    Buying a new bike

    I have shortlisted few bikes, please help me to find the best-
    My Requirement-
    1. Good Look & Style- matters the most.
    2. Comfortable City riding and Touring
    3. Mileage & Price doesn't matter much.

    FZ25- As sitting position is upright for the Yamaha FZ25, is it good for me as a young boy in view of look and style?

    KTM 200- Look and style is obviously in one of the best but will it provide comfortable city riding and touring?

    RTR 200 4V ABS- ABS variants have only two color Red-Black, Red-White, all glossy, Is color and style good? Which color is best? Besides 149kg bike, it seems a small bike? Also sitting position is slightly upright.

    R15 v3-     Look and style is obviously in one of the best but will it provide comfortable city riding and touring?

    I know, i can't get everything in one bike, i have to compromise some extent, kindly suggest?

          And I thought you said, price doesn't matters. Well, I do understand what you're seeking. Probably college student right? R15 V3 makes sense for you. If I had a 2 lac budget, I would simply get Dominor though.

              Still R15 V3 suits the looks need. However, If you need something more comfortable, you have many options. I'd suggest a Dominor Test Ride.

                        Brother going by your requirements I feel you would be better off selecting based on test rides rather than asking us. Looks and comfort are both far too subjective for a public forum to provide any guidance. Maybe you like sport bikes; I may not think they are that great looking but why should my view count here? Go riding and find one that makes you feel that special connection. This is rarely an objective judgement, unlike going by specs.

                        Once you have a favourite (or a few), bring us the news and we will cheer for you. What I would like to see most is you ride and be happy. My preferences for looks and comfort be damned!

                        BTW just to share, I have ridden all the bikes you listed and liked the 200 4v the most. It felt like a good overall package. Terrible pillion seat though.

                          Try Dominar 2019,seems pretty good but will take more than 100 days to launch possibly!!
