Hello Friends.

I am Dhwanit Trivedi from Ahmedabad. Currently I own a Caliber 115 and I want to upgrade to a higher segment (Preferably 150 cc)

Here is some of the information that would be helpful to the fellow members to help me choose the best option.

1. Fuel efficiency should be respectable. (50 - 55 kmpl in mixed driving conditions)

2. Long term reliability and durability. (Say the bike would be lasting atleast 4 to 5 years in a good & drivable condition without major overhauls of engine or replacement of body parts)

3. Maintenance, service & spares should be available at ease and should cost as low as possible.

4. It should provide a respectable performance and joy of riding.

5. My most of the driving will be on highways, so I prefer a bike with an upright seating position.

6. Sorry to Yamaha fans, but I have discarded the FZs and Fazers from the count as they cost more than the segment they are in (150 cc). So I prefer a P180 if I am suggested a Yamaha)

7. My budget is 80 K INR.

8. I prefer a bike with a digital speedo, however it is not a must.

9. I can wait for a month or two more if any good models are to be launched till the Month of May.

10. My height is 5' 8".

I have a few bikes on my mind like
The Hero Honda Hunk
The Suzuki GS 150 R
The Pulsar Series (Both 150 & 180)

Please help me choose a bike that would be serve as an overall package to suit my requirements.

Suzuki GS150 for sure. You could also have a look at RTR 160.

If you have a budget of 80k and you want a upright sitting position you can also take a look at karizma-r

but how zma delivers 50-55kmpl mileage as the topic starter wants a reasonable mileage

I would suggest u to look after the unicorn which satisfies all ur requirements(expect digi console)

Go for p220dtsi everything comes ur opinion except the mileage.Pleasure in riding in highways anyway u will get a mileage above 40 in hihgways after your first service.Better dont go for zma or unicorn

yesterday evening I had a test drive of the GS 150 and it was quite decent.

However when I read the GS150 Ownership threads, I found that the Mileage is inconsistent and there are some rust related issues. So I would like to know from the GS150 owner members whether this problem has been rectified in the new batch or not?

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?

Pulsar 180, but mileage will be a concern...... go for Pulsar 150..........Still I am getting as advertised 50+....
