    The Ninja 3G is modular helmet and its opening part is very weak. It breaks very easily and this can be very dangerous in case of an accident.
    I have used this helmet for over an year before i bought Shifter and would not recommend it.

    Ride safe and have fun.

      My 3g broke instead on the side where the lid attaches to the body of the helmet. Will post a pic.

        Shifter any day .:thumbup::thumbup:
        With 6000 kms of exp+200ns.
        After this, I'm never going for single visor helmets .

          Yamaha FZ FI v2.0 is a much better option.I purchased FZ FI in August'2014 and i am very much happy with overall performance.As we all know that Yamaha never compromises with the quality.The muscular look is more sharp and looks really good,The split seats are a welcome change and adds more sporty look to the bike.Overall its a very well built machine

          Following are my bike pics.I really like my FZ FI " Lord of the streets "

            Do test ride the Fz before opting for it .
            Its not an upgrade from a 150cc pulsar so think twice .

            For 90+k why not hunt for a used R15 will be reliable as well .
            Fz Fi is an option if you don't mind being low on power and confined to city run.

              Go to Wellington Square. It's between Sealdah and Esplaned. There are at least 15-20 shops selling helmets. Go to the 2 big shops(can't remember the names- sorry) located in the bylane just opposite to the petrol pump. Also, you can check out in the few shops in and around for a better bargain. In Kolkata/WB, Wellington Square can be called as the ultimate destination for anything related to biking. Cheers!

              [MENTION=57323]krishna77[/MENTION] : thanks bro . I'll check out Wellington soon after the purchase of the bike .
              [MENTION=60608]nadz11.ns[/MENTION] yeah bro you're right on the modular part, its not safe actually. And I look more of an astronaut than a biker in the ninja 3g

                Don't show such pics, or else I might steal your bike and ride it all day long

                    Second hand r15 hard to get in good condition, less mileage also. Any good one selling in Kolkata let me know. 2014 model .

                      Hunt in online portals for individual sellers .
                      Get an 2012 model which is moderately used .
                      Only thing you have to check is whether its involved in a accident or not.
                      Good luck.
                      Do test ride all bikes that fits in your budget , looking at pictures and deciding is like infatuation which may fade away soon.

Don't know about Kharagpur but in Kolkata, it's very tough to find a Suzuki showroom and spare parts. One of the main drawbacks for FZ was mileage. That has been taken care of to some extent in V2.0 by adding FI.
                          Also, by now, you must have known the the eagerly awaited Honda 160cc is nothing but a weird looking upgrade of the legendary Unicorn. IMO, they have not done justice to the beautiful machine by this 'upgrade'. But, if it suits your style, you can have a look.
                          My vote would go for FZ V2.0 anyway.
                          Best of luck!

                            Seems good on pic. But take a mechanic with you while checking the bike.
                            A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

                              How about the RTR 180 ABS ? It is Tested,Awesome build City and Track Machine.You can get one with ABS for under a Lakh.It will beat the FZ,Fazer,R15,CBR 150R Up and Down with all that 17.3 Bhp ! I will come close to the Pulsar 200 NS,220F and Duke 200,but though has better Buid quality than the Pulsars.Please consider that.

                                you can also consider the tried and tested, pulsar 220 and karizma r. both are better than yamaha FZ in power and seatin space. I found the FZ not so good when it comes to accomdating rider and pillion.
