    Karizma looks heavy, and not as agile. I am just 62 kg n 5'6". So may not be as controllable. Safety is utmost important 😊

    Once I was rushing to my office, and passed by a standing car. As I was about to pass, the driver suddenly took the car right, which caused my leg guard (rod type) to collide with the car. It got bent, the number of the car 🚗 was displaced. And me? I didn't even have to touch geet on ground to keep balance. I was mighty impressed with the FZ.

      Pulsar 200 or karizma are the bikes on heavier side, and are little bit difficult to control specially for short height people, though once you get used to of the weight of the bike one dosen't finds any trouble in controlling the bike, still i think Fz is best for you and with the newer age Fi , the bike should return decent mileage.

        Please help me also!

        I am looking for my second bike. Current one is 5 year old FZ.

        Age 29
        Height 5'6"
        Weight 62

        Like the handling of my FZ, especially after putting a Dunlop on the rear. No other bike feels so much under control.

        Poor mileage, 35. Purely city riding in Pune.

        Why new bike, and what I need from it:

        Bit more power. Not keen to go 100+.

        Weight n handling should be like fz.

        Mileage at least 40.

        What I can compromise:

        Looks
        Top speed
        Price

        Anything available?

        You can also have a look at RTR 180 ABS, its nimble and very easy to ride and also for your height, it should suit you well and you get the safety of the ABS
        It returns a decent mileage of about 40 kmpl.
        Test ride all the bikes and see for yourself which one you like the most.

          Thank you guys! Will add RTR to my list.

          Looking at the mileage of these bikes, I'm wonder how cars with 1000cc engines and so much more weight give 15-20 kmpl!

            @fatichar RTR 180 will serve your purpose well as you mentioned you want more power and a mileage of 40. RTR 160 will give you mileage of 45.

            I like the build quality of RTR myself and it sure is very easy to handle in traffic.

            NS 200 also gives a mileage around 38-40 but for your height it may not fit.

              i visited yamaha showroom today and saw all the variants of FZ version 2, although blue color was looking good in pics, but i found moonwhite red more stylish...
              red and white combination was looking better than black blue.
              and seats in the new fz are very very comfortable...both for rider and pillion...its very comfortable...pillion seat is very big..very wide..i think the seat height for rider is little low..will it cause problems for people like me? (6ft) ..
              test ride was not available for now..but he was saying that demo bike will be available before rakshabandhan...
