Finally
Dazzler[First preference](on road 73643rs and74744rs[dual color] ),
Hunk(73k fr disc) and Xtreme(74k) sharing same engine will be second preference

I will test ride Dazzler and Xtreme after my semester exams i.e. 25 june
[No need of TD of Hunk as my brother have it and i know its comfortable but mileage is only 40 sane city riding]
His view is also that check out dazzler and Xtreme about comfort and mileage,if is more than Hunk buy that or else last option is Hunk.

Till then u can give me your suggestions about these three bike i will share my experience about TD and then get that bike.

I think dazzler is not gonna suit your height at all, Even you can try Honda unicorn very refined engine, comfortable mono shock, big bike (compared to dazzler), Looks are also 6 out of 10 (Personal Opinion).

About the hunk mileage its not that bad dude, you know it depends on your riding style you can even cant get more than 45 from a passion or a platina if you driving rash or revving hard all the time so it vary all the time, believe me my hunk delivered me around 58 when i drive very good at around 45-55kmph
and the same less then 45 when i drive rash and In the case of xtreme it is also a good bike engine is same of both hunk and xtreme, comfort may vary.

This comparo might help.

Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler vs competition - Overdrive

I was using Fiero F2 till this day but have sold it for upgrade and while writing this I'm crying, because I loved my baby very much.

Please help me to choose a good bike as I give out my choice of reasons for each bike.

TVS Apache RTR 160 OTR ~73k

I like TVS brand very much because they run very well without giving many problems and also their parts are cheap. As all my bikes from Max R to Fiero were from this company, I had not much problems with them. But a big no to Apache because, these TVS guys shutdown a product very soon. Apache 150 came and disappeared very soon and also I think they will shut down 160 because they are concentrating on 180 more nowadays. So can't guarantee these people, with 5 years their vehicles get disappeared. So this is the only reason no for Apache.

Honda Unicorn 150 OTR ~76k

Good bike but waiting period simply disgusting and much hyped vehicle, certainly brand name Honda has value but also too much of ask for a simple vehicle. I rode this vehicle several times and the more it gets old it gets worst. Big not to Unicorn

Hero Honda CBZ Extreme or Hunk whatever OTR ~77k

Another Honda product with different name, sells for its name but now it's just Hero and there is not much to take from it.


Yamaha FZ -16 OTR ~77k

I'm fan of Brand Yamaha from my childhood, not only bikes whatever they make right from musical keyboard to Racing bikes, they are the King.

I was big fan of RX100 and I wanted to own it but it didn't happen because when I started earning, petrol prices started soaring and the vehicle disappeared. When FZ was launched, I fell in love with her at first sight and it was my dream to buy this girl and I hope God will bless me with this one very soon

So I'm asking you guys, should I go for Yamaha FZ-16, and if I ride with steady speed of 45-55 km/hr, will I get the mileage of atleast 42 km/l. Please help guys, Am I doing right thing by going for Yamaha

Thanks

Go for the Unicorn or Xtreme.

Better to go for a Suzuki GS150, nice big bike for your height, 6 gears, good mileage and a very stable higway package since your are going to be having a substantial amount of state highway on your commute. It is a bit too bulky for city riding but my opinion is that you always get used to the bulk after all even CBR250 is a nice big bike but once you get used to it, it can be a breeze even in the city!
Besides with your height, the GS150 will not feel so bulky at all. Consider GS150, it is a good bike!

Second option go for the updated Hunk.

Stay away from FZ since tall people look total comedy on FZ according to my personal opinion. I could have suggested Yamaha 150 commuter bikes but I feel they are very much city bikes and lack the power to ride on highways

I booked gs150r but due no svc near cancelled it(Latur-135km away).
Waiting for a reply from suzuki about their planning about svc in nanded,if they will be bringing in 1yr then i will go for gs150r, But sad thing is that its nearly 15-20 days i had no reply from suzuki.

Had a TD of Dazzler its totally uncomfortable for me.
Unicorn was much more comfortable than Dazzler.
The question will be still their UNICORN, HUNK/XTREME?
Apart from this poll is more inclined towards HUNK/Xtreme.

I am with Samarth the best bike in 150 range is Dazzler but it's 10k more than your budget! it comes approx 86k+/- on road in mumbai.

Fact you can't denie is most of the fuel effecient bikes are from Bajaj with in very attractive prices. You are awesomely tall and a 100 cc is this a question!

50-55KMPL is very rare in city by any 150cc bike.

You can go with Yamaha SZr which has good build/technology and efficiency too. it will45-50kmpl in city.

Dazzler is good. but priced is more. Don't worry on kick start. if you use it daily then it's not an issue. Battery needs few check up in regular intervals

Else Stunner is also good!

please don't assume that you will 50kmpl+ in city by any 150cc bike! it will vary.

Dazzy is pricy with nothing to offer ( feels like chinese product) , its shear waste of money from riding point of view , no feelings , no feedback,etc , comparatively Unicorn is gem and stands by honda name . No kick start is a curse for buying this expensive wheels , specially after 1-2 years , you will regret as SC has no answers . Honda has placed modified engine in 100 cc chassis to make it lighter.
150 cc bikes do return FE of 50 KPL+ in any city driving conditions like bajaj pulsar/discover/boxer 150 , suzuki GS150r , all proven.

As per your quots yammy is cheaper as they have not raised prices , it was expensive then 1/2 years ago by 8k. if FE is not your concern go for it , competition doesn't have answer for it in looks dept atleast

It's not Hunk or Xtreme, it's only Xtreme.

If you have narrowed to these three then it will be Hunk !! Becuase it's chaep then Unicorn and it has the dual disc system + spare parts are available any where and good service network. Better than Honda netowork.

Unicorn is best but it's costly and spares are too costly than other competitors. it don't come with dual disc. good engine and service. but not that good with local mechanic.

If you plan to get Hunk,do get it with the read disc! front disc is not confidence inspiring (Rear one is from nissin so its really good)
