      Dominar is the most vfm option in my opinion, capable but has a few small niggles, if you can look through that then that's fine, other options you could consider are Apache 200 4v , ns/rs200, fz25 and lastly cbr 250r which in my opinion any bike which has done below 10k km in good condition can be considered,

        Dominor is good vfm as bro mentioned in above post, you can also look for FZ25 & CBR 250. Test ride all these and see for yourself what suits you.

            You'll face various issues, weak performance, vibrations , rusting etc etc.

              Fz25 is definitely not pillion friendly. CBR is to a good extent. Depends on the pillion too. A 60kg pillion is uncomfortable on the fz25. Even a 100kg pillion is good on a CBR.

                Thank you for the suggestions..

                I need to test drive Apache 200 and Xtreme 200r.
                CBR 250 is way out of my budget as on road price in Bangalore is 2.28 lakhs I believe.
                I was comfortable with RE but worried about the maintenance cost and reliability.

                  Undoubtedly RE HIMALAYAN BS 4 ABS. Best seats.

                    Agreed. Has the best ergonomic seats for rider and pillion for any weight class.

                      And how you predict all these so early????

                            Although the seats are pretty comfortable, the bs4 variant is a complete disaster. One of my friends bought it against the advice of a lot of friends and now he's paying the price. The thing with RE is that you gotto rely on your luck and karma before you book one[emoji23]. Probably look in the used market accompanied by a good mechanic.
                            Cheerio!

                              Could you please clarify? There are many REH BS4 owners on this platform and everyone is satisfied with their bike.

                              Thanks in advance.

                              Cheers
