    Re: Need help in getting a performance bike..under 1.5l

    For practicality, good touring and fast service avlblty and cheap spares, look no other than 200 NS.

    If you want a more sportier riding motorcylce, and a bike that likes to be revved you can get the R15

    If you want a premium commuter, cum tourer, then Duke.

    If you want an even more premium, relaxed and smooth tourer, look no other than Honda, CBR 250

    Cheers!

    Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
    The girl said, 'NO!'


    And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


    THE END

      Was confused between GS150 and 200NS. TD Gs150 yesterday and didnt like the weight. So 200NS maybe the one i opt for. I am totally new to biking, will I be able to handle a 200CC. And also my friend told me that each year more than 10k will be spent in servicing. Is it true?

        In one year,
        you need four services,
        Oil change in alternate service.
        One oil change costs 500 bucks
        Total 1000,
        Things to be replaced aren't more than 200 bucks
        Max 1800
        I've spent 1300, and it has been 7 months, and don't need to spend a Penn for another 3 month's,
        Go ahead and kick your friend.
        My first bike was and is also p200ns.don't worry

          Duke and ns 200 have almost the same benifits and are awesome in their own ways.
          Among the above 2 if you prefer mileage go for ns200, if power and light weight go for duke 200

                  Ably i disagree. When someone says the word "performance" words like FE and service go out the window,IMO. A performance bike WILL cost more, ask for more attention - both money wise and service wise and it will definitely return lesser FE. When it comes to performance, small trade offs will make large changes. 1.5bhp is quite a bit.

                  But, this is moot. He already booked the duke! Congratulations.

                    In my case it is the opposite, got 20k, need another 85k Maybe you can buy the bike right now, and pay the 20k in installments, then maybe it would become 25k but not more than that.
