  • Help Me in deciding

    Thankyou in advance to all of you. To Start with I am currently owing Splendor 100 cc (Old model) and want to switch to more heavy bike (in terms of engine) of about 200-400 CC. My purpose is to ride everyday in a city and rarely on highways, so i am looking for a bike which handles well in city traffic and can be easy to maneuver with powerful engine so that i dont have to push hard for crossing flyovers, overtaking etc (as it is in case of Splendor) . following are my preferences :
    1. 250-400 CC engine
    2. Low pavilion seat - it should not be high as it is in most of the bikes like KTM etc.
    3. Reasonable maintenance cost and Mileage

    (considering all these factors Thunderbird X350 came to my mind but after reading various reviews and videos about old Thunderbird it seems that their bikes are of low quality parts with poor handling and high maintenance cost.)

    Please help in suggesting me a bike matching the criteria.

    I would think the Apache 200 ticks all the right boxes for you!
    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

      +1 for Apache RTR200. It checks all our requirements. Get the one with ABS for your safety.
      I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

          Then you have to go for hornet 160r with abs . Otherwise all bikes in 200 to 400 cc have high pillion seat. Otherwise u can also consider dominar 400

            Agreed - Dominor makes sense as it is meant for comfortable cruising.
