    Highly exaggerated on XBHP! It won't break your bones. Don't people ride Harleys and Bullets? Its a high revving machine which sadly doesn't have a counter balancer to even out the residual forces in the engine, but nothing to worry about. You must get used to the riding stance though!

    But Fz sounds better option and the yamaha showroom manager assured me that fz gives 50+ milage in city..
    Highly optimistic. Would need you to ride in Splendor mode all the time and even then you might miss out. Keep 42-44 kmpl under very controlled riding conditions.
    Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
    Because everyone who passes, isn't a martyr!

      fzs will not give you 50+ buddy....35-40kmpl when u will ride in splendor mode30-35kmpl when u will ride it like a ktm...sometimes it goes below 30 aswell...fzs lack petrol efficiency but scores in every other department.....choose wisely what u want

        sporty looks and comfortable ride, both errrgh might be little difficult along with a mileage. . .

        Ok here's the thing, why not try out Apache RTR160, only thing you got to compromise is on the vibs which you will forget once you start riding it, I personally love riding my cousin's RTR180 every now and then and don't feel those vibs a problem now. . . Else, try out Sz-RR, why isn't anyone mentioning this. . ?

        Again as I stated, if you can postpone it for some months' time, the Gixxer 155 seems like a good machine. . .

        Before taking any decision, test ride all. . .

        Cheers!!!

          Because of poor mileage figures. Its no better than FZ.

            Now we are talking and AFAIK - You are making no mistake buddy Trigger ticks all your boxes so I would say go ahead. If possible go for CBS one - its worth every penny

            1. Sporty looks - Yes
            2. Better mileage(45-50 city, 60 highways.) - yes (40-50kmpl)
            3. Comfortable riding - yes (mono-shock is not a gimmick)
            4. Less maitenance - Yep Honda after all but spares may take its own sweet time

            The only other bike would be GS 150 but doesn't have monoshock or Gixxer 150 but its new . so...

              I researched on many options which can fulfill all my requirements and then decided to go for CB Trigger..
              But the options other than Cb Trigger would compell me to sacrify or make adjustments on a requirement or two.
              So I guess guys Trigger is my ride..
              Isnt she?
              But i'll check apache too...

                  Bro you cannot have everything in ONE bike that is why I asked you for your requirements.
                  GS 150 has an extra cog , Gixxer will have novelty while Apache may have a slightly better performance and please understand these are very good rides in their own right.
                  Now where Trigger scores for you is its will be more comfortable (read mono-shock with upright stance) which none of the above have.

                      If you can wait, then i'm sure it will be worth the wait. Not only the new pulsars but many new bikes are going to be showcased at the Auto expo in Feb.
                      Also Hero is going to launch a new bike and a scooter tomorrow.

                      Cheers

                      Living long depends on fate, living a fulfilled life depends on yourself.
