Sorry guys

I was in Dubai for 2 months for an assignment
Came back today only.
I checked out the Unicorn Dazzler on this website. Its a real beauty with some changes in the Mill of the Old uni.
So now the confusion is between the GS and the Dazzler.
Rest all bikes have been eliminated from my list.
TD is not done yet.

Hi dhwanit811

It is good that you have brought down your choices to two bikes. As far as reliability is concerned I don't think you will have a problem with both the bikes since both Honda and Suzuki are known for them. Suzuki GS is a great bike from the company. It has got optimum perfomance with decent mileage. My only concern would be regarding the service and spares. I guess suzuki parts are marginally costlier than the competition price tag.The best part of this bike is its engine. Not to forget it has a 6-speed gearbox which boosts cruising capabilities.

As for the Honda Dazzler, since the bike is not out much it would be too fast to comment anything. Guess it is also a 6-speed(I ain't sure). But one thing is for sure. Since it is the same engine from the Uni I guess the engine will be great and I expect it to give mileage 50+. The bike also looks bulky and the design diffrent from the 150cc bikes we have now. I am impressed anyway. Take a test drive and then decide.

I could have suggested some other bikes too but since you have narrowed down your choice it is well and good.

Do check about the service with the locals.

Choose wisely......

As far as the Uni is concerned, I believe that it needs an upgrade like other bikes in the 150 cc segment. It looks quite dated, else, I loved the engine & the performance.

Does anyone have any news or idea regarding HMSI upgrading the Unicorn or introducing the Sports Version of the Uni displayed in the Auto Expo held at Delhi?
Check out both Dazzler and GS.GS most of issues have been resolved rusting and all and also anyone having that issue are getting full replacement of parts if any.but the 2010 model of GS doesn't have that issues.

Dazzler is a upgrade over uni in looks engine is same as uni a bit tweaked test drive Dazzler and compare it with GS.

GS will beat Dazzler in comfort for sure and if you are driving in highways will recommend it.

Take test ride and decide


Edit: Dazzler is 5speed and Spare parts are a bit expensive for both Honda and suzuki.But service network is not that gr8 of zuki.

80% of your confusion will go once you test drive.Dazzler is like currently a 2/3 baked cake we can surely comment on some things like engine but other things can't since the bike is new.

as a highway tool,the GS will surely beat the dazzler.But if you look at the overall package,the dazzler surely sounds like a good deal.fit and finish is just superb and i'm in love with it's minimalistic meter console.with the fantastic engine retuned,and bits like rear disc et all,the dazzler sounds like a winner

Thanks for the great comments and suggestions.

The confusion is that the Dazzler has been recently launched and so far it has not been tried and tested. Although it has the same old Uni Mill with a better tuning, I guess it has to be tested.

On the Other hand, the GS is a fine wine, but then, Suzuki has been an IN and OUT type of a player, which might discontinue the product or the company altogether in India (This is purely my opinion).

Honda on the other hand has still continued its products (Say the Unicorn).

But come what may, I will have a TD and will go for one of these two.
