        bro dont worry,though its new the entire thing is a mean 220 only,without the fairing,go in for this at your budget and you will not regret your decision!

          Actually Avenger wouldn't suit my personality (5'10'', 75 KG ) neither do I can bear that me riding a foot below normal riding position no pun!

          @inflammable - Yeah me too thinking about the character of bike, whether it will be fun or not! And one thing more, I don't have a GF, there are many other ways for killing time and money!

              Hey Srinath,
              RTR180 I have driven, its fastest throttle impressed me a lot, but vibration above 55-60Km/h reminded me of my brother's XCD! No doubt its a top notch production, but I can't help vibrators
              Suzuki still needs to settle down in Indian Market and also SC in my place ais around 12 Km away from my house! So....you C...

                I've read many threads on "What Bike" section. I have to admit yours got to be one of the toughest.
                Going by your list.
                P180 seems a good choice but you say 150CC is required anyhow.
                FZ is among the best handler on the street but you don't like it.
                A180, another contender for the street but revs like a tractor.
                Hunk, CBZ meets more or less your requirement but are way too behind your mindset.
                Ever wondered why you dont have GF. Just funning, please don't take offence.

                New P150 is on the card, why not give it a shot.

                  ^lol. Man it seems, Xbhpians have got good SoH. Thanks for clearing out my doubt! Yes I was wondering!
                  You forgot to put 220 and 180 one on one! Who said I want a 150cc bike? I would rather buy a 21" atlas bicycle than buying a 150cc bike.

                            You wont get a certificate from Bajaj claiming it dude, nor will you get an assurance in this regard. FE depends on how you ride and a lot many factors.
                            You can only ask owners and the one who replied to you is an owner and his 220 DTS-i has done 10000 kms.

                            I too own a 220 and i rip it hard always, manage to get minimum 34-35 always. If you keep listening to everyone then you would never be able to finalize on your bike.
                            If you can believe the guy who told you 220 gives 22-25 kmpl (which is absurd), you can go to 220 DTSi thread and ask tons of owners there.
