both the unicorn and gs are fuss free bikes though the first batch of zukis had a tank rust problem.Said to be rectified now

2)please let me know the practical mileage of the two in city and on the highway.
and its on road price in Hyderabad.
both give around 55kmpl(normal riding conditions)
3)will the fuel tank of gs150 r creates any trouble when brakes are applied suddenly(will it hurt the groin region,with sudden brake application)?
this is one of the dumbest myths i've heard.Remember,when the pulsars were launched,this was one thing that did the rounds the most.Nothing like that is ever gonna happen

4)will the Suzuki bikes are trustworthy visa-vi with Honda unicorn(long term consistence performance)?
looking at the zeus and heat,both bikes which are robust and well built,I don't think there'll be an issue
5)can I learn to drive a geared bike directly on these 150 cc bike or should i need to learn it initially on 100 cc and than ride on 150cc.
you can.Infact,you can learn your first biking lessons on any bike below 250cc IMO.That won't be a problem for sure

I appreciate if you answer the query in question wise.it will clear all the doubts striking my brain.

I sincerely appreciate your valuable and authentic suggestions in purchasing superior among the two bikes.

Thanks,
Bike Aspirer.

my answers in bold...and my vote goes for the GS150r

1)please help me in choosing the best between two gems in keeping view your first hand experience on the two bikes.

Both the bikes are best on thier own Basics.......
But as far as Reliability is Concerned Uni stands first

2)please let me know the practical mileage of the two in city and on the highway.
and its on road price in Hyderabad.

Uni will produce 50
GS will do the same on city Traffic....
In highways you can expect some 5 to 8 Higher depending on your Speeds

3)will the fuel tank of gs150 r creates any trouble when brakes are applied suddenly(will it hurt the groin region,with sudden brake application)?

Not so - untill your seating position and Braking are Unique....

4)will the Suzuki bikes are trustworthy visa-vi with Honda unicorn(long term consistence performance)?

Suzuki has comparativerly less Service centres and there were some complaints of Rusting in thier bikes......
Never heard of anything with UNI.....
But GS has more Advanced Features then that of UNI......Except the Mono Shocks......

5)can I learn to drive a geared bike directly on these 150 cc bike or should i need to learn it initially on 100 cc and than ride on 150cc.

It depends on your mind set....
But my recomendation is to first learn it with your friends bikes or an Old bike of any Local Mechanic....And then go for yours......

UNI stands tall but GS has more features like Digi Speedo
Different Driving modes....Rear sets.....6 speed box
As far as performance is concerned GS wins the race
But UNI is a stable vehicle.....best for an 150 Commuter

**aargee** · 01-25-2010, 06:20 PM

Go for Unicorn, you'll never regret for it anyday, its tested & proven vehicle.

**kasperrmat** · 01-25-2010, 11:30 PM

HI all,

I thank you all for your warmth and guidence for choosing from the two bikes.

1)To get a unicorn i have to wait for 45 DAYS AS PER Honda dealers in Hyderabad.

2)I do not see many SUZUKI GS150 R bikes on Hyderabad road.does it mean that the bike is a flop show or success story?(actually i am more inclined to Suzuki gs 150 r,but what to know is it a success story.And furthurmore the after sales spare parts availability is also poor in case of suzuki.
Any suzuki owners please through light on the truth in it

3)Any idea about when the Yamaha sz is on the road? and specs and info?
i ahve found one link,but it is not complete(Yamaha SZ 150cc To Launch In February! | bikeNcar)

4)What is the seconds sale value of Honda and Suzuki products?i heared that the seconds sale of honda is good but donot know about suzuki.

Thanks,
bike Aspirer.

**varun_r15** · 01-26-2010, 12:40 AM

best in 150cc segment

4)What is the seconds sale value of Honda and Suzuki products?i heared that the seconds sale of honda is good but donot know about suzuki.

Honda leads in second hand value..

**Hanith** · 01-26-2010, 01:09 AM

Suzuki Gs 150 R is a hit bro...I too roam on same hyd roads and found a lot number of Gs's...
its the best VFM compared to Uni..
But reliability of gs doenst have any complaints till now..
So take a wise decision b4 gng for one

**truelypulsarian** · 01-26-2010, 09:13 AM

just go for uni best bike in d 150cc segment.

**joyjeetdan** · 01-27-2010, 11:53 AM

I think suzuki can be given an edge because of it's performance, looks, 6 gear system, and more refined engine

1)please help me in choosing the best between two gems in keeping view your first hand experience on the two bikes. Both bike has proven their excellence in this area. mind blowing performance and user experience for both the bikes, the new unicorn came with more refined engine than the previous ones.

2)please let me know the practical mileage of the two in city and on the highway. both will give 52-56 kmpl in city and highway driving.

and its on road price in Hyderabad. Sorry I don't know about this

3)will the fuel tank of gs150 r creates any trouble when brakes are applied suddenly(will it hurt the groin region,with sudden brake application)?
No way, it's a myth but it's ergodynamically designed bike, so please don't worry about this crap things

4)will the Suzuki bikes are trustworthy visa-vi with Honda unicorn(long term consistence performance)?
yes both provides world class bikes so don't worry about their services

Here is a small info section

Unicorn: a 4 stroke, Single Cylinder, Air Cooled engine with a displacement of 149.1 cc with maximum power output of 13.3 Bhp at 8000 rpm. (9.9 KW). Maximum torque of 12.8 Nm (1.3 Kg-m) is produced at an early 5500 rpm.
GS150R: a 4 stroke, single cylinder, Air-cooled 149.5cc SOHC engine with 13.8 Bhp at 8000 rpm maximum torque of 13.4 Nm at 6000 rpm

GS 150R is 3 KG hevier than unicorn

**kasperrmat** · 01-27-2010, 01:18 PM

Thank you very much for such a detailed reply.Its helps me to choose(I am more inclined towards gs 150 r)

Do you have any idea about the after service sales and spare parts available of suzuki?it is said that suzuki's after service sales and spare parts availabilty is more of concern.

I also want to wait till the yamaha sz is in the market.since yamaha is also showing good performance.

Thanks,
Bike Aspirer.

Uni : There has been no serious complaints about the bike since 2004, it's damn reliable and is designed to excel in all riding conditions, be it highway cruising or city traffic Uni will never disappoint in performance.
GSR : I am sure Suzuki has sorted out few niggles once for all, GSR packs lot of features and I am sure it is sold at a price lower that it's worth as Suzuki wants to make a dent in the market. 6th speed gear is good feature for long distance sane cruising.

For me it's a simple toss of coin b/w GSR and Uni assuming Suzuki has sorted off all minor niggles it had in initial times. Uni is still a confident choice, but GSR has more features and can ride softer than Uni with two suspensions.

BTW, whatever your choice, you'll not go wrong

**Nitin_traveller** · 01-27-2010, 01:39 PM

- both are good.. take a test ride, and see where your heart goes.
- If more of highway cruising, it goes for GS.. as it has 6 gears.. better mileage and relaxed cruising on long distance..
- for GS spares etc., check GS150 ownership thread.. you can find owners specific to hyderabad also.. they can give some inputs..

best of luck..
