Hi All,
I am a 6ft tall guy looking to buy a bike. Can anyone suggest a bike which would suit me. I have ridden pulsar and felt it was too low.

I was gonna say Pulsar 200 or 220 but since you didn't like it then i would suggest Enfield or Thunderbird perhaps.

hmm...how about a Karizma ?? I *think* its seat position is higher than pulsar ...

else Enticer/ Avenger / any other cruiser bikes is possibly what you should be looking at...

i think you can lift the seat position by adjusting the shock of mono-shock absorber

im 6'2" and on the heavier side of the BMI, drive a Pulsar 200, no problems.....in the beginning it was a bit tricky....but now i have gotten used to it and enjoy it....

if you can handle a 180kgs behemoth then go for the bullet....

6.1 riding unicorn.
Its lengthy and has wider seats for better comfort. Adjustable mono suspension does gives extra bit of control and ride comfort.

Guys...
thanks a lot for your replies...was just out of town for sometime...
I have read your suggestions...I will try out pulsar 200 as moshel has suggested...I like pulsar looks and all, though it gave me a backache the last time I rode one...anyway I hope P200 is different...Will definitely look at thunderbird as an option...probably unicorn...will be trying it out in the next few days...
will definitely post what I bought finally...
cheers.... :)

I am 6 ft, Pulsar seems fine. Apache is not recommended for you if you are uncomfortable with pulsar, although apache is a nice bike.
