Approved!

P200NS. That would also allow you to save some cash for riding gear. Get a good helmet at least.

Re: Help me Choose bike please

The sitting posture of R15 is not comfortable for a 5'8'' guy but its a really nice bike; looks, engine reliability and performance wise. Have you test ridden it? If you found it comfortable for you then buy it. Else you have CBr150r at that budget, may be a bittt more, but have a better comfort providing and less agressive posture. 200ss won't come so soon but 200NS is of course a good bike, especially a speed bike. I'd suggest the CBR150R over the two others. Test ride and decide.

This line is utter nonsense.

I'm 5'10" and my brother is 5'8" and we both have no problem in riding R15. One needs to ride with proper posture and technique.

Re: Help me Choose bike please

Yamaha's R15 is a fantastic bike, sometimes you feel that you are riding an MOTO-GP bike on road with trademark Yamaha chassis, but on the longer run you are bound to get uncomfortable with the bike because of racing posture, and as you are having some physical problems you shouldn't be looking for this bike, secondly you want to ride this bike in village so an R15 is not justificable for village roads, you need a proper comfortable posture bike with good suspension, pulsar 200ns is also a good bike less forward riding posture as compared to Yamaha's, engine of 200ns is the best engine till date made by Bajaj, cheap spares is also one benefit but if any bike is suitable for you then why not have a look at RE's Electra, it will come in your budget plus the bike is comfortable to you and for pillion also.

Re: Help me Choose bike please

R15 is probably the best sub 200CC bike in India today in almost all the aspects.
But, P200 is also a vey good VFM product.
These two bikes can't be compared as they belong to different segments. Pillion comfort and power is better in P200. But, since pillion comfort is not that important to you, you can go for R15 for your budget. It's a great bike to ride solo. And for your height, you should not have any problem with R15.
Apart from these two, you can check out the Karizma as well(but it'll be a little difficult for congested city roads than those two).

Re: Help me Choose bike please

Bikes in your budget Are karizma,bullet,200NS, yamaha r15,test ride all of them and get one that is suite you.all this bikes are best in their own department.all of this gives you the same mileage(40+)when riding with care under 60kmph speed.

not only the hight but also physic or stature is a thing that relates with comfort. I am 5'9'' and my hand aches while riding an R15 for more that 20 minutes. But this story may not go same with all. So I asked him to test ride. Understood?

With wrong riding stance, you would start having wrist pain within 10mins. Riding a sports bike (or any other bike) has nothing to do with physic and stature. This notion of yours is wrong. Its all about how you use your body with bike.
Don't want to stretch this further. Peace out !

You can have some discomfort while riding these kind of racing posture bikes, all of the professional sports bike riders or racers are superfit and still they feel some discomfort while riding these bikes, like Lorris Capirossi because of his height he developed his own style of riding the bike, if a person wants to ride longer distances then relaxed posture or cruiser style are the bikes which he should go for.

Re: Help me Choose bike please

Guys , I dropped the idea of buying Yamaha R15 bike because the sitting position is very tough for narrow streets.. and my travel in heavy traffic on narrow streets on daily basis.

So , Guys please help me choose between these three bikes..

1.Pulsar 200 ns
2. Pulsar 220
3. Hero Karizma R or Karizma ZMR 2014..

Wise decision man, you can choose between ns and karizma, the point is which one you liked more, 200ns is quite a good bike, biggest advantage is of 6speed GB and Water cooled engine, mono suspension and perimeter frame, Hero's karizma is still somewhat old in it's newer avtar, the only difference is the slight increase in power plus that fron vertically stocked dual headlamps which have got someone love it someone hate it appearance, take a test ride of 200ns if you haven't ridden it and take a look at karizma also although i doubt about the test ride of the vehicle,as test ride is not available, but you still you can have a go by sitting on the bike and get a feel of the bike, choose only that bike on which you are totally comfortable.

**krishna77** · 06-21-2014, 01:41 PM

Re: Help me Choose bike please

I guess you have more or less decided on P200 by now!
Suits all your requirement. And spend some bucks on good riding gears as this is a more powerful bike than it looks like. Go for it.

Re: Help me Choose bike please

I test ridden every bike.. But Can't Decide because i have a 1 year old TVS Jive and every big bike i tested feels same in comfort and power...

Pulsar 200 NS vs Pulsar 220 and when i buy this bike i will choose black and white color.

So, Help me choose between these 2 bikes guys .. I'm buying next month

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

My more conditions are that i forgot to add in list..

1. I like riding above 80kmph and on highway im able to cruise at speeds 120kmph comfortably.
2. My dad will ride bike and hes 60 years old.
3. I'm a 18 year old +2 Student
4. Not going to change bike for next 4 years
5. daily travel on offroad village roads not the mountain ones , these require a hero impulse to ride there comfortably.
6 . 20 foot wide streets with bikes parked on both sides and pedestrians going and other bikes passing.

Pulsar 220 will cruise on the highway with better wind protection as compared to the naked pulsar 200ns and more comfortable.but 200ns engine is stress free and provide better breaking.your father will.
