      Arnab, I am not a crazy fan of speed so I know I wont be touching 100 'EVER' even on my FZ. I loved riding ( cruising ) my Avenger only cause I loved riding my bikes where it remains under my control. Speed is not my thing, I guess

        If its so then prefer FZ-S V2 FI model to FZ LE. The engine would be more refined and you'd have slightly more mileage too. The Version2 is more well-planned than its predecessor. And the blue-black dual color model looks really sexy. The only drawback is the reduction of power by 1 bHp but hope you won't mind.

            Nothing comes close to the build quality, engine refinement and reliability of Yamaha.
            Brother... You must try pulsar ns...
            20000 kms and it still tears its competition apart...
            FE is 40/35 - city/highway

            Because on highways it seldom rides below 110-120 kmph...

                Sukhi paaji, thanks for the inputs but...

                1) I am not that big a Bajaj fan
                2) Speed is the last thing on my mind
                3) I dont care how many people around me uses Yamaha! I live in Surat and here, you will see every 2nd guy driving Bajaj 200F and other versions. I might give in to the temptation and wait for SS200 but the dealer here says that "1 aur saal tak nahin aayega - likh ke le lo" :P
                4) I am looking for comfort and reliability and I guess Yamaha tops Bajaj in both

                I may save some more and go for RE TB if NOT FZ-S but right now its 80-20 in favor of FZ!

                The seating on 2.0 is something I did not like and it will be tough for my wife to ride if she 'ever' wanna come out with me on a bike.

                Also the difference between both is 'that' major or its something we can manage?

                  Yeah... Yamaha might trump bajaj in comfort... Sadly... Long rides on the NS are pain in ass... And balls too...

                      Dude try zmr 2014 there is a ownership thread in xbhp its the most comfortable and reliable!
                      And you get 20bhp power with a 223cc honda engine..and Hero Brand which has the best resale value!

                        Final update: I've taken the CBZ from my cousin and will use it for 6-12 months. I'll probably have better options after a year. RE TB 350, RE Classic 350, Pulsar SS200, Karizma ZMR etc etc

                        Thank you everyone for the help!
