    guy

    thanks for all your responses.

    Actually currently i own Avenger220 cc .Its's a godd and comfortable bike but on straight roads. its danm bumpy even on small pot holes and difficult to commute during traffic time due to more turning radius. besides this its good for cruising upto 80-90 kmph but after that it feels that bike is getting asthama.

    Now actually i am looking for a change and dont have much idea about the other sports bike available in the mrket uder my budget.

    I had TS the cbr250 it felt good but on reading owner reviews i found its not good for offroad..like some times as we need to travel..by offroad i mean bad road such that we may face at route to laddakh.

    another good option is i heard of KTM Duke but as its light weight can anyone tell me hows the bike on highways..few owners reported that cross wind have grt impact on the riding on highways as its light weight and its not that comfortable its jus a good city commuter.

    As faras pulsars are concerned i cant say much about 200ns but yes 220f it lacks on bit handling and braking aspects.

    So because of all things m jus confused which would be the best for me.

    I understand the its the biker who have to handle the bike and every one has own comfort and choices but yes vice versa( bike for biker ) is also another aspect to be consider . this is the fact wher i want all your suggestions and your experiences with the bikes..

    i love touring so jus want a good bike which i can take not every where but to the max...

      If you are used to Avenger. You could go with RE TB/TBTS. They can be used off-road as well !
      Or go for a RE with Impulse's tyres !
      "Madness", as you know, is a lot like gravity, all it takes is a little push !

        RE TB/TBTS fall in same category as avenger gonna have same problems...And its heavy + m kind of average do you think it gonna suit me...

        In between i am more looking for
        KTM Duke----really dont know about comfort and highway rides.
        Pulsar 200ns-----A KTM version from bajaj but heard some problem with performance ..its not stable(is it true??)
        Pulsar220--- sporty avenger 220 + speed
        CBR 250 ABS---- Looking for some solid reason to go for it over pulsar220...as it costs double( can anyone justify the cost over p220 except abs??).

          If you are coming from an Avenger, any 150 or 200 will not satisfy you. Best would be to go for CBR250 and handle it with care on bad roads. Does a very stable 140kph on stock bike (real speed, not speedo indicated) sound like a solid reason?

          Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!

                  Go for Hero Impulse. An on road and off road bike. Perfect choice for Indian conditions. No backaches on long rides, easy handling in city rides n good on highways too. Moreover it will save you more then one lakhs. Its fun to ride impulse. Riding quality is super awesome....

                  Give it a try buddy. Test ride it.

                    Impulse is a great bike and can eat bad roads as no other Indian bike can...
