I'm almost done with my education and have landed with a good job. So my mom decided I need to upgrade my ride. :) I'm looking at a purchase in the next 6 months. I am up to date with the current choices. I would like to know what to expect in 6 months. What I could buy, is there anything worth waiting for longer than 6 months and all those questions.
About myself : I'm 5'9", weigh about 100kg( be forgiving) and have owned a honda CB twister and currently own a RTR180ABS. So I'm spoiled by ABS. I will be looking at an upgrade to 200cc and above.
As for the budget, I'm not really concrete on this account. I would peg it around 2.5-3lakhs. That's would be the limit.
Riding style - I'm not yet sure of this. I love my RTR's ergo. I found my Twister's ergo boring. I doubt I would be able to take the ergo of the r15 - given my weight and the fact that I have a problem in my left wrist - but I haven't ridden the r15 extensively.
I hope this is enough information. It is quite far off in the future, so theres no hurry.
I don't favor any brand. My main concerns are regarding after sale service and reliability. I don't think theres any brand that has unreliable bikes. Maintenance - I understand a bike in the cadre I'm looking at would be a little heavy on the wallet but I want to make sure I don't have unnecessary costs either.
Last of all I'm based out of bangalore and my riding is mostly in the city. Fortunately my office is not in a very crowded area( I mean traffic density ) though it isn't exactly highway class either. I also tour when I can. I like to show off so a heavy road presence would be good. :D
