    Lets not corrupt the SZR thread with silly who is better than whom now.
    SZR,SS125,Discover150 and Pulsar135LS....were meant to provide fuel efficiency,riding comfort while being performing fast commuters and no matter however good they do,they would all require more than that to be of enthusiast's interest.

    When I talk about these bikes,its just not about performance,but also ride comfort,road manners,fuel efficiency and all.
    really.. better be with an FZ then.. coz, with SZ-R it's not possible!!
    ya. it's not about who is better.. when I mentioned this can't compete with P135LS.. my point was VFM.. there is no need to price it at 55k just to show brand superiority... in doing so the purpose of getting good numbers is defeated. That's why I mentioned they faltered in pricing it at 55k..

        FZ is for Pulsar150Dtsi..........not for Pulsar135LS.


        If they faltered in pricing the the SZR at 55K,then find me one 150cc(other than the lack lustre Discover150) with disc-brakes,electric start and alloy wheels which costs 55K.
        Its a price range for 125cc and 135cc bikes.
        Superb ride comfort and adequate power along with Fuel Efficiency at such a price definitely makes SZR the winner...........I am sure it will win a Bike of the Year award this time.

            Really? When did you last ride the SZ-R and P135LS..??

            Even the FZ would struggle at 100+ kmph speeds compared to the P135LS.

            There is one: Hero Honda Achiever with front disc + alloys + self start

              I have spotted the SZ a couple of times in Bangalore, looks really good. Good for tall riders too. If I had to choose between the P135 and the SZ, i would definitely prefer the SZ.

              OT :- The rear of the P135 is a mess.

                Is the szr even available in the showrooms yet?

                  God knows, why HH have neglected the Achiever, they would have got in some decent nos with it.

                  I guess with already two bikes in the same category hunk and CBZ, they dont want to add to the customers confusion of selecting a 150.

                    Okay its there but still its good enough to skip my attention.
                    The Achiever continues to be in the stables since Apache 150 times,so long that even skips Hero Honda's attention itself
                    And moreover,Achiever in my city costs 62K..........which well exceeds the 60K mark and hovers away from the sub 150cc price territory.

                    Again,at that price its tougher to be a 150cc and to be a good looker and aesthetically styled at the same time.................SZR does it still.

                      I feel the disk version should be the only one which should be on showroom and not the drum ones... they should be made completely redundant and taken off the product line up of yamaha.. although yamaha may have a price point plan for the drum ones... just a personal opinion

                        The Delhi Ex-showroom price of the Hero Honda Achiever is around Rs. 55K, which is exactly the same as that of the SZ-R. So both the SZ-R and the Achiever are priced at par.

                        The Discover 150 is priced at around Rs. 47K (Ex-showroom Delhi) which puts it Rs. 8K lower than both the Achiever and the SZ-R. So in terms of price the Discover is at a different level altogether and the SZ-R and Achiever on another.

                        In terms of styling/appeal the SZ definitely looks good. According to me all that Yamaha India needs to do is to change the perception of the common public that "Yamaha stands for Power but NOT for fuel economy".

                        The SZ priced at Rs. 49,000 Ex-Showroom Delhi gives a chance to grab the attention of the public and make them at least enter the Yamaha showroom.

                            i dont really think so.. in smaller towns, the drum version will still sell..
                            most of the indian commuters still use only the rear brake, as they believe that front brake will send them flying in the air!!
                            also there is a common perception that disc brakes are very sharp and very dangerous!

                              Exactly bro.. that should be the case.. imagine someone comes and sees this 150cc without disc-brake.. he can't find any 150cc without disc-brake.. even Disco150 .. retailing at 47k(ex-showroom) got a disc in front.. so it's certainly a let down. People in village areas may still be using drum brakes..doesn't mean they don't want disc brakes..

                                As far as I know.. Yamaha was sitting very pretty in that position few years ago.. I mean everybody knew that "Yamaha stands for power but not for fuel economy".. with the entry of 4-stroke bikes.. Yamaha lost it's focus.. they tried to imitate HH by releasing models like crux,libero etc.. But they forgot what actually Yamaha stood for in Indian biker's mind..

                                I remeber reading one of Rajiv Bajaj's interview, where he mentioned that he walked up to Yamaha stall in Delhi auto expo.. and told them you guys are remembered for fast & sexy bikes.. not economical ones.. why are you trying to produce fuel efficient 100cc bikes? so true.. even today.. R15 is the only bike that is truly Yamaha.. FZ is just a show piece appeals to style conscious, Yamaha loving guys.
