I have been dreaming up to own a superbike for the last 2 years. It started with the 600i, affordable, but I test rode a striple and 600i just did not seem to cut it. Striple seemed out of budge with 9+ lac on road. But then I test rode the tiger and things were not the same anymore. It was super comfortable for Indian roads.
I have not ridden a bike regularly for the last 3 years now, but I feel a sense of freedom when I am on it. I have test ridden the 600i, striple, rented out a tiger for a day long tour and also owned a VFR 800 when I was in US. I love to pull the throttle but also be able to ride comfortably for long range of times. That is why I am settling on adventure tourers as the category that will help me be comfortable, but be sporty when I need it.
90% of my ride is going to be city. I may go out on a 100-150 km ride on a weekend every 2 months. I have always dreamt of doing a longer ride, but did not have an able companion to do it and probably if I have something in my stable, I will just go and do it.
I want the bike to be comfortable for both the rider and the pillion - my wife is going to be using it and till my daughter is old enough to sit independently with me. I want the bike to be easy to maintain and reasonable service cost/spare parts.
My budget is about 15 lacs. Now looking at comparison between Tiger vs Multistrada vs R1200GS, is there something which the experts will advise on. Is there a bike I have not considered? I am at Hyderabad so unfortunately have not been able to test ride the Multistrada or R1200 GS.
