Thread Approved

Please go through the checklist and try to add info that you have missed out. Off the top of my head, I can see that you haven't mentioned your BiL's age and intended usage of the bike.

Re: Honda Shine or Pulsar 135 LS or CB Twister?

Hi,

Thanx for approving my thread. My BiL's age is 24 years old and he'll be commuting from home to office and back within city limits He'll also be using it to conduct regular day to day activities like doing house chores or going out with friends, etc. All within city limits

1. Budget - 65 to 70k.
2. Age - 24.
3. Height - 6 feet.
4. Weight - 68 kg.
5. Intended usage - Office/College commute, Weekend recreation riding, etc - ALL within city limits
6. Fuel Efficiency requirement (approx., if any) - 50 to 55 is okay
7. City & Highway percentage usage - 100% City. He won't be allowed by his parents to take the bike on highways JUST YET :P
8. Approximate Daily / Monthly running - 10 to 20 km daily (am exaggerating).
9. City / Town /Village of residence (so we can evaluate road conditions / traffic / terrain / altitude / OTR pricing) Kalyan/Ulhasnagar/Mumbai. Road conditions - Okay to BAD.
10. Brand / Bike type preference (if any) - Honda (for durability and long life of engine) but we can go with Bajaj too coz it seems they have improved a lot.

I hope the above provides a good lot of information

PS: I read in a thread below mine that someone was questioning the durability of Pulsar 135LS. What do you guys think of that ?

Also, how does the Shine fare again Pulsar 135LS ? What are its deficits compared to Pulsar 135LS ?

Also, I just searched on the internet and came to know that CB Twister is a 110 cc bike. Is that going to be sufficient/good/worth it ? when compared to Shine (125 cc) and Pulsar (135 cc) ?

Re: Honda Shine or Pulsar 135 LS or CB Twister?

Tried 125ST? I think that's what you should be looking for! 135 would have been better if he has to take it to the highway often.

Re: Honda Shine or Pulsar 135 LS or CB Twister?

Spoke with him and he's not interested in any "Discovers" :P Lets see. We are also thinking of extending our budget a little and see if we can get our hands on a CBZ Extreme

Performance-wise, the P135 is the best machine among your shortlisted machines. But it might feel too cramped for a 6-footer.
