i have been planning to buy a bike for some time now. i read a lot of posts here and elsewhere and finally settled on Suzuki GS 150R. Unfortunately, when today i tried calling some suzuki dealers and got bad news that production of the bike has been discontinued and its not available here (Thane, Mumbai area). I felt really sad at this as i been contemplating to buy a bike for a long time and took time to finalize my kind of bike.
My preferences were:
> Since i am on heavy side 95 kgs, height 5'7", i wanted a 150 cc engine bike to keep me afloat and power thru when reqd. :)
>Bike should be comfortable to ride in, whether small or long rides. i have read of back aches and cramps due to bad sitting posture.
> FE to be decently good (aournd 50 kmpl is fine for me)
> Reliability and low maintenance are imp key for me for my bike.
Now i am facing a dilemma what to do: choose between existing bikes (may be Unicorn 160) or keep calling those dealers, simulatenosly bug the company for GS availability or wait for new models from Suzuki side?
i still havent kept in mind the ASS of suzuki and going by rider and owner reviews.
Advice needed!!
thank you,
Tarun
