Am 32years young, working as an Asst Professor for daily bread and butter, got hitched 6months ago, sold my CBR 250R 6days ago. I have been a biker for close to 15years now with approximately 2lakh kms of riding experience and by God's grace, never been involved in any accident (touchwood!!)😊
Now coming to the predicament, I sold my CBR last week and am in the process of buying a car(usual marriage aftereffects) But after I sold the bike, I am really disturbed. Presently am using my dad's car for commuting, but it isn't the same(that feel). Am not enjoying my commute, it has become a kind of struggle, I want to go back, I really love riding. And to top it all, I don't even know the exact reason why I sold my CBR in the 1st place, it was just spontaneous (friend asked, I agreed) Now I want to get back to what I enjoy the most, biking. Help me for choosing a bike. Here is a brief description about my requirements.
Height- 5.8
Weight- 90kgs(that's heavy!)
Location- Bangalore
Purpose- daily commute to work, occasionally touring.
Bikes previously owned- Bullet STD CI, Bullet Machismo 350 AVL, Rx135 5speed, Hero Honda Acheiver 150, Bullet Electra 350 UCE, KTM D390, CBR 250r (in the same order)
Bikes shortlisted- None, confused
REQUIREMENTS-
1. Lesser kerb weight
2. Reliable (like my cbr)
3. Pillion comfort (must)
4. Low cost of maintenance
5. Shorter turning radius (unlike cbr)
6. Fuel efficiency- 25 to 30kmpl
7. Power delivery- linear (unlike old d390)
8. Good high speed stability and road grip(unlike bullets where the suspension is too soft n tyres not so grippy)
9. Preferably upright riding position
10. Not very keen about ABS
11. Suspension should be well tuned to handle Indian roads.
12. Budget- within 2lakhs
13. Open to used bikes suggestions as well.
