Hi All,
After loosing sleep on choosing the bike, I am here to seek help of all you guys out here. The forums have been very informative but I am here especially for your views about the newly launched Unicorn CB Dazzler when put against GSX 150 R.

So coming to my needs and inclinations:
I am a 5'6" and light (60 kg) guy and need to choose a ride. I wish to put the bike to following uses:
1. Mostly for daily office commute, 40 KM of Stop go city traffic with few 3-7 KM stretches.
2. Comfortable for a female sitting in Indian dress like Saree etc (not cross legged)
3. Off the shelf fresh. I am bored of too many Pulsars, CBZZzzzz and Unicrons.
4. Mileage not a major criterion (50-60 will do)
5. I love technology so something top notch in this section
6. Usable for a loong drive once in a while. To home about 160 Km one side. So stamina is necessary.
7. I like to ride tough at times so should be able to take some abuse. Though I pamper the bike well too


My personal research landed me to two last options and choosing one of them has taken my appetite away.

Unicorn CB Dazzler: Rear disc is what has taken my heart away and no doubt the tubeless tires, better styling. Looks a little starved from the body styling and I worry it does't have a Saree Guard cum Footrest. The seat length may also be uncomfortable for women sitting on the side, mostly with some luggage eg after a shopping spree.

GSX 150 R: Looks muscular, is almost as refined, comes with few latest goodies (console, 6th cog etc). Is heavy so I think will be stable on highway. And plenty of space for the pillion rider.

I have driven them and I found Dazzler peppy and responsive (I personally like it) and GSX 150 R seemed serene and efficient (lots of practicality for my purposes)

The biggest dilemma is that I dont want to missout on the goodies provided by Honda, but also don't want to compromise on the practicality of GSX 150 R.

So the questions that arise are:
Is GSX 150 R good and agile enough for city driving?
Is GSX 150 R's rear drum good enough to provide safety as compared to Honda's disk?
Could Honda provide a rear side footrest and leg guard in future?
Does Honda have enough space for the pillion rider?

Of course I can get the tublesses and MF Battery on GSX as well. I love the console and stance of fuel tank on the GSX 150 R.

* I live in Chandigarh so Suzuki's service network is not an issue here.
* Please avoid suggesting alternatives as I am already messed up in the head.

All please advise. Any owners of Dazzler here?
Thanks in advance

Aryan

Topic Approved.

Thanks all for the quick responses.

I am as close to go for the Dazzler as these two dots: he he

Only concerns are:
Comfortable for a female sitting in Indian dress like Saree etc (not cross legged)

and question no 4:
Could Honda provide a rear side footrest and leg guard in future?

I hope Honda will have enough juice to go on a highway and stability etc is out of question being a Honda.

Regards.

Get the FZ if mileage is not much of a concern.. else get the dazzler..

New Technology in Dazzler:

-Better cam profile for more power
-MF battery. So confident that they took the kick off
-Rear disc. New for 150 cc commuter(ish) segment at least
-Front cowls to redirect the airflow.
-Engine cam cover has a vent to provide airflow 'over' the cam cover
-Tubeless tires. Both!
-Electronic speedometer, fuel gauge, tripmeter, odometer
-Dual spring, 5-step adjustable monoshock suspension
-Of couse styling
-Reduced wieght

Enough to give your heart to

Hi all members,

If I had to choose a bike, I would have based on the reviews elsewhere in the forum. I have some unique concerns about the choice. Please read my opening post.

This way your replies will hold more value for directing me in my decision.

Thanks

2. Comfortable for a female sitting in Indian dress like Saree etc (not cross legged)
