Default Gonna book a bike tomorrow ! Dazzler VS CB Unicorn

Hi folks,
I am in a real hurry ! Tomorrow i am gonna book a honda bike . But i am really confused between CB Unicorn and Dazzler. I took a test drive of dazzler today ! It was good. The main conditions i am looking for is

1. Good look
2. My MOM(she is quite big) must be able to sit comfortably
3. Good mileage

I heard from my friends the cowl and other parts of the dazzler will not be stable as time progresses. For instance if i put down the bike .. What will happen to bike?? I am specifically asking this coz honda spares are costly!

Another thing which bothers me is half chain guard ! Will it pose a problem for my mom and maintenance >?

Awaiting reply ! I am running outta time

Bike Choice Approved

I personally would say go for "newer" tech, though apparently there is not "much" difference in tech in the two!

go for the dazzler & as ken told the new tech would be better. The open chain cover would make the chain maintanence easier but it would increase the maintanence. Other than this no other problems are there.
