@ ShahriarXtreme.. Looking at ur requirement i feel the FZ would be an ideal choice... but also think it would help you if you can check out YAMAHA'S new offering the Sz-X which is a 150cc bike and you can get all the details here.

Launched: Yamaha SZ 153cc and Yamaha YBR 125cc

hope its helpful

cheers

thnx for ur reply........
but fz's fuel efficiency is worst in bangladesh because of poor fuel quality.people here are getting 25-35kmpl max.
but the main thing- fz is great till 70kmph but after then its slow i mean too slow.so in highway i wont have a good cruising experience.every month i have to travel 500km from my home to where i'm living now.
thats why i eliminated fz unless u people say otherwise...

about sz.....well it'll take minimum 8months to arrive in bangladesh......& i wont consider it.....because its only 12 ps & max torque comes @4500rpm.....so its not a revvy engine.....i like to take bikes to redline.......fast
btw thnx again.......

Unicorn is a proven bike, but looks so old.
You can opt for GS150R too.

If both not available go to P150

shahriar bro you have made a good option of picking the CBZ-xtreme no looking back hero honda is well known for its reliability and handling of the lot the only thing thats near close is only unicorn if you want better mileage go for unicorn IMO 1-CBZ-X 2- unicorn

looking at all of your needs let me tell you a thing
the bike with good cruising ability might not have a high top end
in my opinion fz 16 is the 1 that fits into your needs
it has a superb torque figure descent top end
excellent handling(the best part of it) stunning looks
and most important a reliable engine and brand!
