hi thanks for approval sunil and for reply ravi...dazzler is nice but if you can say why ...it will help alot

dazzler is too uncommon here and pulsar is too much common

awaiting more replies
ill shorten my 1st post if its lengthy
thanks

Add GS to the list as well. A very able tourer and city commuter, with mileage above 50. Besides, the road presence is wonderful, which I think Dazzler will lack severely.

Mu suggestion would be to opt for dazzler... Saying that with personal experience...
I rode a pulsar 150 for 2.6 years, got bugged with its maintainence... The bike spent more weekends in the service station than with me...
Sold her off and bought a dazzler and have been riding her since the last one and half months... Too good bike, trust me... Reliable and smooth engine that no other competitor can offer...
P.S : No intentions of starting a brand war, my personal experience
The final decision lies on you... Take a test ride of dazzler again, it ll surely impress you...

Dazzler is just launched and has all the latest features. Advantages of Dazzler:

1. Smoothest and refined engine, which is very relaible. Best for long-term ownership.
2. Great mileage (55 kmpl)
3. Though looks are subjective, it looks good and new.
4. All the latest features: Digital console, rear disc, wide rear tyre, tubeless tyres, monosuspension, etc.
5. Excellent handling.
6. Light weight (138 kgs).
7. Very comfortable riding position.
8. Reasonably good acceleration, second to RTR.
9. Good service back-up from Honda.

Go with your heart. Seems like you already like P150 UG4.5. Go become another pulsar maniac ( I am one too )

Pulsar is only bike which has all DC electrical. It's 71k OTR here in Kolkata/Hooghly.

Make sure you maintain it/any bike well to keep it for next 8 years

Go for Gladiator and save money for petrol/service expenses!

If you are still keen on a 150cc bike!

Hunk/GS150R/Dazzler would be my options if I were in your place. Hunk's upgrade is due and is expected to launch in september with same features as in Dazzler!

They all share similar mileage under sane riding conditions..also check with manufracturer has good service in your place.
