500 ??

          CBR is not that good Tourer as you required?? it's a Sports cum Tourer though

            I know...once a RE would always a RE...thats a good line. Am not going to give off my 535, this would always be ther with me. would use that for more a relaxed ride, this CBR would be for my daily usage & for touring with these young guys planning for 2 or 3 day rides ...so that I can be at par with them.

            Am a biker and not endorsing for any brand, which ever is best fitting in for my requirement, am going to be using it.

            RE IS RE ALWAYS I love it for its presence & solid on the road

              You already own a RE 535. I have my doubts if you will enjoy the ride on CBRs or Pulsars.

              I suggest to consider RE C500.

              If you dont want it then I guess CBR is a better practical choice over Ninja.

                  Try Hero Impulse, I find that is one of the most underrated tour bikes in India

                    a bit under powered i think. on highways you can feel you going too slow.

                      yes, it is a little under powered but you need to make a choice between how much you can spend and what you want right?? for the money you spend on impulse, it is a steal. Of course, its not doing so well. but so are some of the products like xenon xt et al..

                      If you have everything in the world may be a suzuki v storm or a BMW r1200ss would be the best tourer
