  • Which bike us the best for Highway rides?

    Hi Riders,
    My name is Naga. I own a Pulsar 180 which I'd like to upgrade to a more stable and performing bike for especially highway rides. City usage is very limited for me. My budget would be 80K.
    Any suggestions.

    Query approved!

    BTW, P180 is potent enough.
    Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
    Because everyone who passes, isn't a martyr!

        Your current bike is good enough... If u want more power than u should have to buy pulsar 220,karizma r,ZMR....which is out of your. Budget

          P180 is a powerful enough bike.

          P220, ZMA and 200NS can be good, but are a bit more than your budget allows.
          So you'll have to stretch your budget quite a bit to get more power.
          I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

            Cruiser bike is the bike for highway riding 80,000rs is not sufficient to buy an RE, but you can go for Avenger 220, although this bike should not be called a proper cruiser bike, but still with your budget constraint bike will fill quite a lot expectation of an cruiser, ride quality is good plus that long relaxed sitting posture is what required in highway riding.

                  It is around 92K if I am not wrong. When I bought three years ago, it was 87K. I must say, this is one of the most understated bikes. I am not saying because I own and love it. I am saying this because this beast has earned my respect and compels me to say so. True VFM. I am bad at maintenance. But still this beast has rewarded my love with great performance and reliability in almost all kinds of road conditions. Not a perfect bike. For that matter no bike is. But really value-for-money. My suggestion is go for Avenger 220 DTS-i, if you can stretch by another 12K.

                    For your budget, Avenger is best. You can also look for a used Karizma or a RE.

                      Visit the nearest showroom of the bajaj in your vicinity, take a test ride and see how the bike feels, plus you will also be able to know the correct onroad price of the vehicle in your state.
