  • touring bike

    Hi guys,
    I have planned to buy a new bike for touring purpose. Which bike should I buy? Its should be comfortable for pillion too, because I am planning for long ride upto 2000 km. in coming December. I have Royal Enfield 350 but its not reliable for such a long journey.
    Please help me out.
    budget : 80000-90000.

      considering your price range, need for reliability and comfort, i suggest karizma.. Zma-r or zmr, you decide..

        For your budget you can look for ZMA-R/ZMR or Pulsar 220 dts-i, or even new bullet 350 classic though ZMR and bullet Classic 350 will be little above your budget.

            500kms a shouldnt be any problem for the karizma to handle. About avenger, the rider seat is very much comfortable, but the pillion seat is not!

                  avenger is a great bike but P220 or ZMA-R will do better i guess...

                      If you want to go for the Avenger, you might have to do some mods to the pillion seat. Probably add some foam to it, to make it comfortable.
