go for dazzler coz it has all latest technology
its good as its not common ( i love this thing as people keep starring at our bike and are curious to know what machine is this)
looks decent as i hate looking at pulsars now (except 220 )
awesome mileage
rear discs
what else you want???
performance wise our senior members can comment better then me

The moment you see this requirement that too in caps only bike that comes to every mind is FZ. As in looks department none are anywhere near it. Unfortunately the performance doesn't match upto it(the looks ). Never-the-less its one of the best city-tools around.

Drawbacks :
Low MILEAGE.
Higher end pull is sluggish.
Alloy-bend issues have been faced by lotsa customers.

You say you want to keep it for 8 years. Now no one beats a HONDA in engine reliability...PERIOD!!! Dazzler would be a great choice here and performance-wise its just next to RTR160 in that segment.Looks though are subjective


My take : FZ (The damn thing looks too HOT to ignore )

If MILEAGE cant be overlooked at any cost then its DAZZLER all the way!!!

I would recommend Dazzler. I agree that it's not that hot in looks. But sure is descent. And being Honda, I guess you won't be much frustrated with it in the next long 8 years. The bike is reliable for city rides and long rides.

It seems like you are already in love with pulsar. Ultimate decision is yours. So sure consider your likes and dislikes. Because its you who is going to live with it, not anyone else here.

why not a Zma-R I think with 80000 budget you can go for it since you want to keep it for next eight years a more reliable thing will do so its Zma-R(hero honda) or Dazzler(honda) since both are well known for reliability

You sure meant SS125? Gladiator production has been stopped.

my say it has to be a GS150R...........

its the most refined engine i ever rode........
its uber smooth.....
gives mileage around 58-60kmpl....
looks like a beast....check it out in reality
even though its the heaviest among 150cc seg it gives top speed of 127kmph(verified by me and Mach50) without mods....
no vibrations even at 120kmph+ speeds
is rock stable at such high speeds.......
is a perfect bike for touring......(its 2 G2G old)
can do cornering well.......
one of the best looking consoles.....
can smoke out with the likes of R15,karizma,zmr,pulsar220.....(forget about other 150cc bikes........they are nowhere in picture.........as experrienced from my latest lavasa G2G....)
gives you a feel of riding something big......
its heavy still you can stunt with this one.....Mach50 has posted a video in GS ownership section......
three modes to drive according to your necessaties.......
if you want mileage the ECO mode
if you want power like that of karizma's then POWER mode
if you want both then GOD mode(that's what people call it)
and you can easily rely on this one for 10 years!!!


drawbacks........
since its heavy it will take time for you to handle it........otherwise it glides its way out......
and the only problem which i face is the headlamp....its adequate for city riding but not for highway.........(fix a HID and this is solved.....)
All the best for your bike.............and Ride Safe!

ravi i think he hasn't ridden a karizma may be thats why he speaks like that

It is always the rider, not the ride. If that is what you mean, I can understand the above point a bit. But comparing GS150R with ZMA-R/ZMR/P220 is really funny. If you say so, leave other 150cc bikes, my 135 can go toe to toe with your GS150R.

It is always better to be not too optimistic, nor too pessimistic, rather to be realistic. You are a good rider, and have a good bike. This dosen't mean other performance bikes which are better than GS150R to get outta picture.

And yes, R15, only bike in india which can compete it is P220. Leave the other bikes outta comparison really.
