    Very true...
    The shocks are transferred to your spine. Also to make the pillion really comfy you will need to cushion the seats a bit.
    I can vouch for the grip and handling. Its not a perfect bike, has its pros and cons. Any specific questions, feel free to PM.
    As somebody suggested, test ride all (make sure its a long test ride) and decide.

      Test Ride : I felt comfortable to discuss this with fellow xBhpians than take a small test ride from the company. Attend a g2g in your city. You can have better insight into these things. You can also test ride any bike you would want to in the g2g..you can have ownership experiences shared with you...it will surely help you decide. Ensure you take into account how old the bike is / usage / maintanence...

        nobody suggesting yamaha r15,won't it suit my requirements?

          HH is selling Karizmas now more than what they initially sold. Lots of Zma's on the roads now. Spares are not going to be a problem for at least four more years. Remeber the bike is from Hero Honda.

            yes i'm also seeing lot of new karizma R in Ranchi.is there any variant of karizma(fuel injected,tubeless tyres,reardiscetc., like that)launch is on cards?
            happy to hear if anyone buy karizma,no prob for atleast 4years for service & spares.that's more than enough buddy.what is meant by g2g?

            i heard apache rtr 80 will be released within 3 months

            @vinfreak
            i enquired three dealers of kinetic,all are telling kinetic comet & aquila are no more in sales in india. one dealer also told mahindra takeover kinetic motors.so,comet and aquila are out of choice buddy

              i don't know where to post this,may be you can guide because you may consider this as ot.
              i just had an eye on apache rtr fi (mainly new 180cc 0r 200 -will be launch)also.eventhough it is not for touring,many people are doing long rides on rtr also.

              just now ispoke to marketing manager ,specific for apache.he told apache 180 menace will launch be on may 2009.and i asked abt news spreading abt 200 cc with ABS,he told there is no plan to launch 200cc with abs,he can't commit that and he told this also.
              " apache 180 cc will be carb version & no fi will be launched.only apache rtrfi 160 will remain technologically superior with fi etc." this is hios words.

                avenger 200 is good for cruising,karizma or the THUNDERBIRD Twin spark for ultimate biking

                    If cruisers suit ur taste then definitely go for avenger 200. Else karizma is good enough
