    buying a bike which you can't service in your city is not good, not recommended.

    CBR and R15 are good options.

    though R15 giving 44 at 100+ is a bit difficult to believe.

    and if FE matters very much for you, then you might be disappointed by KTM.

        That is awesome !! I wish if my R15 could have given this kmpls over 100kmph??

        regarding r15v2 good but difference white r15 and normal colours is 4k dont know why thatmuch difference for just body graphics [email protected] while others @1.30
        bro what is ur r15 FE can i expect 40 in highway and 35+in city
        have gone through many pages of xbhp and web but still like to know from your side
        as you are the one who opened my eyes
        I get an average of 35-37 kmpl when ride over 100-125kmph

        And get 40-41kmpl when ride it at 60-80kmph(mostly below 80kmph)
        IN city you can expect eye close 37+/-kmpl If it's too crowded road , else even you can get 40kmpl in city also.

        R15 drinks petrol like blood if you ride it over 100kmph+

        CBR is not bad bro, atleast you will be able to ride your family members on it as pillion. But if you buy R15 V2 then surely you will be kicked when ever there is a possibility of parents or sister boarding as pillion(second floor boarding)

          Yup it does, the V2 does.

          Why so? why do you want to red line in every gear?
          Why cant the R15 have a gear change at 4000rpm? and then have a steady increase over the rpms...
          Why does the throttle be applied completely, rolling of throttle is present right.

          Its a proven technique, I have a budget constrain on my head in regards to fuel, so i need to be in limits in regards to speeds and total output of the bike.

          I cant comment on that because -
          1) Its a V1
          2) Riding habits do matter

          R15 doesnt drink fuel like blood, i remember last Kolhapur trip which was done in 2-2.5hrs and speeds above 130kmph, we R15's got an average of 40odd kmpl. Gradual acceleration my boy, gradual accelaration!

            These is again a myth to me...Need a Pinch here!! Anyways mine is R15 V1. I tried all Mahabharat's tricks but no results..never got over 35-37kmpl > 100kmph.

              would you believe if I got an average of 55 on v1 during my spiti-leh ride ?
              other than that a consistent avg of 40+ during everyday use

                    I think we are deviating from the topic for which the thread was created ...
                    Rather than fighting we should stick to what is needed here

                        tnx for your suggestions as of now am going to postpone due to several reasons...


                        so will stick to my cbzx2006 which served me a lot and gave FE around 50 (in sane riding or else 30) even i ripped it on first day up to full throttle.and long rides without giving him break to relax(max 560kms with giving him sorry am taking a short break to pee)

                        even though i get a new bike i wont sell cbzx he will be with me life long will put him in my room just like tonystark ironman suits
