I came to Mumbai for a job and here you can find all sorts of people and all sorts of bikes.The land prices are so high here that it is preferable that you stay in a relatively cheaper apartment which is quite far from office.So transportation must be taken care of.To solve this having a bike/car is important.Otherwise you could end up giving half of your salary to auto-rickshaw-wallas.
Here are few tips on how to decide which bike to purchase.Take a deep breadth and decide what are those criteria on which you are deciding on purchasing a bike.There are 3 bike categories.If you love to race and always want to bend forwards and keep the speedometer at its peak then go for a sports bike.
A sports bike is something thats going to keep your adrenaline pumping all the time.Its kind of limited edition because the more speed you take,the 10 kilometers will feel like few minutes only.Bikes like Ducati ,Pulsar and Yamaha ,Karizma are meant for you (assuming you are an Indian resident).Pulsar is the most common bike on Indian roads because its really affordable and gives reasonable mileage.
Welcome to a different category of bikes.Its known as Cruise bikes.Its for those people who think that distance is too short.If you are that person who wants to keep riding and riding then you should opt for a cruise bike.Its got ingredients that keep you going and not giving you back aches when distances are long.The difference between a sports bike and a cruise bike is the seating position.Cruise bikes are a bit shorter in height whereas its longer from front to rear.So you get a better seating position when you are on a cruise bike.You can either lean forward or relax and stay back and ride.Also when you are on a cruise bike you can feel the same comfort of driving a 4 wheeler car.Also cruise bikes give you thicker bike tyres and a better balance.Cruise bikes in India would necessarily mean Eliminator,Avenger,Enfield and sometimes Harley Davidson.
The third category of bike is the budget bike for common Indian users.Its got good mileage and good feel when in traffic jams.Also its easy to afford and maintain.When you need to go to the local grocery shop or go to college/office this bike is meant for you.Splendor,Passion,Pulsar,Activa are common bikes in this category.
Well i own an Avenger bike and comes in the Cruise bike category.Its a brand of Bajaj.
Its got sexy looks and does not let me down.The only problem with Bajaj bikes is its gear shift.But since its got the pioneered DTSi technology it makes up for the bad.Also seating position is good for long rides and will not give you back aches easily.
Mumbai roads have a lot of slopes and riding here from a higher elevation to lower in good speeds requires shift to lower gears quickly.Mileage is reasonable.I am not opting for a different bike but will continue riding it.
