  • Need a new Bike by end of August.....

    hello

    i am looking for a new Bike
    i am 5.10...and overweight.....
    budget would be around 80k-1.5L

    options:
    Royal Enfield Classic 500
    Avenger 220 DTSi
    Honda Active (everyone suggests it but i am not willing to go for it)
    any other?


    daily comute will be around 10-15 KM, mostly city and once in a while long rides of 150KM.

    will need a bike by the third week of august.

    to be noted, i have never ridden a bike, just my brothers active. is it wise to buy a new bike and learn on it.

    i am more inclined towards the Avenger 220, but worried wether it has an upgrade coming ...

    also is the CBR 250 advisable .....or any other option given my weight...on the heavier side of 120....

    Query Approved
    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

      RE 500 and CBR 250 is your machines....pick from these two of them

      Choose RE if you love cruse long distance don't like cornering where you can cruse on RE500 at around 120 kmph full day....

      Pick CBR if you need decent acceleration and handling and a fairer bike with nice looks and some sports feel, where you can over take according to your mood some time...

      Rest do take a test ride of shortlisted bikes and then select....good luck...

      And yes do not forget to give your introduction in intro thread...

        Any bike won't be hard to ride if you know to ride it.... Even a learner can ride CBR or RE..

        As per city chaos I would recommend CBR as it is more fit in your choice as per city as well req....
