Re: Purchase new bike

Previously i have bajaj pulsar 150cc dtsi. and i had a good experience when i drive it but its need to much care it always need servicing and thats too bad experience about it. Now i need to buy a bike which have a powerfull engine above 200cc, low maintenance and also good for long drives.

Re: Purchase new bike

You may test drive:
Mahindra Mojo
Bajaj Dominar
FZ 25
RTR 200

All above have decent km/l for their size and not too heavy in after sales service. I think these 2 factors take care of the low maintenance part.
I have driven all except FZ25 and can vouch for their ability for long drives.

You can exclude Dominar as you may want to shift from Bajaj to something else.

Re: Purchase new bike

Ok i'll take test ride of these bikes and can you tell me cbr250 is not as good as these bikes. Bcoz u didn't prefer cbr250.

Re: Purchase new bike

CBR 250 is not liked by some due to the old design. But most people who buy the CBR use it for long distance touring, 500-1000 kms a day. The forward seating position means you have less shocks to your spine, as well as the benefit of less wind blast.

CBR ABS model is totally worth the extra cash. Just keep in mind that the brake pads for the ABS model cost around ₹2000.

With one of the best cooling systems in the 200-250cc class, the CBR 250 can munch miles in the blistering heat, running on just mineral oil. The service interval for CBR250 is 6000 kms or 6 months.


I have the CBR 250 2012 model and it's been a sweet ride. It got a decently heavy weight that stabilizes the bike at highway speeds of 140+. Knee downs are totally possible on this bike.


Do take a test ride and find out if it suits you. Also check out the Dominar. It's a paisa vasool bike.

Re: Purchase new bike

First of all sorry guys bcoz my english is not so good.

I don't take a test ride of dominar400 right now and definitely take it but i personally don't like it's sitting position of it. I like sitting position of cbr250 and other bike which are likely to downward towards handel ...

Re: Purchase new bike

Have you seen the new duke 390? Quite a bike that, but the CBR is a tried and tested machine, even a ktm owner who owns a service center was praising my bike because of the engine and comfort levels.

Re: Purchase new bike

Personally.... i don't like the look of ktm duke 390 and its sound too.

Re: Purchase new bike

I may be wrong but i think the cbr bsIV models are not yet in market. So you can wait fot that.

Secondly you have a good budget for a good bike so set your priorities and go for test drives. Then only make your decisions..

Friends above have actually given you great options in your budget.
