Default Bought Dazzler on 5th June 2010 220kms done

Wednesday 2nd June -- I am ready to shell out 75k for P180 but Bajaj guys ask me to get a few changes done in the letter issued from my office as address proof.

Thursday 3rd June -- Office guy tells me letter will only be ready on friday. Meanwhile i am sulking over giving up my first love Unicorn and instead choosing P180. I read somewhere on this forum that Dazzler is available in Cochin --200kms from Trivandrum where currently i am.I call agency in the evening and they confirm about availability.

Friday 4th June -- I get address proof from office.

Saturday 5th June
6am-9:30am To Cohin by train
I reach the agency and book my vehicle. I chose silver over gold as gold looked gawdy to me. Personal opinion.
12:00 - 3:00pm I watch Rajneeti
6:00pm Vehicle is ready but there is a scratch on silencer plate so i asked them for a replcament. Even the replacement had a scratch though quite minor so i accept it.

My riding exp. - I rode my CDDeluxe at home a lot and after coming to Trivandrum i rode my friends Passion. Since the last two months i was riding my friends' P220 as he broke his leg.
When the pros used to say "butter smooth" gears and precise shifts i never used to appreciate it. Thanks to Dazzler for enlightening me on that . After the Pulsar experience Dazzler seemed simply amazing.
Yes gears can be butter smooth.
Pulsar's gears sound "Khat-Khat" while shifting Dazzler is just "Click". Gear shifts are smooth and precise. Even getting it on neutral in traffic which i remember a herculean task on Pulsar is breezy on Dazzler.
Engine -- sorry you cannot make out if it is running under 4k rpm. It shows all the traits of the smoothness on the old UNi. Since i haven't riden the old Uni much cannot compare pickup but i was pretty impressed with Dazzler's.
Ride quality is superb. Even after a 5hr 220km ride i am writing this review at 2:30 in the night. THat should testify. Last two hrs of my ride i rode in conitnuous rain and it was pretty stable at ~50kmph.

Mileage--3.5 ltrs for 220kms--comes arnd 60 i guess. When i fill next time i'll check reserve to reserve.

Coming to looks -- which matter the least to me. Well it may not redefine looks as FZ has done but its a decently good looker. Looks like big bro of the Twister. Unlike other bikes which have dual rear shocks the full rear tyre is visible without any obstrcutions which make it look majestic from rear.
Well it may not "Dazzle" any onlooker but the possession of such a fine machine will definitely put a smile on your face

You choose what you care more about -- your smile or others' dazzles.

anybody got crash guard fitted on Dazzler?
The dealer told me no other crash guard and saree guard fits onto this and ones for it are expected next month..i didnt want the saree guard but i am very scared without a crash guard. If the bike falls or something even accidentally the side cowl and honda logo will take the beating.
Please if anyone could get any crash guard fitted on this one tell me..
