        Any inclinations towards RX100/135 or RE ???

        Getting angry at somebody is the same as getting angry with a bike that just won't go. You should stop and start thinking.

          150cc:

          GS150R / Honda Trigger/ FZs (mileage could be less than other bikes mentioned)

          GS (better looks/6thgear/mileage/ride quality/refined engine)

          Trigger( Honda / light weight/ smooth engine/ dual disc / mileage)

          125cc:

          Hero Ignitor/ Honda stunner or Shine/ Bajaj discover 125ST/ Pulsar135

              Going by your details, consider all 150 cc (also Apache 160 cc and Pulsar 180 cc)- go through the exclusive ride reviews here.
              Few suggestions in your approximate budget -
              Hero Hunk/CBZ
              Yamaha FZ
              Honda Unicorn
              Apache RTR 160
              Pulsar 150/180

              These should satiate your need for weekend recreational ride or else you can consider 125 ccs as well.

                First of all.. No more 'lyk, em, luv.......' Write them in full.. Proper english.. Forum rules..

                now to your query.. Get FZ.. It would not ask for much apart from periodic servicing..
                also get test rides of what other members have mentioned.. You will know which one to get after that.. And don't get to confused.. Get the one you like..
                Ride safe and have fun.
                Regards

                  ^^ +1 to that...
                  Test ride all the bikes that fit your budget.
                  Then you'll know which one to get!

                    Suzuki GS150R seems to be the perfect bike for you. It has everything that you need + the 6th gear. The engine is smooth, the bike is heavy so it will not be affected by the crosswinds & as you're 5'11" tall, it will be comfortable to you.

                    If you can shell out a little more, say about 5-7k, then I would recommend TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS to you. Safety first my friend. But do test ride it before finalizing it because you're tall. The posture may not be appropriate for your height, but 40km a day isn't a big deal.

                          Fz is better, plus there are new colour options available. ask about apache's vibrations and part availabilty.

                          PS: Fz fuel guage fools the rider 90% of the time. You will get used to it though.

                            Do consider avenger too. Smooth highway ride with 200cc engine. Good fuel economy and only cruiser available in that price range.

                              Buy the all new Hero Xtreme.
                              Launching soon with all new fresh styling and cool features. Engine Immobilizer n all.
                              I expect it to fit in you budget.
