HI all ,

I am planning for a new bike..

Avenger's riding style attracts, i hope it is better than Pulsar or any other bike for Long rides, but absence of alloy wheels force me to rethink. coz Tubeless tyre is the issue.

Karizma is good, have alloy wheels, means i can put up Tube less tyres ... but average is problem.

Kindly suggest.

Bhai nothing beats Karizma, mileage bhi issue nehi hai, its closer and/or more than Avenger.

but dont you think it'll be more comfortable to ride Avenger, as it is designed as a cruise bike.

two entirely different bikes from every perspective, take a test ride on both and then listen what your heart says.

If all you want to ride is on highways avenger! Else Karizma

[darkside_of_d_sun]

Karizma will take you everywhere, i.e. city, highways, hills, mountains, off-roads and no roads. Avenger is good only if you want to stick to Delhi and arrow straight highways of the northern plains.

My vote is Karizma!

Cheers,
Shamik

ZMA if you are into touring. That 223cc Honda engine sublime on highways.

hi mt.treker ........ !!!! now that is one thing i am also looking forward to.. getting a new touring companion.

AvenGer -- it is crusier shaped bike not a perfect crusier thus ater a long day if you are short heighted you will fell the unrelaxed manner you were riding all day long. And the the bike cant do much off road riding at times a pain to do water crossing. you can get fare amt of spares if it breaks down courtsey bajaj product.!!!!

KArizma -- powerful, gud height may it be off road or water crossing honda responds very well but then the average on a tour will not be much better do it on any speed, spares are availabe and some jugad also can be done but then the orig ones are not cheap at all.

thus the choice is all urs as which is best suited to your body structure and needs. both are gud in their own respective catagory !!!! ..

When we see, it feels as if the Avenger rider is fairly comfortable riding for hours in that position, i have talked to Avenger riders in detail and the fact is that sooner or later even that kind of riding postion will give you back pains and stuff...Same applies to Karizma too...

While ZMA can take almost every kind of surface Avenger is made for proper smooth roads.

Waiting for akshay to reply. i think he will be able to give you insight about Karizma..
