Bike Query Approved

Welcome to xBhp.

You have mentioned the name of bikes tyou are considering to buy and at the same time you have also mentioned that you didnot want them due to some tit-bits.
(i will not be mentioning the bikes you talked about as it seemed that you donot want to buy them.)
If you want a power upgrade then go for Apache 180 or wait for some new entries in the market.
If you just want a change without power upgrade then Honda Unicorn or GS150R.

Just one word - its a wrong perception you've on above marked in RED. Change it; its very very sturdy & if you've been following XBHP, then you should be knowing R15 very well.

Powerful motorcycle yet comfortable motorcycle for long drives. Considering your long commute everyday, this should be the one you should be settling upon.

Edit - Welcome to XBHP

Thanks a lot for Approving

Sorry wrongly presented
I shortlisted those bikes but for those tit-bit's letting me confused.

& yes i need a power upgrade in Apache RTR 180 there are lot of vibration after 70kmph & nothing to kick about(Of course looks wise almost same as 160).

No offense I know R 15 quality wise this is the best available motorcycle. but i read somewhere high revving engine having less lifespan compare to slow revving engine. may be i am wrong

Yes so for i shortlisted ZMR but i saw some short guys on this. Really they look funny (Bichara utar nahin paa raha hai.)

If you're refering to this thread below, then read it completely to get the complete picture; there's no offense here as I'm no big fan for R15. All I wanted is to straighten up your thoughts - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/pit-stop...ct-engine.html

Sorry mate for not replying quickly. yeah u r right.

Hello sir/bro,

Well considering a 100kms on highway Zma and Bull look like good bets. Of course you can't expect mileage but solid bikes they are. Both have a relaxed posture, cruising capabilities and are reliable too. HH service would never be a problem. I don't know about RE service.

But if you have need for speed go for P220 or the R15. R15 will be eager for corners and high revving. But considering your height and the bike's sporty seating posture I guess it would be uncomfortable(correct me if I am wrong). Also if you have to go on rough terrains a little frequenlty, I wouldn't suggest this bike. Go for P220 if you need raw power and if you are travelling in highways during night time too, then that projector headlight is a boon. This bike is a mix of everything I feel. FE would be around 40-45 under mixed conditions I guess. I don't understand why you are ignoring this bike. I feel it is worth.

Otherwise go back to choosing between the Bull and Karizma. Karizma is also fast and will take potholes with no problems. Well for the Bull.....needless to say any terrain any day any condition. That's what they are built for! If you are not worried much about FE go for one between these two after taking test drive.

As far as looks are concerned I would say it doesn't matter who you are and which bike you ride. It is always more of the chemistry between the man and the machine. This is purely my opinion.

Thank's for suggestion.
Yeah i really leaning to word's bull specially TBTS for it's comfortable riding position & Look too. Yes i heard it giving FE around 50 KMPL is it true.
if it is it's a bonus for me. considering ever rising fuel price.

A Bull giving 50kmpl. No way!! 40+ can be expected under very very soft riding(maybe on highway cruising).

I Now i sort
1 TBTS
2 Classic
3 ZMR
4 P 220
R -15 eliminated because of riding position. It surely give back pain but i love this machine & it's flickability.

little confused, Has the TBTS having legacy RE problem ? Or sorted out ?
Like Oil leak, Refusing to start on middle of road, Love to get rust in lil humid condition. etc

All that is gone now I guess. The new TB is much better in terms of refinement and quality. It shouldn't be a problem. Go for it if your heart says yes. I am not sure if all problems are sorted out, but I heard that the new set of bikes are better than the old ones. Pls refer to the TBTS ownership thread.

I think ZMR is the best option for you, no need to miss on the sporty look, Touring DNA, Engine stability and as you may have already known HH's good service reputation.... I am riding a ZMR from the last 4months there are no problems with the bike whatsoever, all the things you are reading about the problems in ZMR are just speculations of the riders having doubts on the bikes performance as it is newly launched... I also had these doubts.. actually I yeilded to the looks primarily but now even to the comfort, ridability, cornering capability, acceleration, milage....etc etc.,
