I'm highly confused with these two bikes... My priorities are
1. Decent Power (I owned 2007 Karizma R)
2. Good touring capabilities (Upright seating posture, wind shield, Semi or Fully faired etc.)
3. Engine should be smooth (if not butter smooth at least while cruising at 100 kmph)
4. Decent pillion comfort
5. Price less than 2 Lacs on road
Suzuki Gixxer SF - All my priorities met in this bike EXCEPT Power.. Just madly in love with this bike but doesn't last long in practical life with machines .. have test ridden it and felt hell very very comfortable than Karizma.. excellent low and mid range... could ride in high speeds... rode at 70 kmph max 3rd gear... and boy... hardly any vibrations in the foot pegs... Must salute Suzuki for such a high class engine... since i've not ridden this bike in high speed.. not sure if it's good cruising at 100 kmph...
Pulsar RS 200 - Everything is good except Engine refinement and build quality.. Though the NVH levels are less compared to NS... i heard that vibes are still there... i cannot bear more vibes... especially on handle bar and seat... and other thing is build quality... it was below average... there was panel gaps and inconsistent fit and finish... also read in reviews that after only thousand kilometers... you'll hear the fearing humming which is really annoying at times... and the BAJAJ PULSAR brand... i have also heard that after 2-3 years .. the engine vibrates more... and also the maintenance starts... are they really improved now in terms of engine refinement is the big question for me...
Pulsar AS 200 - Good bike except that it's not fuel injected and refinement is less as compared to RS (i heard / read the reviews). and the usual pulsar brand comes in a way to take 1 step back when i think about the engine....
Not sue... Should I go with Gixxer SF just for the love of this bike... is it really less powerful as compared to Karizma... OR should I go for the Pulsar RS200 ???
