    New bike 200-350cc majorly for office commute

    Hi All,

    Planning to buy a 200-350cc bike. usage will be majorly for office commute (daily 50-60kms) and occasional weekend Highway rides. I am 30 yrs married 5'10 with avg build. Personally I like

    - RR 310 BS-VI but I feel it may be unnecessary spend and pillion seat may not be of any use

    - Gixxer SR250 feels small bike, same design as 150

    - Thunderbird 350X - though it is discontinued, saw online that new model will.be similar but it may not suit my riding style as I like sports bike and it will be a heavy bike considering my built.

    - Duke 200 : people like its design by I don't like plus it console is too outdated consider the amt they charge. Somehow not able to convince myself for this bike also.

    Please help. I am open to other options as well.

          Have a look at the FZ25. Suits your requirements.
          A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

              What about Hero Xpulse or RE Himalayan, if you like off road fun and a plush ride on broken roads.

                Yes P220 and Avenger are also good options. Regular maintenance is all you need to maintain these, parts and Maintenance is wallet friendly too.

                  Re: New bike 200-350cc majorly for office commute

                  Have shortlisted with my views, please help to finalise. I need pillion seat also so that is one of the major points...
                  Dominar 250 - looks very basic in looks but good in terms of overall bike package

                  Gixxer 250 - fully faired bike with decents features but same design as 150cc

                  Thunderbird - might not suit my riding style as I like sports bike

                  Apache 310 - pillion seat of not much use plus spending 2.7 lacs for city commute (90%) is not justified.

                  I am also open to modifications in bike to make it more useful n improve the looks...
                  Will be doing test ride of each of these before finalising...

                    Dominar 250 will be best option.

                      Weight of the bike is a big let down for me [emoji53]

                        BS6 FZ 25 is a nice option. Also if you are okay with the looks, Mojo is a nice option.

                          I have been using the 2018 FZ 25 since last 2 years and I find it the best among all the bikes you have mentioned below. However this is my personal opinion. And this opinion is based on the below facts:
                          1. The FZ 25 has a perfect riding posture for your height.
                          2. The weight is perfect for a commuter.
                          3. Performance on city and highway is good and has a very low end torque for city riding.
                          4. Maintenance, I have not spent a single rupee except for regular service.
                          5. Good for occasional touring. Can cruise on 90-100KMPH for hours.
                          6. Newer versions have dual channel ABS for perfect braking.

                          Cons:
                          1. Small console with no gear position indicator, else everything you need is there.
                          2. Couldn't find any.
