Default looking for a decent 150cc

hey guys just help me all these posts are really confusing me to choose hence i start a new thread.
i am going to change my first gen unicorn to a new bike from the 150cc segment and all these new launches have really confused every1.
i use my bike to go to college daily and ride the bike pretty well. like to challenge other bikes nd casually race. also i would like a bike which will be a good tourer too as some day i would love to take the bike and go for a long trip with my friends...
help me choose between:
1: Yamaha FZ16 (think its really gud but relatively new hence not sure)
2: TVS Apache RTR-Fi (just cant make up my mind to go for a tvs bike,
god knows why i just dont like the brand tvs)
3: Honda Unicorn ( really reliable and good)

hi
1. The FZ16 : it isnt the fastest 150, so u might end up loosing sometimes when u race. but on all other accounts, it is good. fairly comfortable, can cruise at 80-85kmph quite well, and looks awesome
2. the RTR : the fastest around, but aint too comfy for long rides. the sporty riding position isnt to everyone;s liking..
3. Unicorn : why go for the same bike again?

Why not have a look at the new Suzuki GS150R (gs150r.blogspot.com) and wait for a while before it hits the showrooms. I think there is a waiting period on the FZ16. Plus the GS150R will be cheaper than FZ and the RTR too.

As the thread title speaks "decent" 150 then only one thing comes to mind --the GSR150.This bike looks good has loads of features and above all it's a SUZUKI.So no questions on refinement, economy and overall performance. I bet the bike will spring in more surprises once it gets on road.

What about Pulsar 150 ? Either P150 or I would say go for Hunk or CBZ Extreme.

@Yam (below post): Lol. I was kidding bro . I wish I could move on. Aah..classic pulsar and classic lovers...hard to move on . I will still go for a Pulsar Classic if they were still selling it. New gen 150s don't excite me much.

leon : i know u have the first gen p150, but frankly, its time to move on. Bajaj's profits have been going down each month, and the p150 has become dated now. even the showroom people are admiting that p150 sales are all time low... the competition, it seems, has moved on...

RTR FI any day dude if you like performance to the "e" of it...........
honda is reliable, smooth but 'boring'..............

and about FZ16it's good but comparitively lot less performance as the RTR FI but it has the same initials the rossi's bike has...................."YAMAHA"(.............perio d)

FZ16 - Not good for racing in 150cc segment , It has awesome torque , awesome look : naked type with sporty wide tyres , which will attract your college collegues attention lol :P. Riding is pretty good. Above all Yamaha......

TVS APACHE RTR : If you like to race in 150cc segment - This bike is for you : Its good to stunt also , but tyres suck... Me myself didn't like TVS brand..(Nothing Offensive , its personal view).

Honda Unicorn : Very good bike , smooth and overall honda , If you like to go again with honda and just want a change then go for "Unicorn Grand Prix Edition". Pretty cool but can't match the look of fz16 and apache sporty looks.

CBZ EXTREME & HUNK : Too much common bike. But its HH , If you are HH fan go for cbz extreme (Didn't like HH except zma).

Rest is upto you.
