  3. MonoShock suspension
  4. Kerb Weight 138Kgs
  5. Only Electric Start
  6. 5 Gears
  7. Console doesnt have gear indicator
  8. Console Blue and White lights
  9. Has good service network
Suzuki GS150R
  1. Net Power 13.8BHP@8500rpm
  2. Front Disk and Back Drum
  3. 2 Coil Spring oil damped
  4. 149Kgs
  5. Both Kick Start and Electrical
  6. 6 gears
  7. Console has gear indicator Indiacator
  8. Orange light
  9. Check - service network
As per the design both are good, as per my experience with dazzler the engine is very smooth, i dont know about GS150R

I ll post the pic of Console at night later...
Hey Good pics Ken... This one is ready to take on the GS. On viewing your pics I would like to give my opinion. Would love to see it on par with GS in the 0-100 drag

Likes:
-Looks better that the unicorn
-Seems to have an edge over GS in power, not sure abt the torque
-Rear discs.. too good (am really missing it in my GS)


Dislikes:
-Rear indicator protrudes out ... could get hurt and hang.
-Unicorn's head light looked better
-Havent seen any pics of console at night; but GS's console looks better than this.

Hi,

I have been using Suzuki Fiero for 10 years. Dont feel like selling the bike as it has been very reliable. As you have also owned the bike, can you compare both the bikes?

From what I've heard, both fiero and tvs F2 are really good bikes. I just hope that gs is reliable too... But you cannot close your eyes on a honda as they have proven over the past decade. Its the honda the edges suzuki here (Thats how I viewed it from the number people who have owned honda and are more than satisfied). But somehow suzuki won my heart.
Dazzler SHOULD be a good bike and you need to test drive both and decide. I'll also suggest you to testdrive a GS that has run more that 8K kms on the odo.. Thats when the engine sets well....
In the end do what ur heart says and you'll never regret..

hey shadow[RBS],
tis is completely my personal opinion...i believe wen it comes to selection u shud always listen to ur heart...
i see u r in dual mind whether to go for CB Unicorn (since u like it very much) whose design is not sync wit current sporty models or to be a dazzler which has been just rolled out and will b the most happening bike for atleast 4months
nxt lined up is GS150R, i wud say the current sticker design is not very appealing, i see it inline with the fiero's or the starcity kindof design somethings really missing as far as looks is concerned..

at 6 ft n 80kgs dazzlers may not look very good on u though GS and Uni r the perfect ones...
once u hav the bike dont be in denial listen to ur heart bcoz the shortcomings on ur selection will be short lived...

Nice bike congrats bro..........

some of the things i noticed......although its my personal opinion...
  • the engine side packaging is very neat and compact. this gives a nice clean look.
  • the overall design could have been better.
  • silencer is still that huge one and looks ugly to me.
  • rear tyre mudflap is also not very attractive.
  • the console is just ok in terms of looks. that analog tacho and digital display combo idea ---everone seems to be going the pulsar way....with different shape and size combinations.
  • headlight design could have been better. this typical kind of headlight design make the bike look thinner than it actually is.

tell us ..whether the bike has AC+DC electricals or only DC.

above mentioned points are my personal opinion.......otherwise the bike is good one......congrats once more........enjoy riding.........do the running-in process thoroughly & properly....as mentioned in the manual.

Thanks prince, i too agree with you that there are few drawbacks, its the overall impression what i really looked into...

This bike has both DC and AC, they should have gone for only DC option....honda needs to listen to the users.....

Good to here that u too are experienced with Fiero for 10 years, Fiero is an amazing bike...which will never give u unexpected trouble... reliable strong and safe...
As per my experience with Fiero there are too much to say... i have driven more than 1 Lakh kms with this bike... out of which the failures are hardly countable.. of course i was looking after that bike nicely... u know with this many years of company....theres some bonding develops between u and bike...that was really amazing...the only reason behind departing it is lack of service, support and availability of parts... with a lot of hard feeling i departed from it....

As am new to Unicorn Dazzler yet i need to understand it precisely....it requires some more time before i make comparison between Fiero and Dazzler...

Hi its basically individual perception of how the bike need to fit u. other than the suitability its the comfort which matters when driving a vehicle, equally there are other factors also to look into like mileage, pickup etc... some people need power but not mileage. some people expect highest fuel economy and they are not bothered about its power. So u need to analyze all these various aspects...
