        I am 5.9ft

        70kg

        Need a bike for commuting to college and for weekend highway rides.

        My budget is around 1.5 lac onroad.

        Need it to be powerful (200cc +)
        Only exception is R15 V3.

        ABS is not a compulsion but if its available... I'll take it happily.

        Fuel economy is a must. Need decent fuel economy i.e 40+ kmpl

        Bike that I have in mind:- Apache rtr 200 4v 2.0 race edition, R15 V3, FZ25.

        Also suggest a good helmet under 5k.

        Thankyou
        Have you decided yet? I see the thread was born 2 months ago so hoping that you've got the bike.

            Congrats for the bike.
            How was the decision made?
            Don't worry for the fuel efficiency for now. Follow the proper run-in process and at least 2-2.5k kms on odo for an approx fuel efficiency figures.
            Let the engine settle down.

              Initially I had decided the gixxer sf top end variant.

              But then my parents stepped in and said that as it is my first bike, they won't allow me to buy a sports bike and rather i should go for something like CB shine.... But that was too underpowered for me[emoji28]. So I went to the Honda showroom to checkout the new unicorn 160. But the instead the xblade caught my attention!

              Took a test drive and done...booked it!!
