    Need help to buy a new bike

    Hi,

    I am very new to this forum and just need some help from the experts to buy a new bike.

    Earlier i was owning a pulsar 150 but then sold off and bought a car. Now, I again want to buy a bike and this time i am looking for a cruise bike(preferred) instead of a sports bike.

    I have a budget around 70k to 1.5 lakh. Gone through some online stuff but unable to find the right answer. With this kind of a budget currently i can only think of Avenger and Royal Enfield. Need experts opinion if there is any other option apart from these 2 bikes?

    My requirements are -

    Budget : 70k to 1.5 lakhs
    Pillion Comfort : Very Important
    Good Power and can easy to drive in city traffic

    Kindly help regarding the same.

      Other than the ones shortlisted by you, the only other bike I can think of is Karizma R (ZMA). It has pillion comfort and it is easy to ride in traffic and the budget is well within yours.

        Avenger might seem like has got good pillion support but in reality its not that good.
        Pillions complained after riding for more than 40 mins. You will have to modify the pillion seat by adding some extra foam on both sides to improve it.

          1. Karizma. . .
          2. Bullet, preferably Electra. . .
          3. How about Pulsar 220. . ?
          4. If you are not looking for particular cc then how about Unicorn. . ? I have been using it and it feels very comfortable and not to forget the buttery smooth engine as well. . .

          That's it, I guess any one among these is a good choice. . .

          Cheers!!!

            So the only options i can have are Karizma, RE and Avenger. Pulsar 220 not sure if its good for Pillion comfort and Unicorn has less power.

            Out of Karizma, RE and Avenger, just want some inputs regarding the maintenance. Also, with Karizma ZMR i am not sure its front body is robust and sustainable for long.
