Please suggest any good bike within 70-80 rupees in 150 cc segment, which can give me decent mileage also will not become problem for me ( oh!! my back is getting more pain day by day).


What about Suzuki GS and also anything you can suggest me


Thanks.
You are getting back pain, because passion is a shorter bike.

Buy the gs150r, as it is a taller bike and gives good comfort. Also, has digital speedo, engine balancer for smooth engine, and 6th gear for highways.

Unicorn has monoshock, but lacks digital speedo. Buy unicorn if you want monoshock for easier turning.

Hunk and CBZ have no kicker, but buy these only if you want rear disk brake. Otherwise dont buy. If not opting for rear disk brake in CBZ/hunk, then better buy Gs150r or Unicorn.

Buy SZ-R for lightweight city commuter bike. It has kicker now and low cost too.

Apache 180 has lesser vibration than 160. Buy Apache 180 if you want to ride fast and want rear disk brake. But Apache and Pulsar need more gear changes and clutch use in slow traffic.

Fz, SZ-R, and Dazzler also are good options. But Apache, SZ-R, Fz, and dazzler might be too small for tall people.

Hero Honda(that was the name of the company when you bought the bike) products always have demand in the used bikes market. If your bike is in good shape, you might be able to recover upto 85% of the original price. Try to contact any dealer who has a used bike sales facility.

Gs150r, Unicorn, Hunk, and CBZ all are almost same height and weight. So, height and weight is not a differentiating factor among these.

The gs150r has good digital speedo with gear indicator, engine balancer, and 6th gear that helps in highway cruising. Has good power and torque. As you have rode pulsar before, I think you will actually find gs150r easier to ride.

The only reason to buy Hunk and CBZ is rear disc brake.

The only reason to buy Unicorn is monoshock; helps if you ride zig-zag in traffic. But riding zig-zag in traffic is not a safe thing, can cause accidents.

The dazzler, SZ-r, FZ16, and ApacheRTR 180 you might find slightly smaller.

Dazzler - Slightly lighter and powerful. Has rear disk, but no kicker. But thin front shock absorbers.

SZ-R - Light bike, good for city. Has kicker now.

Fz16 - Good style, good torque, thickest front shocks, has kicker, enjoyable. But mileage is low.

RTR180 - A fast and affordable bike with good quality finish. Has rear disk and kicker too. But needs more clutch use in slow riding.

The ZMA & UNI are good bike's and have been ruling the market for ages, but I believe its time to understand that these bikes are dated and their time has come. So I believe its best you opt for the GS150R, cause I've never been able to find a valid technical reason against it yet, and the best one I could come up till now was a dislike for the engine being noticeably painted in Gloss(Fear of paint peeling.).

I did a mistake of selling my Pulsar150 as it was lying unused for quite sometime and now a need has come to use bikes again. Currently using Super Splendor for a daily travel of 25KM's(Up and Down), the engine,pulling power is good but shock absorbers are bad.Gives lower back pain whenever the bike hits a small pothole or speed breaker.

What bikes can be considered now. I need a 150cc with straight seated driving position. Currently I see Unicorn, GS150R, Discover150cc are the available choices. Tried SZ-X, but was not comfortable with driving position(slightly forward inclined).

Are there any problems with CB-Unicorn like the user getting back pain due to stiffer mono-suspension.? Also is there a possibility to fix a side handle with a hook. Need to carry few things to office. :-)
