Hey bro,

FZ-S and Dazzler will suit you better since both have bulky appearance. FZ-S is a little more stylish than FZ-16(my perspective).

FZ will give you 40+ mileage on normal driving. If you have any idea of ripping forget that figure. FZ will give you top class ride comfort and very refined engine. Cornering will be a pleasure.

Dazzler is a kind of all rounder. No comments on its handling since the bike is pretty new to the market. Refined and trustworthy mill from the Unicorn. Honda has given the Dazzler whatever the Uni didn't have. Rear disc boosts its value. Mileage will be 55+(as per the company) so that's a bonus.

Take a test drive between both and update us.

This might help.

I wud rather suggest You to go for P180 UG 4 .. Suits all your needs ,

MIN CC = 150 CC << 180 CC
wheels TYPE = Alloy << YES
Tyres = tubeless (not necessary...) << YES
braking system = disc(at least front one) << Front Disc

i need a mixture of style(first preference) and mileage << Bingo..

Its Has Wider tires and Pretty good styling ... Of course if Your not bored of the Revolutionary Wolf Eyed Headlight .. You can go for it hands Down..

But I wud also suggest you to TD P220 s ... Its wud cost u around 75-76 k's and a true VFM..

If You want awesome styling + kicka$$ handling then go for FZ-S ...

Again this depends Upon your uses ... Pulsar 180 or 220S wud give you rock solid stability on highways ... in crosswinds.. Overtaking is much easier with the raw Power...

I have experienced Fz shaking like hell while overtaking trucks on highways...

SO the choice depends on your uses..

thx...for ur reply...
i did test drive both of them....
fz felt light ...
dazzler was a bit heavy....and when i sat on back seat...the view was gr8...i was able to see clearly over the drivers head...

i learnt bike driving just 10 days ago...so i cant tell much about handling....

i actually went ahead and ordered the dazzler... but then some of my friends said that... dazzler is good.... but students need style which i get from Fz..they said " mileage is for uncles". so i cancelled the dazzler..and decided to rethink....it...


can u tell me about the resale value of fz and dazzler after say 3to4 years...?

FZ being a lighter bike, is more susceptible to shake in crosswinds as compared to any Pulsar which are much heavier. FZ when compared with R15 has a lot less shake as the Full fairing acts like a Sail Boat in crosswinds.

can u tell about the resale values of fz and p180 and dazzler? All 3 will have decent resale values after the end of 2-3 years.
thx

Nitrox.. Well it has proved that its worth ... though u gonna find P180's split seat bit stiff..

Pillion seat is much harder..

And my GF complains its like sitting in railways waiting room chairs ..

About P220 ... I suggested You P220S and Not P220 F ... Street Fighter Is Good VFM product.. i am not sure about its price range at your place.. Just inquire with the local dealer...

FZ is truely Lord Of streets ... Best range of Low end Torque and stylish Outlook make her stand ahead on street roads..

About FZ shaking while over taking big trucks on highways..
antz.bin bhai has already put his light on this issue in previous post.. i cant better him .. )

Though wont give same pleasure on highways... If you gonna make choice , do it by test driving all of 'em ....
