    Hi guys!

    Coming to this thread again makes me kinda nostalgic. The last time i came here to ask about what bike should i choose between 220 and R15. Anyways, lets cut the chase.
    I have ridden the 220 for past 5 years now. And she is still brand new. However, now after all this while, i am looking for a change. With a budget of upto 5lacs, i am again spoilt for a choice between these three bikes: the Ninja, the R3 and the benelli 300. My requirement would be mostly city riding and occasional touring.

      Hey guys! Been a long time since the last update. Some unfortunate incidents distracted my mind. To begin with, have been posted last year to UP where the traffic, driving sense and road conditions are not at all that good. So all the plans were put on hold. But the itch to buy a bigger bike has only grown over the period of time. Coming to the present scene, Yamaha R3 shall shortly launch 2017 year models. What shall be the option for me if it is launched without ABS considering the fact that ABS is compulsory from April 2018 onwards? Also, is there any option to install hazard lights in R3?

      Further, any other options that have come up recently in competition with R3 which may be considered??

          All three are good bikes IMO, though I would suggest you be cautious about Benelli due to their partnership issues and servicing center availability. You cannot go wrong with either R3 or the N3 though you will get a slightly higher quality at higher price with N3 the maintenance costs are slightly higher than R3. What you like after riding them should be your priority rather than the other factors which are secondary as far as these bikes are concerned.

            Hi friends!

            An altogether different idea has cropped up in my mind and I am getting inclined towards HD Street 750 due to comfortable riding stance and a good engine. Heat shields from MK Designs shall do the job of saving me from having tandoori thighs and enable me to use the machine as a daily commuter. The braking issues also seem to be sorted out by HD and the latest versions come with ABS as well.

            Would love to hear from existing owners (of 2017 and later models) about their ownership experiences!

            P.S.: The budget has now been increased to about Rs. 6.00 lakhs!
