    Bro my options are
    *Gixxer which i really like(i heard its not suitable for tall rider)
    *Ns 160 (didnt like thin tyre)
    *Rtr 4v which havent launch in our country yet.
    Ok, instead going with statements people put across about the Gixxer. I'd suggest you to take a test ride and decide it for yourself. Makes more sense. [emoji4]

      If that's not in your deck of cards, then the Apache 160 4V is a beautiful bike to go with. However, the resale of either the Yamaha SZ-RR (If you choose to go with) or Apache 160 4V would suck big time post the 5 year period.
      Resale value depends on place I guess , here Honda unicorn has high resale value than Bajaj 150 ,

      Highly suggest you take good test ride of all 3 bikes , and also check reviews about service center in your area .

            Soon I will buy my very first bike. It has to be 150-160cc segment.
            My height is 6'3.
            So it has to be a bike suitable for my height. I was thinking of buying Gixxer, until I saw many reviews, where they said its uncomfortable for tall riders.
            So, please suggest me a motorcycle.

            Thanks.
            Honda unicorn 150 will be best suited for your requirements especially for tall riders like you. It scores perfectly in all the aspects like comfort, reliability, mileage, ease of maintenance. It can be used for both city commuting and highway touring. It is the only bike in 150cc to 160cc segment with minimal flaws. But it is one of the least powered motorcycles in 150cc segment.

                In that case, you can go for hornet which uses the same honda unicorn engine retuned to give more performance. Mileage figures are also very good. The bike looks muscular and beefy with wider 140 section rear tyre which should absolutely suit you considering your height. Gixxer is also a very good option but tall riders may find uncomfortable. So Hornet 160 is what you should pick IMO. But if you can stretch your budget a little bit, I would suggest you to seriously consider Bajaj pulsar ns200. Because the price difference is also not much between hornet and ns200.

                So my verdict, if you want to stick to 150 -160cc segment, then Hornet. Else stretch a little bit and get ns200.

                  That's a nice suggestion. If you had TVS Apache 160 4V, it'd have made perfect sense due you too.

                    I am already owning apache rtr 200 race edition. I am 5'9 and even I am finding the bike seat height to be shorter. Taller guys may definitely find it uncomfortable. Thats why I did not suggest apache rtr 160 4v. Apart from that I felt 160 4v to be much smoother and refinement is top notch while test drive.

                      I'm also 5'9" but I never felt my RTR 200 to be short. I'm able to plant my feet perfectly on the ground and the tank recesses are also able to accommodate my legs and I guess it must be suitable for someone till at least 6'.

                        It will suit thinner (tall) people. I know [MENTION=77131]ALI.R[/MENTION] who uses a 200 is 6'2" (I think so?), he says it's pretty comfortable. I'm nearly 6' but I have fat thighs which makes the RTR200 uncomfortable (heck.. my thighs don't fit in the tank recesses in the R15 V2).

                        For taller riders, the hornet and NS200 makes sense. Even FZ v2 is comfortable to a certain degree.

                        [MENTION=100169]josephnasif[/MENTION], on paper the bikes may feel uncomfortable, the only way to really know is to have a test ride. Go ahead and test ride the ones you've shortlisted.
                        EDIT - no test rides? Crap. At least persuade them to let you sit on the display bikes. If not, well, I have a friend who's 6'2", the hornet suits him perfectly.

                          Thanks bro, now i am thinking before buying the bike first i have to seat on each bike(for 15-20min) to see how comfortable it really is :3 .

                                Despite Gixxer being consider for short riders, i think i am gonna go with gixxer or sf.
