Hi,
I am looking at buying a Scrambler/Naked bike , "dual-sport" or "motard" kind of bike for a mix of mostly city riding and bit of countryside riding (not hardcore off-road). Engine Capacity up-to 350cc. Am not a speed freak, usually I ride between 40 to 50km per hr in the city and up-to 60km/hr on open highway, so would love to have an engine which has good pulling power even at low revs and easy to handle in busy bumper-to-bumper traffic.
If I am out on a weekend trip, maximum touring distance per day maybe up-to 200km. Am around 5 feet, 6 inches and riding comfort /lower back comfort is of utmost importance. Others important factor is low maintenance. Pillion rider is not an important aspect as only occasionally a 2nd person will be riding pillion. Mileage is not a big aspect for such large displacement bikes.
So far I have shortlisted KTM Duke 390, Kawasaki Z300, Honda Rebel 300, Yamaha MT 03 and am inclined towards the KTM Duke 390 owing to its CC/HP/weight ratios.
Am open to any other bike, not in my shortlist as well. Which bike will you recommend ?
