now about me......... im 5'10, skinny, college student extremely interested in TOURING (hence comfort for long rides) , NEED 45+ avg , MINIMUM maintanence cost, long life, no long term problems and finally looking for a great life long riding experience

so these are my shortlisted bikes in order of preferance
1.impulse
2.dazzler
3.gs 150r

also after seeing the new pulsar200ns im completely affected, but to waait till april is painful. is the bike really worth waiting for?

Query Approved

Kindly refrain from asking about the P200NS, the bike is not available and most opinions here will be based on its face value.

Out of the 3 bikes you have shortlisted, I would recommend GS150R. It recently got a small upgrade and is quite a good bike. Refer to the GS150R ownership thread which has more than 10000 posts. You will find answers to all your queries there.

Also, Pulsar 200NS sure looks promising but it would be more expensive than any of the bikes you have shortlisted. To wait for it is totally up to you.

if you can wait for new P200 ,You should because that will be an amazing bike However in those 3 bikes you listed Gs150 will suit you more...

Why not an FZ?
its a nice 150 segment bike with nice and comfi handling and seating.
its a yamaha so nil to maintain.
easy to handle on bad roads even...

give it a thought

If you can wait and afford the P200NS, then put your plans on hold. Otherwise, for a budding tourer, the GS150R makes more sense. Under relaxed riding conditions, it offer an FE of about 55. It is a Suzuki product so not many people will doubt its reliability and like.

interested in touring >gs 150 r will do
avg 45+>gs 150 r and dazzler both will do
skinny built>gs 150 r can be stiff handler at parking speed
reliability>both will do
if you can stretch your budget>consider fazer as those semi-fairing are wind-blast tested.although its 150 cc heart will not be as tour-friendly as zmr.p220 or cbr.mileage figure will be around 38-45
