Hi Experts,

The Batterry in Dazzler seems little depressing. Do you think 4 AH battery is sufficient for a 150 CC Bike without a kick-paddle? Even Old Uni is carrying 12V 7AH battery. The Pulsers & RTR is with 9 AH. And even for 135 CC bikes with self, they give 5 AH bats..

And how'abt the Maintenance Free ones? I personally feel they have shotter life compared to the regular once. Do they work in the winter mornings on the first start? Or you will need to push it (remember no kicker)

Pls share your views.

Got a call from my cousin(Who owns the dealership here) that he's unloading Dazzler and will be put up for Display, so I went immediately and grabbed the keys and rode astride the new Unicorn Dazzler.

It took a while for me to find this in the middle of a bunch of CB twister's, from front it is rather difficult to differentiate both.

Switched it on and the after the customary self check, noticed speedo cable was not yet attached( for obvious reasons ). No engine kill switch means just an accidental touch would start bike and if it is in gear, you know the result coz I just missed one, I was taking it out of the parking lot and while turning it accidentally touched my notes which I kept on tank and bike started accidentally, luckily I had clutch engaged, otherwise it would have been a disaster

First impression, Seating posture is nice, neither too commuter type nor too sporty,Tank is thin unlike uni, knee recess are usual Honda, PERFECT FIT, handle is very light when compared to Unicorn, easy to flick in traffic.

Unlike CB Unicorn, Throttle response is aggressive this time, it sprints forward like an apache, This definitely doesn't feel like Unicorn, It is very light and agile, easily flickable. Since Speedo wasn't attached I coudln't tell the exact speeds it was doing but this definitely feels faster than UNI.
I have spent a lot of time with my dad's I gen UNI and CB unicorn, which sprints quickly to 50KMPH and then takes a while to get to 70-80. looks like Dazzler is doing 60-70 in a short sprint before it starts to feel sluggish.
Engine is as usual smooooooth and torque figures are visible since It sprints forward in the same manner when I rode alone and even when we both rode together.

I wish the dual colour paint scheme(red and White) on uni sports, shown at Auto expo should have been given on Dazzler, It looks much better than this single colour paint scheme

Ok enough blah blah here goes the pics, don't mind the location I was in a hurrry

Checked out the Dazzler today at JSP Honda. Overall, a better product than Unicorn with very good features. It would easily be one of the best 150ccs currently available.

But, though styling is on good side, it lacks of the charm of Stunner or Twister. Many lines are confusing. The tail light is the worst design. I still feel HOnda could have plonked this 150cc mill in Stunner Avatar and named it CBF Stunner 150.

I do not understand where they got the name 'Dazzler'. Unicorn Sports would have been a straight hit.

Apart from styling, everything is right with the Dazzler, particularly the pricing (pre-launch reports indicated an estimated 10k extra); just 3.5k extra than CB Unicorn. Good pricing with lots of features.

uni takes 5500 rpm to produce 1.3kgm torque (1000 rpm lesser then dazzler)
uni takes 8000 rpm to produce 13.3 bhp (500 rpm lesser then dazzler)
uni has a more sensible tyre section
how can Dazzler overperform unicorn ?
Do u have a reason to defend your statement ?

They did not name it unicorn sports because they don't want to spoil a good name as well as a brand ( unicorn is a brand)
When they will have something genuinely good product they will give it a genuinely good-looking name.
These bike are good for nothing ,no more, except if you are buying it for a lifetime. And still dont enjoy any moment any second with underpowered engines and tiring looks.

Can you please explain the lines in BOLD RED???

increased width dominates reduced tyre diameter in this case
I feel Honda hasconcentrated more on looks department like yamaha did for fz16 and don't bother about sacrificing the performance a bit
Also if the torque spread has been increased in the low rpm range then it might have affected mid-rpm or high-rpm or both rpm ranges negatively , which is also similar to yamaha Fz16
ok wait
let us now start discussing with test riders mman
a call to all the gr8 test riders of xbhp
please compare it with unicorn

Hmm I'll try to post a video so that it would be easy to explain, What I meant was starter button is too close to tank while turning. So chances of starter button getting presses are more. I had the same issue while taking a sharp turn in CB Unicorn, same happened on Dazzler when I kept some books on it while taking it out from the parking lot.
Starter button got pressed accidentally and ignition was ON.

I think @satellite.kid answered your earlier query better. Specs on paper need not be the same on Road na. Moreover Dazzler is shorter & lighter than Uni, 2.5cms shorter & 8KGS lighter to be exact, coupled with shorter tyres.

Coming to width, did you mean Bike width or tyre Width ??

You are just rewriting the theory already written
Lets hear it from test riders now
width of tyre or bike ?( read the first line of my previous post cool mindedly this time )
