Topic Approved.

Honda XBlade is good, but not sure about spares' availability. With the RTR 160 4v you might have slight wrist pain for few days, then it should be normal, so you can try it too.

Have you tried the Suzuki Gixxer 150? Test ride it once. I'm sure you'll love it.

Re: Suggestions on a New Bike

Nothing comes close to sheer ferocity of an RTR in an around it's price range. If refinement and comfort is what u seek A Yamaha will be the end of your search.

Better give a shot to FZ or FZS. You won't be disappointed as far as refinement and comfort are concerned.Added advantage of FI and you will see a good fuel economy.

FZS comes with rear disk break and in some nice colors I.e. matt black. Has a small windscreen in front too. Engine is same in both though.

Apache's riding position is more suitable for shorter riders.other than that Apache is the most value for money bike. Between Fz s and fazer, I think Fz makes sense. If you like Fazer, take a look at Suzuki gixxer sf ABS, it is much more value for money than Fazer as it comes with ABS. Coming to X Blade, it seems a good commuter bike with lesser power than hornet.

Re: Suggestions on a New Bike

I agree with folks here.
Suzuki Gixxer and Gixxer SF are perhaps the most economical, fun and fuel efficient bikes in the market in that range. If you have a good independent service center, you can go with it once the free services are over. They now come with ABS too so that's an added benefit. For comfortable riding, go with a bike with single piece handlebar rather than split one, exception is Pulsar RS 200.
I'm 5'6" and ride a Pulsar 220 since 2015. It ain't comfy but I wanted something that gives me enough push for negotiating traffic plus it's list of good things of P220 that got me there. [emoji16]
FZ is another good choice.
Do check the new Xtreme 200. It's bang in there with the 150-160cc segment in pricing and has single channel ABS too.

It has same engine as gixxer and alot of plastic panels which will start rattling in due course of time.

You can't go wrong with any of these or rather any of the Japanese manufacturer's. If it's thrill of outright punch in performance gixxer fares better ... though nothing matches RTR. Pillion ride is not an option on gixxer. Yamaha is better in refinement and comfort fares well for pillion too. In long journeys it's Yamaha that will please you more. Do a test drive and decide.
