Hello everyone,
I am a college student and am looking to buy my first bike, I'm a bit confused and need your help.
I don't know much about bikes and need some guidance.
I am looking to buy a reliable and comfortable daily city commuter ( < 150 cc) with a decent mileage(about 55-60 kmpl). The bike should be comfortable for the pillion rider also.
My budget is about 75000 Rs.
My daily route is of about 20 km with occasional long rides.
I'm 5'4".
I mentioned only the Pulsar 135 LS and Shine SP in the title because I have looked and test driven almost all bikes within the 125 - 150 cc range, and I think that the Pulsar 135 LS and Shine SP are probably the best bikes available in the 125 - 150 cc range. (Please tell me if there is a better alternative)
I have also thought about the Bajaj V12, but I think the Pulsar handles really well as compared to the V12 (probably because of its low ride height).
I really like the way the Pulsar looks (so I'm a bit biased towards P135), but I am worried that it might be somewhat uncomfortable for longer rides because you have to lean forward a bit.
Should I consider the Shine instead of Shine SP ?
Is there a difference in mileage ?
The Shine SP has CBS, is this a significant advantage ?
Or is there some better alternative ?
