    Quest for the "MOST COMFORTABLE" indian bike.

    A relative of mine landed a sales job requiring extensive travelling, both intercity and intracity. On an average he needs to travel around 100KMs a day involving 60% city riding and balance riding will be on highways. This will involve riding on expressways as well as riding on rough village terrain. With such long hours on saddle and riding on varied road conditions the first and foremost requirement is COMFORT. The suspension set up, the handlebar, footpeg alignment(For somebody who is 9'11"), ergonomics, and quality of the seat should be top notch to offer maximum comfort. The bike must offer comfortable ride to the rider as well as pillion too as a fair part of the riding will be with a pillion. The next deciding factor will be fuel efficiany and third will be power.

    Budget is around 65K, and open to any suggestions starting from 125CC and above. Suggestions welcome.

      9'11"??? You should contact Guinness Book if that's not a typo .

      Coming to your query, I would say look no further than Unicorn or Avenger.
      Enna Rascalla. Mind it !!!

          Unicorn is the best option, it is supremely comfortable for both pillion and rider. It will give you 55kmpl fuel effi too.
          Avenger is not too comfortable in the city, and its still got the restless pulsar engine.

              I guess you meant 5'11"

              I would suggest Avenger since it has a comfortable riding position for the rider as well as the pillion. Fuel efficiency will be around 40 km/l. It has got a 200cc engine and 17.5 ps of power. But it is slightly out of your budget.

              Other options are Unicorn, GS 150R. Both are comfortable and will easily give a mileage of 50 km/l. Both have got a 150 cc which has fairly good power. They both fall in your price range.

                            GS150R / Unicorn for the commuters.. anything else need not be said.
                            Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                            Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
