Hello team xbhpians...This will be my first post on this happening community of bikers. I have been reading posts day and night ever since I decided on buying a new bike for myself. I'm planning to buy the bike in the coming month on the 6th of June 2014.
I currently own a CBZ Star.. I love the bike and has been with me from.the last 6 years. Today when I see new bikes on road, my conscious kicks in and is leaning me towards upgrading to a new fancy bike. My budget is 1 lac. I want something that can excite me for the next 5 years atleast.
I have read many comparison posts. But I am confused with what i exactly want and so would need help from.the experts. I visited the Bajaj showroom and seen the p220 and p200NS. I first was keen on buying the p200 NS. But somehow I'm not convinced with the brand Bajaj. I have heard mixed reviews on it.
My basic requirements are:
1. Good pick up and handling
2. Minimum 180 cc as I need a little more power coming from a 150 CBZ
3. Good build quality and not something that looks eye candy but gets damaged when you use it.
4. I'm not concerned about fuel efficiency as I drive a Polo and the bike would just be used during the weekends for a general commute. For fun basically :)
5. I'm more concerned about maintainence as I prefer to have good service centers unlike Bajaj or hero who have a few unskilled people who fix your bikes and create a mess out of something that was perfectly fine before you went in for service. I have experienced that on my CBZ and it worries me.
These are the major points that I'm looking for when buying a bike. Also to say I'm a very careful kinda guy and I really take care of my bike. My height is 5'11. Weight is 88.
Your feedback is highly appreciated and necessary for me in choosing a good bike. Thanks u all.
