          City Riding Only ......

          So No racing - dont want Racing Looks - wanna feel smooth and painless driving then UNI is better

          Wanna race - explore the thrills of City riding - with little bit of Mileage spent ----- Stylish sporty look ----- Pulsy.....

          Wanna make people turn on your bike for the next few months ---- wanna run and find a suzki showroom in our area --- wait for spare parts....but still love to have a 6 gear....go for GSR.......

          I dont know the reason y you left RTR ............

                  Please check in your city whether Honda or Suzuki provide better service and then pick that bike.

                      having had friends who have ridden the pulsar 150, used and abused it and then had insane amount of repairs every now and then. I would say the Pulsar is out, then again there are plenty of ppl who "claim" to have had trouble free pulsars..

                      GS150R, 6th clog means plenty of gear shifts in city riding conditions esp at low speeds..

                      Unicorn on the other hand is the best bet. Ask urself this question, compared to all the other bikes available in the 2nd hand market, the unicorn is one of the rarest to find.
                      My brother has had one from one the first lots that were sold in the country.. 5 yrs since and engine is just as reliable and smooth... So much so that I recently picked up one and still say honda rocks wit this machine!!

                        @thunder: My friend is quite tall.
                        we went for the test drive of rtrfi and his knees were touching his elbows and hindering in turning.thanks
                        @inder.cool: no 125cc and no plastics. windy area riding affect the stunner. thanks
                        @hydbiker & saravjeet thanks for the suggestions
                        @naptrap: having a "trouble free" pulsar myself. as for rarity of uni in second hand market, people dont always sell of the bike when they are dissatisfied with it.people also want to upgrade too.no offences.thanks

                          none taken

                          point being, unicorns sellers are hard to come by since they are so pleased with the bike was my point.. and i state this as i looked for 2 years in the 2nd hand market for a unicorn and didn't find one, if I did then it was being sold for defects post an accident..

                          no offense no argument from my end against any other 2 wheeler in the indian market either.

                            Considering he and his father both will be using the bike. I suggest unicorn.. It has got enough fire in its belly for city sprints and also spares are not a problem..
                            If u want some fun and peppy machine then P180 is the one to pick from the 3.. It wont dissapoint u on the mileage front either.. gives a decent 45-48kmpl
                            Fun Starts at Redline!!!

                              @naptrap, the GS 150 has a very good low end and suzuki states it as XTP... pls check the ownership thread... you can run the bike at very low speed and pickup speed decently fast without shifting down.... I puled the bike forward from a U turn at 10 KMPH in 3rd... without a jerk and was thinking that I was in 2nd until I looked a the console...
