      Re: Looking for comfortable bike under a lakh.

      So my pulsar 220 has been back after sprocket and battery change. Total damages: Rs.5000.

      In past 6 months or so, I have spent about Rs.20000 in repairs, Mind you both the tyres need change too which will cost me about Rs.7-8k approx.

      Fairing vibration is still there, Bajaj SA told me "ye to rahega hi"

      Will sell the bike soon.

      Now the question: Should I go for FZ25 or save 30k and go for Hornet/Gixxer/FZ16?

      Requirement: Engine refinement, Comfort, Cruising capabilities (90-100kmph)

      Side note: Is the April 2018 deadline for ABS still there?

        [MENTION=32529]Insomnia[/MENTION] - depends on your usage - saving 30k now could prove to be very beneficial should you decide to upgrade to an ABS bike in the future.

        Normal people work for money; financially smart guys make their money work for them..

          Thanks man really appreciate your advice.

          options for me

          1. Sell P220, buy Unicorn 160 and save 40K and later upgrade to higher capacity bike and keep unicorn for daily commute.

          2. Sell P220 and buy FZ25 now and sell FZ25 at a later date and then upgrade to higher capacity bike with better safety equipment.

          Im in a fix. Lets see how things pan out.

            [MENTION=32529]Insomnia[/MENTION] - the gixxer SF has ABS, although single channel. Are you considering it?

              No bro. No fairing bikes for me period. Cant live with noise and vibration any more after P220.

              Which one is better in terms of engine refinement Hornet/Gixxer/FZ16?

                      Will definitely test drive it.

                      How is the engine refinement in FZ/Gixxer/Hornet/RTR200?

                        Well in rtr200 till 9500 rpm u won't feel any vibration. After that a slight buzz u will notice on the foot pegs.... But let me tell u its one of the most refined 200cc bikes out there.

                          Dino's vault did a video on RTR200 FI.

                          Has all the good thing to say about it.

                            I have a the same question. A friend is looking for a bike strictly for commuting to work. He is 44 and will be riding on Bangalore's notoriously crowded Bannarghatta Road to reach MG Road.
                            Using a car is ruled out - he doesn't have the time.

                            He was using a Gixxer but suffered from back pains and his knees aren't what they used to be. He would prefer to stretch his legs.

                            I have suggested that he gets a scooter, but the wheels are too small to handle bumps.
                            What do you folks suggest - a Unicorn 150, Uni 160 or Avenger (large turning radius).
                            Would a Bullet Electra be comfortable - I have suggested he swap out the standard shocks for Continental's Paolis.

                            My reasons for suggesting the Unicorn 150 or 160 are - forward pegs, soft suspension, light clutch and lower weight.
                            Best

                              Let him test drive Unicorn 160. And one of the most underrated bike is Yamaha SZ-r 2.0. Have him test drive drive it too. Please dont suggest Avenger/RE kinda cruiser, its weight, turning circle and riding posture will make his condition worse.

                              My suggestions:

                              Unicorn 160/150
                              Yamaha SZ-R 2.0

                                Perfect suggestion for the requirements.
                                A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
