  • Confused between pulsar rs200 ABS and duke 390

    I'm in bit of a confusion here. I'm upgrading to a better bike from my pulsar 180 (2nd genl). I'm about 5ft 5" tall. I have ridden duke 390 and its comfortable for a short guy like me. But I prefer buying RS200 as its more affordable in my case. But its height and considerable weight (165 kg) restrains me from taking a decision here. My requirement is a good balance between touring and city ride. Also heard that with pillion RS 200 is a bit difficult for a short person in cities. Please help.

    Query Approved

    I have a few friends who are of that height and they have no problems riding Adventure Tourers like the V-Strom, Tiger, GS1200 etc!

    It's just a matter of getting habituated i guess.
    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!
