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.

    Hmm. Actually I'm not a fan of Rtr, too short handle bike, and karizma is just old karizma with new fairing , no engine upgrades or gear changes, same bike in different skin :banghead: . As a kid wanted to buy karizma, but the bike didn't evolved a bit other than fairing changes

      Bro I'm settled for fzs fi. R15 is simply not for me cause budget doesn't support it also a new bike is always better than an old/used bike.

        The only downside you are not upgrading since you already own a pulsar 150.
        If you are OK with the lesser power then you can settle for Fz

          RTR is a fun bike. light weight and easy to handle. downside is vibrations.

          the new zma r is extremely quick and can easily touch 130 and it;s faster than old bike. if you can live with the odd looks. actually looks better in reality. the zma puts 19.2 bhp compared to the old 17 bhp engine. it's got tubeless tyre and fatter rear than the old bike.

          If you wanna go for r15, get a new bike.

          any new bike will ensure you trouble free ownership.

            I would say anything less than 20bhp isn't a worthy upgrade from a 150cc. .!!
            Stick to old bike if you can't .

              Karizma is heavy for me a bit. After riding duke 200, I came to know that stability doesn't come from a ton of iron crap but from a light nimble and fatter tyre bikes. Also the karizma has the swingarm parallel to the bike (see sideways of the bike) whereas fzsfi has a little downward hanging swingarm which gives racetech handling. read it somewhere on a magazine about swingarm types and different angle at which it is connected to the bike and the rear tyre.

                            Hey brothers went for test drive yesterday of both gixxer and fz v2 . price difference is around 6000 rupees. Also the Yamaha engine and clutch is butter smooth, powerful horn, but I felt low confidence on fz because the headlamp assembly is situated higher than gixxer. Also the gixxer is having knocking sounds above 6k rpm (maybe due to test vehicle) and hard clutch than fz , weak horn, but accelerates like hell, initial acceleration is linear but past 4500 starts to pull up crazy. Disk brakes are better than fz . and man it looks far better than fz in real, you need to see it to believe it. Gixxer also has a clock which is not mentioned anywhere. Verdict: gixxer if u want a sporty highway tourer cause less strain on hands due to riding position, fz for city commute cause it lacks high end punch. And yeah gixxer gives you the big bike feel and looks like a triumph Daytona from the upfront.

                              So, undecided yet?
                              Take your time and choose patiently.

                                Test ride pulsar 200NS too.
                                Remember that the TR bike will be using bajaj oil so the engine may sound gruff .
