Re: Planning to buy a new bike
Now how did we missed this post
Anyways, Karizma is a good purchase if you are looking for a comfortable touring motorcycle. The only downside I can see in it is the low mileage and expensive spares.

Re: Planning to buy a new bike
1) Leave Hunk aside Nothing interesting there.
2) Daily usage of How many kilometers? City use or Highway?
3) If the cost is not a big factor, why not try R15?

Re: Planning to buy a new bike
If you are gonna use the bike just for normal city commuting then out of your options i would suggest P200....as it has good power with a healthy average....!!
And out from your options i would you Unicorn as well....as it has the smoothest of the engines....due to its Honda tag...!!

Re: Planning to buy a new bike
^Hunk and CBZ Extreme has the same Unicorn engine, with a wee bit more of power than the Unicorn.
Since it seems you'll be doing more of daily commute and less of touring, I would suggest the Pulsar 200. It has a good balance of fuel efficiency, power, highway cruising and twisty handling abilities. And in case you decide to do some off-roading, there are less of plastic parts that can start rattling, unlike the P-220 and Karizma.

Re: Planning to buy a new bike
Hi all,
I havent taken R15 as one of my choices as it looks small to me, as i am 5'11" tall.
Rest after giving every bike a thought i freezed my decision to go for Karizma. I will be buying it in mid of October.
Till then may look for yamaha fz16.........
