Re: Which bike would increase fun quotient in daily commute

IMO your requirement simply points to the Bullet/Thunderbid 350. It's little over the budget for you but for these long daily distances and comfort/pleasure of riding on the highways, they are the best. You can't rip them like Pulsar/RTR but can achieve high speeds of up to 120kmph if you so wish and the torque makes it a breeze to overtake. Give it a test ride and find out if it suits you.

Re: Which bike would increase fun quotient in daily commute

Your parents disagreed for Duke and hence they may disagree for 200NS too. So your best shot is RTR180 with ABS(for safety).

Re: Which bike would increase fun quotient in daily commute

I guess the NS 200 is the only one fitting the bill now.
If you can stretch, then Duke it is!

Re: Which bike would increase fun quotient in daily commute

You have two options- A new P200NS or a used Duke 200. Duke200 has a very good and powerful engine and hence I would recommend this too.

In my opinion, look out for your biker buddies who are willing to sell their dukes. Getting a used bike from a biker friend is always in a way better condition than getting a used bike from someone who doesn't respect or worship their motorcycles, just my two cents.

Re: Which bike would increase fun quotient in daily commute

Hi Guys! I have been busy with my life and almost forgot that I had tingled a few Experts with my query. I am sorry for being unresponsive for quite a while.

Haven't been able to do any test ride so far but I have shortlisted 3 bikes so far, priority wise the list is 200NS, R15 and Avenger .

The purchase plans are probably gonna shift to August 1st week, as it will turn out to be my B'day gift from my dad :P (yeah, thats how its gonna be).

I will give one more last push for DUKE though..

ADMINS you can close this thread, as I have got the insight that I was looking for .

Re: Which bike would increase fun quotient in daily commute

I'd suggest R15 out of your 3 shortlisted choices.As you mentioned,do try for the duke 200.That'll keep you happy for a long time

PS:- Start buttering parents for the D200

Re: Which bike would increase fun quotient in daily commute

Go for a dazzler or unicorn... Though they may not look send, they do have power and mileage balanced very well... They will give u power as well as very good mileage even at higher speeds.. Plus the seats are comfortable for the distance you commute everyday..
I personally prefer a fz but the mileage is terrible if u rip it..

Ride safe!!

Re: Which bike would increase fun quotient in daily commute

Test ride the RTR 180 ABS, if you haven't already. It doesn't get more fun at that price point.

Re: Which bike would increase fun quotient in daily commute

Hi comrades!

I am really glad to say that I got myself a Pulsar 200 NS. The choice was slightly difficult after it boiled down to Apache RTR 180 ABS and 200 NS. As I have told earlier that I have been using a TVS bike , Apache was what my la familia (to be specific, mama mia) was asking me to buy, and It was not a bad deal at all but the charisma this Black beauty (yes My new ride is all black ) had was hard to ignore.

Even though I was heartbroke when bajaj dealership denied a testride quite opposite to the TVS guys who were so - so much friendly. I even warned them that they were making it quite easy for me to decide.

But very next day I straight away walked into owner's cabin and talked to him . He was friendly and ensured that I had smooth exp there onwards in the dealership. the delivery was done in the evening of this last monday . I am enjoying the orgasmic rides daily...wooohooo. thanks every one for your inputs.

Will be posting an review shortly.

Re: Which bike would increase fun quotient in daily commute

Suzuki gs250r
Reasons-
Nakes/not faired
6th gear for highway
Good FE
Economical
Suzuki reliability, due to your higj usage
I think bajaj would not be that much reliable
