Hello Guys, I hope this one is not repeated or duplicate of any existing Thread.
Since long I was anticipating a move to a different state and hence kept the decision of buying a new bike on the back burner. Now that I have moved to HYD I am buying a new bike. There are THREE choices that I am swinging between and they are as follows: (and EACH OF THESE three are different breed of bikes, I know).
I would also like to put My Perspective into words out here so you can understand the thought that has gone into narrowing down to These Three options and can help me out choosing ONE out of them.
This one is chosen purely out of the Heart. I completely and absolutely, love this bike and the likes of it. Apart from that:-
Pros
Cons
Honda CBR is the most Logical Choice to me. And I like this bike and the Honda Reliability that comes with it.
Pros
Cons
Duke was chosen for its Street fighter nature and Sharp Handling abilities as well as light High Power to Weight ratio.
ProsConsLet me go over the FAQs:
My budget is within INR 2Lacs, I am 31yrs old. I am 6 feet tall and weigh 95 Kilos.
Intended usage is city commuting and occasional long drives, with the office commute being 104Kms of return trip, Daily through free roads as well as through traffic. This will be my second bike and the 5th two wheeler over the course of 16 odd yrs. The bike Will Not be used for grocery runs and errands as I have another bike for that purpose.
Pillion comfort is pretty much a deciding factor as I do expect to ride with my better half at least 25% of the time if not always.
At present I stay at HYD. And nothing much about fuel efficiency as the bikes I have narrowed down to, have pretty much similar fuel efficiency. Bike should be pocket friendly to maintain too in terms of periodic service and cost of consumables.
(PS: if this is not a thread violation, kindly also suggest a good dealer/Reliable Authorized Service Centre for the choices. I am at Pin Code 502032 at RC Puram in HYD)
