  • Help me decide :)

    Hello all,
    I've been riding bikes since a long time now have completed 2lakh kilometer on bikes alone,now i'm dilemma on which bike to go for,I've owned pulsar UG3,Yamaha Fz in the past,right now i'm riding a scooty (activa) for an year already and the gear bug has bitten me again,I'm not sure which bike to go for now.
    Well,I have opted a few like Avenger Street,Pulsar 220 or the old Karizma R
    Now i need expert opinion if i should buy a used Karizma R the old one which is one of my favorite as i think 220 is outdated and Avengers are not that comfortable to be ridden in city traffic,I'm keen on buying an used ZMR but it's hard to find one in good condition i have been to random sites on my search for zmr like olx,quikr but couldn't find a good one,please enlighting me ,Thanks!

    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

      Even if you find an older generation ZMR, I think finding the spares could pose a problem.
      Are you thinking of a new bike btw?

        Well,I really like the old zmr,I'm open to new bikes aswell,Spares are not much of a problem down south(Hyd)They're available here,Is it wise to go for pulsar 220 now? looks dated now,Test driven avenger 220 street but it lacks that punch,Had Fz so don't wanna go with Yamaha as i had bad experiences with their after sales service.

          If your heart is set on something then go for it. If you dont buy it, most likely you will not be satisfied with whatever you purchase.
          Are you looking for more power from the new ride? If yes then neither the ZMR nor P220 would provide enough grunt over what you had.

              Why don't u try out rtr200??.. its one of the most vfm bikes in 200cc segemet!! U can cruise on highway around 100-110 all day long!!.. engine refinement is also top-notch.. & its now available in fi variant also.

                I didn't liked the rear seating of that bike,Already took TD a few days back,Overall its a tempting package but it lacks with pillon comfort
