Xtreme and Hunk
Same chasis same power Same FE same handling. Count both of these as one. Whose looks do you like more?

Pulsar 150: too old, too common. some reliability issues as well. Bad Af.S.S.

Unicorn: old bike, been around for quite some time, Great FE, boring to drive, Grandpa's 150 cc.

Apache 160: addictive performance, Bad FE, good braking(rear disc optional), looks great, Not comfortable for pillion.

FZ16: bad FE, great handling, looks great, 3K more expensive than RTR

***VERDICT***
Chose between these 3 bikes
RTR
FZ (if you are OK with the looks)
Xtreme/Hunk (pick the one which looks better to you, everything else is same)

Hunk is better

go for suzuki GS150R for everything...

and RTR for pure performance....

FZ16S just for looks and nothing else...



PS: You could even try P135...... it is in the same league.

fz16 is a gr8 all rounder apart from FE and a very strong low and middle end city traffic is usually in the RVM...
RTR is good in performance...
Hunk again for looks but i donth thikn it will match the performance of fz or rtr
gs150 is a 6 speed transmission which is a plus point and gives it an edge in the top end of the revolutions over fz or rtr but it looks like it should have come around 5 years earlier....

Uni would be the best option among all.
Its has decent FE, Good handling, seating position, effective breaking. Better torque comparing other 150cc bikes.
Less Maintenance, reasonable spares, overall Good reliability and worth for Money.

Why not a Dazzy ??

Unicorn is the best option in my knowledge

My replies in bold.

One more thing.

Is my height OK for Apache ? I don't want to end up with a backache.

Go and test drive it.
You should be okay with the bike, unless you have long legs.

im 5'10" but 76kgs, i too considered all the above bikes + GS150R
Apache did not suit me..very small bike
Pulsar: wanted a more reliable bike atleast for 4-5 yrs
FZ: doesnot have a good rear seat havn't seen many FZ with pillion btw i stay in bangalore
Dazzler dint like the looks aimed at only college boys in my opinion
GS 150R had everything goin for it but not many on roads and lot of rusting complaints also the stickers r not appealing...
CBZ/Hunk both r good its a personnel choice but i went for the source of the engine...and thats CB Unicorn which had everything i wanted...

I was recently looking at those bikes since I am gonna buy my first one this month. I can surely say Apache RTR & Pulsar both have sporty stance, which can be a little bit backache for tours if you are not used to it. Since many people do tour on them, I think its just a matter of time getting used to it. Shouldn't be a problem for you.

Cheers for a new 150 in Advance.

Rahul. I do not own a Unicorn dude I own a Pulsar 220. But surely gonna "upgrade" to Unicorn as your requirements its a sturdy bike and awesome power and fuel efficiency man. The bike does not need to be take care of. The parts of this bikes are cheaper and it also is a no nonsense bike. I know many people who have used unicorn and still prefer Unicorn out of all. The engine refinement is the best. You will be paying a little more for this machine but trust me you will not regret this at any given cost. My friend owns a Unicorn since like 5-6 years and still gets a mileage of 40-45 with insane riding conditions. Trust me he has also got many modifications into it. I am so very sure of it let me tell you. You wont face a problem with this bike for at least the next 3 years. The rest bikes are also pretty good but even after the dazzler coming out People are preferring to go for CB Unicorn. Here in Mumbai At least the delivery date is 8 months thats like a very long waiting period. And i am saying this because i myself want to purchase it but the waiting period is very much. CB Unicorn is the best 150 cc bike according to me in all aspects.

The most important tip of all:-
Go the the showroom take the bike for the test ride fill petrol for rs 50 ride it well. Trust me this will help you in choosing the correct decision.machine

Lol GS 150 R had those complain in 2009 models bro.. in 2010 as of now no complaints! so.. there u go bro
