Hello guys , Some previous days ago i was looking for a bike under 1 lac. But my parents agreed to by me bigger bike because my cousins got big bikes too and they dont want me behind.Im Punjabi.

CBR 250 Out of list. Im not focusing in top speed guys.. I have outrun a Stunner and Discover 150 on my TVS Jive. My dad sold stunner and when i ridden stunner the pulsar 150 have no chance to catch me. I RIDE IN FULL SAFETY , IM YOUNG BUT I KNOW MY LIMITS AND I ALWAYS PREFER SAFETY. IM ONLY ONE IN MY AREA WHO KNOWS COUNTER STEERING.. Thanks to Xbhp for posting safety threads. I test ridden duke 200 today and found it very good for my handling style.My foot are grounded when sitting on pulsar 200 ns bit i dont feel them grounded when sitting at NS , why ?CBR 150 and KTM 200 owners please post here how you ride bike in city , how this two bikes handle at narrowest city streets ?There is a turn in village where is main way to our fields , The turn is small canal bridge with no side guards and bridge is 15 foot wide only , Road is broken and its a 90 degree turn , which bike is good with that turn . My dad goes to farm everyday from that turn.

LoL.. Had it been my parents, they would have asked "Your Cousins have scored better marks than you and earn more than you".

Usually, faired bikes don't do good in roads filled with Potholes.. the fairing mounts come out of their position and the plastic starts rattling. I don't think it will be a good option to get a Faired bike if you ask me. unless you love them.. If you do, then CBR250 with no doubt unless you are looking for Fuel Economy..




I hope you aren't serious about this.

Anyways. 140 kmph is a bit too much to ask for from the Karizma ZMR.. it can at max do 134 kmph..

To Be Honest, 140 kmph is a bit too fast if you ask me.. unless you can handle the bike at that speed.. to satisfy this requirement, you will have to again go with the CBR250.. unless you can spend 2L and get the Duke 390 which is just another 30K more than the CBR250.. "Speed Thrills, but Kills"



Did I just read Vibrator?



To be honest, riding any bike is safe as long as you ride it safely.. but if you are really concerned about slippery roads, get yourself a Duke 390.. comes with ABS and best factory fitted tires..

The tires play an important role in safety as well...

All in All, test ride all these bikes and take your decision. Remember, it is you who is going to be riding the bike.. Not the person who is suggesting you.. you shouldn't feel why didn't I listen to my heart..

Reneav Duke 390 for a noob, Are you serious??? Anyways you wont get your license the same day you turn 18 , it's not sold readymade. Jokes apart, Buy a good helmet first, preferrably ISI/DOT/ECE certified one.
The top speed thing was the one I couldn't digest along with pathholes, assuming that you live in India.
You mentioned that your Paa is used to riding Bullets, well All the bikes you have mentioned are way faster than Bullet, have a lot more feedback from throttle when compared to Bullets.

Pathholes + Duke = Blown Shocker Seals if you dont pay attention to its maintenance.
As far as topspeed is concerned, only CBR 250 does 150+kmph among the three and I'm talking about true top speeds, not speedo crap.

Give a thought to Pulsar 200NS, its the duke 200 itself indifferent clothes and can take Indian roads.

PS: Stay away from the Duke 390, its not a bike you learn riding on.

He wanted a bike with good grip [emoji3] as the village roads are slippery.. making me wonder if the roads are made out of ice or mud hence the d390.. and not to forget top speed.. he said he rides his Jive at 90kmph which works as a VIBRATOR. D390 comes with the best safety features in India.. ABS and the best grippy tires..

Regarding your query about how it will handle in narrow streets, I ride a Duke 200, and it will be pretty much flickable and you can ride it with ease in such conditions.But let me tell you something, once you wack open the throttle on this machine, it turns into a firey monster, to which the power of Discovers and Jives cannot be compared with. If you are unprepared, it can be pretty unforgiving. So, the point is, if you go for Duke 200, you can surely win small races with everyone around, but it only takes one single time to be caught off guard. CheersAkshay

Okay okay i apologize asking about good top speed, please stop discussion about top speed..All i need is outright performance because our town is hell at night , When i goto town at night for some work i see extremely aggressive bike riders , They tend to chase you and abuse you for race.. I dont wanna race with them but i want to be away from them..Now i came into two bikes , Duke 200 or CBR 150.Please CBR 150 and Duke 200 owners tell me how the bike handles in daily bumper 2 bumper traffic , Please dont tell me about heating issue i can bear that , I always wear knee guards and elbow guards under my clothing for safety. I always wear jeans..

Im not getting a bike for races and i know what duke can do , I never ride and push a bike to limits unprepared. Even if you ride a 125cc bike unprepared it can be very dangerous.

Im riding bike for 2 years , I got Studds helmet , knee guards and elbow guards ,i have learning license...Whos says im buying D390 lol..I WANT TO BUY PULSAR 200 NS , MY FEET ARE PLANTED ON THE ROAD WHEN SITTING ON PULSAR 200 , BUT I FEEL THAT THEY ARE NOT PLANTED ON WHY ?

AFAIK, P200NS'S saddle height is 805mm and DUKE200's saddle height is 810mm (not sure), thats the reason your feet are not planted on ground when on a Duke. . Go for 200NS, its a great bike. I can't feel the difference though as I'm 6'1", for 5'7" + it shouldn't be a problem i guess.Sent from my GT-S5360 using xBhp Connect mobile app[/QUOTEYou are wrong ..cmy feets are well planted on duke 200 .. They are well planted on pulsar 200 ns too .. But i dont feet my feel my feet planted when sitting on pulsar 200

Wait a minute. Clear something for me here. Your feet touch the ground pretty well on both duke and NS but not on pulsar 200. Is that correct, what you meant? By pulsar 200, you mean the old gen pulsars rite.

No i mean Pulsar 200 Ns , My feet touch both NS and Duke , But i dont feel my feet planted on Pulsar 200 NS.

My dad is a full faired bike fan and royal enfield fan.. My dad seen Duke 200 and he thinks duke is a bad racer bike by looking at its design.. How to tell Dad that duke is not bad as he thinks ? .. My dad says buy Pulsar 220 instead of Duke.. But P220 feels heavy to handle in busy traffic . I tried telling dad good points about safety and and handling of Duke but he still thinks that duke is prone to accidents.
