  • Help choose a bike for my friend!

    Hello All,
    Need suggestions for a new bike for my friend.
    He is 22, weighs around 65, height 5' 10", needs a bike for daily commuting to office (20kms round trip) and for rides on weekends.
    Budget is around 1.2L, fuel economy expected around 40kmpl.

    Some of the shortlisted bikes are:
    1) Pulsar NS200: Powerful, stylish, don't know about the mileage!?
    2) TVS Apache 200 Fi: Powerful, Fi, again don't know about the mileage.

    Or should he go with lower CC bikes?

      The new pulsar 200ns has got abs. That or the Suzuki gixxer SF ABS would be my first choice in the 1L range. Also ask him to try the Hornet CBS and the Yamaha FZ16.

        Both ns200 & apache 200 are in your friends budget. But milage vise you can't expect more than 35kmpl in 200cc bikes. If it's OK for your friend tell him to go with this options.

        If he considers milage then he has to check in 150cc segment. Like gixxer sf (single channel abs), Fz16, hornet.

        My choice will be gixxer sf. Because it has look, milage, power & also comes with ABS.
