The bike dilemma

Hey I booked a new Karizma-R on 13th Feb 2010. Thought would retire my old pulsar 150 classic or use it for city commutes only.

I had a host of choices before buying - the Unicorn, the Thunderbird Twinspark , the TVS Apache RTR 180 (the menace) etc.

The Unicorn by itself is the best product in comfort and refinement but however it being a 150cc engine itself was a deterrent for me. Not that I didnt like it but then if Honda would have brought in a 200cc atleast I would have bought it blindly. I swear. This choice was gone.

The Bullet was a good choice and people told me to consider nothing but it but sadly the budget didnt permit me plus I had apprehensions of bullets not being reliable (maybe wrong) but then I had it in some corner of my mind. This choice too was gone.

TVS RTR was a nice contender but it didnt prove itself over the years so this also gone.

The good choice for me of-course was the ZMA-R , not the new ZMR. So went ahead and booked the bike. The bike is perfect for me atleast. Maybe others would differ! The bike should be delivered by 15th March hopefully after a months waiting!
