      As you are 6 feet tall like me(6'1"), i feel fz can never be comfortable for you and will look like giraffe sitting on cycle(i.e. its way too small size) so it will always be a good bet to buy a pulsar 200NS, dont worry on its reliablity as effort made by bajaj is too good on it.

      BTW why dont you consider karizma R?, Atleast i felt its a too good bike and comfortable for people like us(6 footers).

          Kool Jack : Do you know that your post and that too 1st post in the forum, makes you look like an immature lad??

          Anyway : To begin with, putting FZ & 200NS in the same category in itself doesn't do any justice. Totally different bike with quite a lot of difference in Performance. If you wat a bike purely for City rides & nothing more then don't waste money on 200 NS because it's capable of much more than that. Tech wise too, I would rate 200NS a notch higher than Fz.

          And don't just make randon statement that "I heard Pulsar bikes are not reliable"

            Bro , Why you expect others to judge or recommend which bike will suit you ?? We are not you, different people have different thoughts and personality.
            The best eternal way is "TEST RIDE" several times which ever bike you are shortlisting.
            No showroom person will stop you from long ride of atleast 5kms or more. Just pay them the petrol. After all they want their sale to happen.
            Test ride will give you the best idea about it's handling/performance/comfort/suitability etc...

            And I see who have already answered your own query which bike suit you the best :

            You are looking for bike which suits Tall people along with good power and torque .....so even you know which bikes is best for you. Now bajaj is way ahead then it's histories...so NS is no doubt a good bike..

            FZ is now old tech, model and missing few features as well.

                  and thanks for the suggestion....i will probably go with NS

                        Test ride as advised by others. Again, in terms of specs, performance etc, NS is way above.

                            I would suggest you to go for Pulsar 200 NS.
                            As said, Fz cant even catch the smoke of Pulsar 200 NS, as there is a Huge difference in technology & a difference in Displacement.
                            Coming to the Pulsar 200 NS, i say its the Best value for money Bike in 200cc segment.
                            The way Bajaj worked hard on it, & gave some Different technology which is latest of the day.
                            The 4 Valve triple spark engine delivers thrilling performance at all speeds, a better power & mileage as it is triple spark.
                            Liquid cooling, mono suspension, 6 speed gear box which makes FLY
                            The petal discs & underbelly exhaust are latest features from Bajaj.
                            One thing you will love in Pulsar 200 NS is its power. I say its even more powerful than the Pulsar 220.
                            The stuff i disliked in the Pulsar 200 NS is its tail section. It looks Identical to the Pulsar 135. Bajaj would have worked well on the Tail section & make it look different from all Pulsars. The tyre's pattern too isnt that great, but provides exceptional Roadgrip. Coming to Reliability of Bajaj, I say Bajaj's bikes are Reliable both in city & highway, But dont expect them to be the Only Best in Reliability & im sure you wont be hurt by the word RELIABILITY OF BAJAJ. They are good enough.
                            I am sure you will enjoy Riding the Pulsar 200 NS both in city & highways.
                            Coming to Fz, i own one.
                            Fz is a Great machine. Many features in Fz & 200NS are similar such as mono shocks, fully digital instrumentation, Naked styling, C.O.M etc.
                            Good in city, coming to performance, it performs well, the styling is great.
                            Looks massive from all angles. Handling is really good.
                            Mileage figures are decent.
                            But Fz is outdated in terms of Engine technology. For those who want to maintain a high speed, Fz's Highway performance is not so impressive.
                            So its a modern world, go for a Modern bikes with whole lots of goodies.
                            GO FOR THE PULSAR 200 NS
