    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.

        the best two street bikes out there in the market right now are Duke 200 & P200NS. I don't think anyone will differ on this. It's up to you to choose one of them. Test ride and see which one suits you. CBR150 or R15 are not street bikes, but they can certainly be used on streets if you want to.

            Bro please, according to your size( dont mistake me) only and only Royal Enfield will suit you, none other will be able to fulfill the need of yours..please do have a thought on that....

                I hav tried R15v2 which felt kie but i am afraid in the long run i will have wrist and back pain ..........And actually A Karizma I had before suited me and no issues with ride and handling ........

                Many suggested to go for CBR 150R .............will be doin a test drive soon

                  R15 & CBR 150R falls almost in the same segment with slight differences
                  Duke is a naked bike with sporty riding position, yet, its a upright sitting posture.

                  Being 18, I bet you didn't know these facts...
                  - Emergency braking is more controllable on bikes like R15 & C150R
                  - If learned to seated properly, R15 & C150R offers best riding posture in terms of sending shocks through back bone & overcome wind blasts at higher speed on highways

                  My suggestion would be, go through pros & cons of all 3 bikes, and most importantly, instead of buying a bike for 1.3L, buy a bike that suits your more even if you've to wait a little more & don't forget for TD's. Instead of riding everyday, you'll enjoy with peace of mind everyday

                    The Duke is taller than most other bikes... however, not sure if 6'4 frame would be comfortable..have you done a TD on the Duke ?

                      If you could extend your budget then a CBR 250 would be also great for your built..

                        The real problem here is tat i am 6'4 ft tall and tat is causing d problem in selecting ..........oderwise i like all d three n maybe R15 a bit more ............I have been real comfortable with riding my friend's FZ s and my Karizma R .......which one of these three will be some wat similar to tat height .......

                          R15 won't be that great on you.

                          Your height is awesome so weight too, go with Duke 200, if you are not interested in NS200. NS200 is a nice bike way ahead from previous pulsars. And it's rightly made for you height either.
                          Duke has little backward poistioned pedals so it will effect the long ride, But for street yes it's nice, but not for highways.

                          NS200 or Duke both are little unstable post 110kmph on highways due to unfaired bike!!

                          If you are not speed freak freak then go with CL350 or Electra or TBTS, it will suit you alot. your build is exactly for RE's.

                              In that case, the Karizma R / ZMR are the only options left for you.
