    There is no initial or perfect riding! It's you who want to be at what range! If you are not a speed or racing honk then you will get good mileage with any one!! But if you do opp then petrol and money are inversely propostional!
    Why don't you start with a second splendour or something !! to get yourself comfortable with bike and riding style, once you are ready then go for 150cc New!! there are many <a class="ktg6us78hf8vdu7" href="#">options</a>.

    P.S: Rejecting GS150r is one of the regreting point in future if you are concern with mileage/comfort and touring capabilities!!
    i do have a used boxer now.and iam aint that bad at riding.1 down 4 up is what i got prob with .i will get used to it soon i hope.and about acceleration , iam do love speed , thats why i always play with accelerator..

    p.s : i wont ever regret about gs150r because, it weight more and i dont like suzuki.

      Nice to hear that

      Pulsar : reliability is the issue that iam also worried about.if the engine will go well for atleast 2 years ,iam happy .because within that time i will put on some weight and try to get a good bike like r15 in 2014.

      If you want to sell the bike in two years then well maintained P135 will sell for good price. I think Pulsar has more resale value than FZ in Kerala because of the mileage factor

      fzs: i do have a love towards this bike because of its street looks.and the yamaha badge.but mileage and weight is what iam worried about.40kmpl is ok for me.but i told you that iam a not-so-good driver.will that drop the mileage ?

      FZ-s looks are very attractive than most of the bike on roads. And most of the kachavadam has happened because of its looks and brand tag Yamaha. If you ride sanely surely your mileage will shoot to 45km/l. I don't think you re not bad in riding bikes by your writing but surely you will get 40km/l with that kind of bad driving which you think

      hunk : my friend do own one , and thats what iam riding mostly nowadays.loved its comfort and mileage.but the design seems pretty classic to me.

      Hunk is a good bike but you will surely miss the Honda brand tag

      szr : outta list now

      Good Decision

          hunk and szr is out.

            if you love speed and comfort is not your priority then RTR 160 with good power/speed and mileage for what it delivers!!
            Else RTR 180 ABS approx Rs 1L.

            RTR 160 or RTR 180 ABS, for speed!!
            FZ is also good in handling and speed turns!!
            But one thing needs to be in limit, the cornering that R15/CBR/Duke/Ninja/GT250 does is something way ahead!! so if you think that kind of cornering then better come to real!! it won't!!

            RTR and FZ are sane bikes, FZ is more gripper due to it's wide tyres!! you can play with speed only with RTR!! compare to your weight and height

                  1 down and 4 up is the best gear pattern for bikes. And toe shifting is also very effective. You will surely agree with this when you start riding bikes with this kind of pattern

                  If you want to keep your bike for a very long time and if you are ok with 40km/l mileage then surely go for FZ. Don't worry about speed. In kerala you can't go more than 80 in SH roads because there are too many towns in our state and lots of turnings and zig zags. For that FZ will be fun. Yes as someone said FZ is fun from 0-100 but I think 70-80 cruising speed and kissing 100 once in a while is what you can expect from a 153 cc motor.

                  P135 for what you were saying that you want to keep it for 2 years and sell it. Please don't go for P150 because P135 has got good market and is successful. There are lots of old P150s and when you sell this new one it won't grab you much re-sale value.

                          weight is not atall an issue untill you have a bit of skill to handle.
                          by 'long', how long do you mean......i've seen people doing 1000kms trip on 135 cc bike....so not that issue

                                You know its not about Weight its skill one should master while keeping bike on main stand

                                its all about correct/more technique & less power

                                But trust me just test ride first then decide or make your mind very clear about what type of Ride he want & expectation...

                                There are members who are happy with Kawasaki Ninja 250R & CBR 250, Done leh & Spiti...

                                There are people who has done Leh on Pulsar 135ls & On Platina

                                There are members who has been there on Leh with P220, apache & Fazer's...

                                and there is a guy (Legend) done Leh on Chetak


                                SO What you think now ? Just make your mind clear first what is your love ...else depends on you & Only
