RE has suspension on the stiffer side. Also, despite being a good bike, an Enfield will give you vibes - which will transform into your spine.
BTW, SZ-RR has one of the best suspensions you can think of.

You should take out Avenger Street 220 and put in Avenger Cruse 220 since it has a longer handle bar and a better seating posture which will not hurt your back. Stay away from bikes that make you lean a little forward.

I had a ZMR earlier. But, even it used to hurt my back after sometime (say around 30 min). Now, purchased a Duke 390. Never have had to face backpain again till now.! Duke has a very comfortable position.

It's not just about the suspension. It's a combination of the suspension, seating posture and the seat material. So make a wise decision.

And no matter what, you will need to take breaks in between. Even if it's just standing at a signal for 50-60 seconds.

Should I wait for RE Himalayan? Is it worth the wait?

Re: Best bike for people having Backpain.

RE Himalayan has Mono Shock which might not be very helpful in this case (back pain) .
Generally Dual Shocks are better compared to Mono Shock in absorbing vibes / shocks.
But would differ from manufacturers.
I have felt P220F to have a very soft suspension and was a comfy ride.

Re: Best bike for people having Backpain.

Even the old generation unicorn offered superior comfort. But didn't find that level of comfort in the new unicorns.

Thanks for approving the thread.

The problem is not with the cushioning of the seat of the bike. The problem is the SUSPENSION.

I think a bike with good suspension setup is what I need.
I have heard that Royal Enfield bikes have good suspension. Other bikes which I have shortlisted are Yamaha FZ, Honda Unicorn Suzuki Gixxer, Bajaj Avenger Street 220, Honda CBR 250R.

Trust me the seat cushion plays a big role but let's address the suspension issue. From my own personal experience

yamaha FZ has a good suspension but it is a bit too soft which means the bike almost just sits down on the wheel when you're carrying a pillion, but maybe they fixed that in the new lot.

Honda Unicorn is a good work horse trust me I own one but the seat and suspension are not even close to comfortable. In fact the seat will feel like a wedge between the two sides of your backside on long rides and the suspension though softer than any duel shock absorber bike is by no means soft and I own a 2014 duke 390 which is infamous for having a stiff suspension and I find my duke has a softer suspension by comparison. My opinion only and others may think differently.

Suzuki Gixxer. i personally never rode one but I heard good things so test ride it for best results.

Bajaj avenger 220 is like a sofa with wheels. The duel rear shocks are admittedly a bit stiff but the overall ride is just so comfortable that you won't even notice. Be warned that it is a Bajaj and will have niggling issues. Its kinda their trademark.

CBR 250R is a proper touring sport bike and has a comfy suspension and a good seat (not as good as an avenger though) but the keyword here is 'SPORT' which means a committed albeit not as committed as some other bikes seating position which has been the cause of many a backaches in the past.

But again I'll say that the suspension is only half the story (Unless you do dirt biking to commute to work and back daily) the seat plays a vital role too.

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,
I am Nirmal, 22 from Kannur, Kerala. Iam currently using 2014 model Bajaj Pulsar 200NS.

As I am suffering from a lower back pain problem, I am planning to buy another bike.

Can you please suggest me a bike of engine capacity ranging between 150cc and 500cc which can be used in bad road conditions /bumpy roads that offers best comfort?

If budget is not an issue then go for R3 or TNT300.I think R3 would be a nice option though.
Since you are used to NS which has good power so anything below the powerband of NS will make you feel not to drive it at all coz you will feel its a bit slow.It s the human tendency - "Once you have a taste of good things you wouldnt want to go back "
Your search should start from Duke 200 to Yamaha R3(Includes Benelli TNT300)

Re: Best bike for people having Backpain.

Nothing would be better than Inazuma. I was not able to drive long in my Skoda car, which is maintained very well. But after buying Inazuma, I don't have any problem. I did 200 kms ride in a stretch.

Re: Best bike for people having Backpain.

I have been seeing good reviews about Benelli TNT 300. In all reviews, there are good opinions about the rear monoshock suspension. But their poor dealership network is holding me back.
