    My first bike.

    Hey guys, I'm new out here and I'm pretty confused about buying my first bike.
    I just turned 18, my height is 5'11(yeah I'm pretty tall for my age)
    The budget is around 80k to 85k, mileage doesn't matter but looks and performance does..
    I rarely go on long rides, but I travel 15-20 kms per day(city)
    Some bikes that I thought of are:
    Pulsar 220f,
    Yamaha fz(i dont like fazer),
    Tvs Apache rtr 180,
    I think the apache will be a problem for my height but what about others?
    Any suggestions??

    For city usage you need to stick to naked city bikes. FZ is great in the city. Go for it.
    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.

        Hello My namesake.... for your height, I guess, P200 NS would be the best choice. If you are tight on budget, Get the Yamaha FZ or Suzuki GS150.

          FZ-S should be fine, but since you are close to 6 foot, you need a decent TD to check the comfort. Forget Apache its not for guys as tall as us (am 6+), its a great bike though. P220 will be the best choice for you.
          Its crime to ride a car alone, so I ride bike :).

            Pulsar 180 suits your height and requirements. FZ is also a good option, but you wanted more and more performance. I think 180 cc in that price bracket should be evaluated.

              Karizma R is also a good option but its not mentioned in ur list.
