    my first bike!!!!!!!!:D

    Guys i m goin to purchase my first personnel bike. earlier i was my using dads old LML freedom.

    but m confused on what bike i should go for

    my requirements r nt much
    bt i need bike with avg of 30+(atleast]
    a bike wid power dat can help me in my weekend races
    it shud look good
    good handling
    also my height is 6ft & i find R15 small
    good after sales service
    good resale value
    & reliable & its parts must be lasting(u know what i mean cos i owned a freedom)


    i m considering P200 cos i think as per my requirements its the best i can get .wat do u think guys? shud i go for it or should i consider
    any other bike.
    & also heard about upgrades to be done in P200 in near future should i wait for it?

        I think you should wait a bit 'cause this year we've got a lot new bikes to be rolled out, like you said the new 200 and 220, also we've got the Honda CBR150 PGM-Fi which is speculated to be quite blistering, then you can assess the market with these new models in the fray. Also try out the RTR-Fi and compare with the 200
        I'm too intelligent to the unintended, and too dumb for the obvious.

          The RTR-Fi would be a very good choice, but then, as you say, you might find it quite uncomfortable because of your height. As ELD says, it would be better to wait and go for a bike, since even if you do decided to go only for the 200/220, there is an FI and a facelift version entering the market soon.

          Swiggy Mayhem!
          We're trying to start an initiative where we're gathering enough photos or videos
          of erratic Swiggy/Zomato/UberEats riders across all cities so we can cast a spotlight
          on this issue and try and sort it out. If you video-record as you ride, or have a
          dash-cam in your car, or can take SAFELY photographs of instances where these riders
          are creating a nuisance by riding recklessly on the roads, PLEASE share the same with
          us on the thread above. Appreciate it!

            RTR is a very a compact bike. It would be very crapped for a 6 footer.

                thx fr ur replys
                yes bro's its right i have ridden RTR its nt comfortable for me
                also wid my height my physique is bulky too so RTR is outta question

                also i heard abt the TVS menace what do u guys think dis bikes will be launched @ wat time cos my elder bro waited 2.5 yrs for P220
                & in the end i found dat bike a bit creepy & think abt my avg needs too

                  Is the R15 really uncomfortable for taller people. I was looking at this bike keenly and wanted to test it but problem is my weight which ranges from 100-120 kgs lol and slightly tall.

                  Will this bike be totally unsuitable for me ? I have no past bike experience except LML T5 ridden around 10 years ago. And am really keen on R15, just that I don't want to repent after buying it.

                    How can weight range from 100-120 ?

                    R15 with pillion feels out of breath a lot and since ur also Tall it wont suit you .Try getting someones r15 for a test ride and ride it hard and see how you feel at 90+and heavy leaning .

                    Else i suggest Pulsar 220 or bullet

                      hehe .. because I just lose weight as easily as I gain it.

                      Additionaly I also have my father who might ride pillion ocassionaly. He is not tall, only 5'5 or thereabouts. Also I am getting rather old and jaded and haven't thought about marriage yet, so I also need a chick magnet bike and thus I have an eye on some attention from that quarter as well.

                      thus the reason I insisted on R15. I usually don't really go fast, rarely over 70 to 80 and never really race. Will it feel out of breath even then, or is it just the low-end pickup which might feel like TVS moped ?

                        Actually R15 shows its true colours only after 60Kmph .with above 160Kgs weight it will struggle a lot in city .[assuming dad's 60]

                        since you not gonna ride Fast and want a good looking bike take a test ride with dad on someones pulsar 220 .It has ample torque for u and pillion and looks great too.

                        and lose some weight if you wanna attract girls to you instead of you bike

                          Just fascination with Jap bike made me ignore our ghar kee murgi. Also Yam R15 isn't very common where I live, but happen to see lots of Pulsars on the road. Shifted out of Delhi just a few months ago.

                          Will also test ride the GSR150, 220 DTS-FI, and R15 and go for whichever catches me fancy.

                          Sir it is 100 kgs of muscle.
