[MENTION=82713]asterfoods[/MENTION]...congratulations on your new ride..I did consider TNT 25 ...for myself but the aftersales and cost of maintenance has made me a bit sceptical about the same... Nonetheless.. I have seen the bike and it's a fantastic machine...please feel free to share your experience with me..

Re: Help Me Out - Bike Purchase

My advice would be to take a long ride on all your short listed bikes and then decide for yourself. Each has its own pros and cons which you are well aware of by now. Only thing left to decide is which one appeals the most to you. Barring the looks I feel Mojo is a good package.

Re: Help Me Out - Bike Purchase

Hi BAJRANG,

I hope you have almost made up your mind on your steed. But let me share my points as well

As you are very concerned about the pillion seat comfort and you are yet to finalize on the model, you can also take you wife as pillion when you go for a test ride, little longer one if possible.

And If your wife is not going to be part of most of your travel(read daily commuting), then I would like you to include CBR into the list again.
Not that CBR is not comfortable for daily commute with pillion, just you wife may complain when getting on the bike due to its rear seat height(I get this stare from my wife every time she climbs on it, or anyone for that matter). And due to its sport bike design, pillion rider may not be that comfortable( say as compared to RE's).

having ridden both the bikes, my view is below
-If you go with RE, you will loose the quick acceleration and little higher avg. speed and vibe free for most of the time of CBR.
-If you go with CBR, you may get that look when pillion rider climbs on it and says its not practical bike for a family man.

[MENTION=55003]NIRVANA.[/MENTION].. point noted... I am planning to take test rides during the weekend. Let's see how it goes!!! Mojo is a good package and I was eagerly waiting for it to launch in my city. But was rather disappointed when i saw it for the 1st time. Didn't appeal to me that much..!!!

[MENTION=71959]Iam_Hoodi_CBR[/MENTION] - No my wife is not going to part of my travel all the time. If I have to break it down it'll probably be 80% only me and 20% with my wife as pillion.... However taking care of the pillion comfort for that 20% is very important to have a happy & healthy life . That was the reason I had emphasized on pillion comfort in the first place.
