    Re: Comfortable bike for a back pain victim

    [MENTION=29134]Satyamzma[/MENTION] - a pre-owned impulse w/ a karizma engine plonked in it will do the trick for u or else a well worshipped unicorn. others listed by u might not serve the expected purpose IMHO

      Finally decided to go for Unicorn 150. I also test ridden hornet but found the seating & handlebar position way too sporty.

      the RE Electra is a good option since it has 19" wheels that glide over bumps which 17" wheels might slightly struggle with.
      Bullet is heavy, but as long as you balance it, you should fine.
      My previous bike was Electra & only seat was comfortable ,suspension is hard overall its not a comfortable bike for city use.

        Fz seems to be the best option
        I rode dazzler which was the precrder of hornet so i can assure that ergonomics arnt great
        Gixxer - service issues otherwise its good enough

          Yes FZ is a great bike but with low fuel efficiency & lack of kicker.

          I got Unicorn 150 & is really comfortable bike,lower back pain due to riding bullet has completely gone now. so far i have ridden 1000 kms on it & its giving me around 55 kmph of mileage which i think is best in 150 cc category.

            Appreciate the feedback I am thinking of getting a Unicorn but still exploring other options.

              Not sure about unicorn. I would suggest to rent Avenger Street/Cruise for couple of hours and take the decision. My friend had same issue, bikes with mono suspension made it worse. So, he had to rent Avenger street for a day and as per him it was comfortable.

              He was about to buy but was asked my someone to wait for Avenger 400/Suzuki Cruisers which are going to launch by next March.

              I would recommend to stay away with mono suspension which might worsen the issue. Good luck

                Oh, I'm not the original poster of this thread. He bought the Unicorn for his back pain, and so far, he's very happy with it.

                I just appreciated him for posting feedback of Unicorn, which I am interested in getting. He's getting 55 kmpl, which is great.

                    May I ask, why not the newer 160cc model?

                      Because 150 model ruling the market since 2005 this engine showed its reliability form 12 years.
                      What you'll be buying will be refinement of 12 years.

                        Suzuki intruder 150 launching in few days, check that out, seems super comfortable

                          I've narrowed it down to Unicorn 160. I did read about Suzuki Intruder 150, but I don't think a cruiser would be able to give me my required mileage.
