Good Crusier Bike

29M here. I live in 4km radius of my workplace and have previously enjoyed living in 2km & 180m radius of my workplace in HSR. I’ve been in Bangalore(HSR) for 6+ years and have never needed to own a vehicle(thanks to Ola/Uber/Rapido, BMTC, Bounce, Vogo, Yulu, Drivezy, and a couple of friends). I often walk back from office as time consumed by bus+wait time = walking back home+5mins. Besides busses are a bit unreliable & often too crowded. I used to work in a startup so I had very little free time to venture out & I’ve been very frugal with money even though I have decent income. I’m fully I’ve always lived way under my means like a tech-bro. 🥲 I’m now willing to purchase one for office commute & to enjoy some solo trips as I might get married by next year. I sort of feel not owning a vehicle(preferably car) could be a potential red flag for the girl(&her judgemental parents; AM sucks, lol) but I’m planning to hold off a car as my commute time(&⛽️₹) will increase and buy a working scooty/bike which can sort of ferry me quickly and cheaply to local meet-ups, relatives’ homes for free food/celebrations. I feel I might miss out on crucial contacts, awesome learnings & above all time(the most expensive resource) if I don’t own a reliable 2wheeler. Two wheeler expectations: - comfortable city driving; expecting to not ride more than 20km/day(Scooty wins here hands down as I have a decent place to throw in the laptop bag and keep my spine straight) - okay road trips for maybe once every two months(sports bikes rule here, no gf sadly🥲) - low servicing overheads(rules out 2nd hand vehicles, as 2nd hand vehicles as they are expected breakdown more frequently & recurring servicing cost) (EVs win here, until🔋😒) - as low cost of ownership+purchase as possible (basic bikes like Pulsar/Platina could be a good choice, Ather 450 gets booted out as it’s ₹1.6L) - likely not an EV(coz once a while I’d like to hit the highways & I hate surprises so no Ola) Please guide me peeps🙏

I have just shifted from Bengaluru to Gurgaon for a new opportunity. Apart from all the cultural differences, the biggest thing I have noticed in Delhi-NCR is the huge presence of 4 wheelers on roads. 1. Is a car really that needed in Delhi (consider the Summers and Winters) or is it just a status symbol here? 2. If a car purchase does make sense, do you recommend a new/used car? My budget is INR 6L PS: 1. My office is 3kms one way from residence. 2. I only have 2 members in my family (my wife and I). 3. I already have a 400CC bike with me. 4. I may end up driving on weekends to the hills.

Which one should i go for? Share your experience if you bought any of this bikes. Want for touring and little off road, inclined towards himalayan 450.(soft signal)

Looking forward to starting WFO. How long are you guys commuting to the office in a two wheeler? I've been renting pre COVID and now planning to go for a 45km-45km ride. Which bike (scooter/motorcycle) and health issues like back pain?

Any suggestions?!!

Which bike should I buy, if my budget is around 2lakh. Apache RTR 200 4V, Pulsar RS200, Karizma XMR, R15, Gixxer SF250 I want a comfortable bike.

I am a noob at bike but have some disposable $$ to put into a good bike. The current idea is to go for a decent bike which isn't too much over the top. The budget goes from 2lakh to 5 lakh. It isn't a rational buy but a emotional buy. What would be your suggestion in these ranges Below 2 lakh 2 to 3.5 lakh 3.5 to 5lakh And why?

I have shifted recently to Blr and for commuting I need a second hand bike as of now. From where I can get it at a good price and in good condition. Any ideas? You can DM me also
