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.

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....

well even I am on a look out for a bike for few weeks and I usually do an extensive research before making any big product decision. I still haven't made one but following is my take after the small research done till now....

Though I am not a true fan of TVS infact I kinda hate them, but to my surprise almost all online bike reviews have praised apachie to the limites. And truly so as it comepletely changed my mind when I drove it (keeping the low hight factor apart). Infact I was surprised to feel apachie beating the crap out of FZ16 at accleration at high speeds like from 55-60 to 80-90 Kmph
FZ16 on the other hand just dragged when picked up from 55 to 80.

FZ 16 is ultimate ride if city traffice is what you want to cover, its best when driven in city because of its high torque, best pick up from 0-60 and broad tyres, you go zip zap in the city with ease, however when it comes to long ride speed APACHE rules.... trust me, it simply picks effortlessly from 55 to 80, and you can actually feel the power, but then again lacks the riding comfort coz I was clearly feeling the vibrations. When it comes to ride comfort and drive smoothness, simply nothing can beat CBZ X, absolutely amazing riding comfort. CBZ X is as smooth as butter at high speeds, best driving posture, absolute smooth gear shift (no neutral lock ups), best suspention (even though its not GAS) and best of all least vibrations (almost negligible). So the choise is yours...

For best city ride :: FZ16 with best 0-60 pickup and broad tyres
For best long ride speed with power :: Apachie with amazing high speed pickup
For ride comfort and smoothness and still better high speed pickup then FZ16 :: CBZ X

all recomendations assuming that the looks of the bike dont kill you else FZ16 is the obvious choise.

Pulser I would not go anyhow irrespective of performance as there are toooo many pulsers on road and has absolutely lost its charm....

Pulser 220 may be the choice but again I would still prefer Karizma over Pulsar 220...

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.
