    Re: Help and advice required to choose a new Bike..In a completely confused state now !!!

    Hello, I have been a keen follower of some of the ownership threads for the past month. I stay in Delhi and my usage would be a to and fro 30km ride to office maybe twice a week max (office cab on other days ) and a lot of weekend driving. Also, i plan on taking long rides on highways once a month, once it cools down a bit here. Just to clarify that roads in delhi are pretty good.

    I have this affinity towards faired bikes as well as cruisers, due to which I shortlisted the RS200 and RC200. (I have a thing for the thunderbird 350 as well, but reading all about the rusting issues and oil leaks and high maintenance have scared me). the dealers here wont give a test ride on the rs200. I have absolutely loved the RC200, ridden a friends bike a few times. however, long rides (300km a day) may be a problem (as ive read on posts everywhere). the RS however feels the most vfm, made for the typical indian and feels a balanced bike. If bajaj only made it a little more sharp in looks, nd not this bloated, i wud have probably bought it by now.

    Any suggestions ? as per my riding requirements, which will be the better bike, (rc being 40k costlier). also, i am 5feet8, hit the gym regularly and consider myself fairly fit(in regards to back and wrist pains on RC)
