        inazuma is going to be shutdown next year. Check out Yamaha FZS FI. i dont think you need more power in bangalore roads. I have the same purchased it 2.5months back. even i travel for almost 60kms every day.

          RTR 180 ABS all the way.Has only 5-10 Km/h lower Top Speed but gives you 40-45 KM.L Mileage.

            Are you both sure that Apache will suit highways?
            It will take forever to reach its top speed WITH vibrations which we cannot be managed at high speeds. And Apache being a Naked bike, wind blast will make the rider and the bike fall down because it is much less in weight.

            What I will recommend is wait for Pulsar 200 SS or if you're impatient, go for Karizma ZMR. I believe RC200 has a very very aggressive riding position (back breaking position).
            I will also suggest RE TBTS 350 but reliability and 150 kmph top speed are question marks.

              That was funny so duke being lighter than rtr will fly off due to wind? :P
              And no it doesn't take forever to reach its top speed.

                Hello,

                If looks can be compromised a little consider the new Karizma ZMR facelift model It suits your needs well. Also you can take a naked bike and fit with a windshield to avoid headwind. But I doubt the crosswind problem which is not devastating. But just doesn't give you much confidence. Try, thinderbird 350/500 or bajaj avenger! Gixxer is a very good bike for city but again the windblast is the irritating aspect on highway or speeds above 60-70kmph. Just spoils your cruising mood.

                Thanks!
