i agree but that's not reason enough to spend the extra sum, is it? And what good is all that show when you've got nothing to go(as in engine power, i've seen fz getting smoked by p135s)?

launch the FZ in cornering and it will beat even P220 forget p135.....the FZ have some amazing handling characteristics...don't believe me then see this --

Bajaj Pulsar 220 & Yamaha FZ16 - Fight Club

I ain't questioning it's cornering capabilities, just stating the fact that it doesn't perform all that well on a straight(i.e.signal to signal) which is mostly all that you'll encounter in real life conditions. I'm not trying to defame any product, just expressing my observations bout the bike. I don't think engaging in such a debate is of any use to the TS, so let's back down a bit, shall we?

lol

yeah fz looks awesome and tyre is grt and rear seat dosnt bother me being short as dont have a family to take with [wife,kids ]

but as logicaly the handle stretch thing only seems like to be getting used to [correct me if m wrong] as ppl saying here........ by bending my back forward[leaning] in a racy stance like similar to dragging........i dont know thats comfortable for long runs [not now]

ankit if you didnt read all before.....a heads up

i chose pulsar 150 ug4.5,dazzler or fz
now the two

yes i agree in straight roads Fz performance is poor....

i didnt quite get what u were trying to say but if u r hell bent on choosing ur bike from the above three options i would chose the fz cause u r a college going guy.
if the fe is an issue then dazzler all the way(provided u can make do with the looks.)
under no circumstances would my vote go to the pulsar as it is firstly a bajaj and secondly there's no tellin that bajaj won't phase out the existing 150 to bring in a new 4-valve 150cc without any prior implication for the same. thus will this not only depriciate your resale (if you plan to sell it later)but it'll also make u feel like a bum owning a brand new old bike.

well i would prefer a rtr180 any day over an FZ...trust me get a testride of one today and you will be bend upon buying it..you have to live with small niggles of body massge duh...keeping a bike for 8yrs..i would go in for a honda anyday on this 8yrs note...

FZ16 is definitely very nice looking bike with amazing cornering abilities, but the FE is a bit low. For a college-going student, primary concern should be VFM, Good FE and better resale value. When you get a job, you will definitely go for a better & powerful machine.

I will not recommend you a Discover 150 instead, it has power of 150, good FE & lots of torque in the lower-mid range that is very useful in traffic.

FZ16 is a very good option but it is costly & FE is low. Can burn a hole in the pocket.

Dazzler is a very good bike too. FE is also good. But best VFM is Discover 150 if you can live with the looks.

bro which bike should i go for then ...please suggest if you have any other in mind

and fe is a issue but can be negotiable

any problem you found in p150 as they say ug4.5 is refined

more options ....nice what i need

on a serious note
what do you mean by niggles of body message i didnt get it

and yeah 5-8 years min to max

thanks

disc 150 is nice but i want some looks

and peoples say it isnt truly a 150cc
its 135cc remodel........true?

Bro use multi-quotes instead of successive different posts. RTR180 has a sport riding position, so if you are not used to it, it will give you body-ache.

Yes its a 144.8cc engine producing 13bhp of power & 12.75Nm torque @5500rpm. Looks same as 100cc but can pull with two people of 80kgs each in any gear with ease.

I will recommend Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler.

Believe me, the only negative thing you will hear about it from people is about its looks. And even that is subjective. I seriously like this bike a lot and its looks are quite attractive, especially in the black shade. The bike is very refined, makes very little noise, has better pick up than FZ and has all the things that you can look for a bike in your segment.

Seriously, you should go for Dazzler. But thats my opinion at the end of the day. Instead, I would recommend you to do a test drive.

Why dont you consider cbz-x?maybe it has become old thats why people have forgotten it.its not like i have it thats why recommending it.
I'm getting a fe of 49 inside the city & 57on highway that too in bangladesh where tight traffic jam is always available.... roads & fuel quality is also comparatively poor than india.
About the acceleration??you'll just the love the way it goes to 100.though my bike is still new clocked 1350only.clocked 100 3-4times.
Looks are subjective i know.but trust me just look at it closely for sometime & you'll be in love with it just like me.
Many will say that suspension is too stiffer but i just made it more stiffer.....found the stock setting too soft!!! its 7way adjustable.no offence to anyone but i felt cbz xs suspension on par with other gas charged suspensions.
The only thing that i dont like is the gearbox which is not as smooth as unicorn.....cbz gearbox needs a firm shift but finding neutral is piece of cake.
About handling?i think it can read my mind while i'm riding. Many would say i'm exaggerating.....but im not.these are my true feeling & close observation.
Seating position?to me this is the best thing of cbz x.its something different i cant explain but makes me smile everytime i grab my handlebar.
Vibration?what is that?i found it in the 60-65 range.but its so negligible.after taking to 100 i came to know may be thats called vibration!!! I would not recommend hunk as i found violent vibration over 6.5k rpm no offence but thats what i felt.but dont know why it was missing in cbzx.i was surprised despite having same engine setup.
Posting from my mobile.....so i'll end here.i'll post a complete review after i complete 2000kms....
These are my opinions thnx for reading....

well the bike has small vibrations in 5-6k powerband but one can live with it easily..and one more rtr180 is a fun bike..
considering your budget(FZ) rtr180 would be a good pick...
you will get used to the sporty riding position in a week or so
