    Well, since mileage is a factor i think the P150 would be the best. Dude i own a Unicorn and the mileage is no where close to the figure mentioned by the company, its lesser much lesser especially if u redline it all day long. The Pulsar 150 latest version is pretty refined, has a rev-happy engine, and wont burn a hole in your pocket where it comes to mileage and spare parts too!
    CBZ-X is a beauty too, but P150 (UG 4.5) will beat it when it comes to pure performance.
    RIDE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!!!

        Hey Shahriar there is very marginal or no difference between unicorn, pulsar, and extreme/hunk in power, acceleration, top speed, or FE.

        Go for the bike which is sold mostly in your market so that you can get spares even down the line read 5 years from now on and even in the remotest areas.....

        Pulsar is a good sensible package(good looks and tons of add on), but you have to take care of her really well.....(I own one).

        Hunk for its looks..

        Apache RTR160 a very potent machine if you are power hungry, but it will bring wrist pain, back pain, and vibrations even at moderate speed. Spares are its biggest concern.....(one of my favorite).
        It's not the hours you put in, it's what you put in the hours!

          yeah i know there are only marginal difference......but felt that unicorn is little slow. but u know what i really like unicorn.its smooth engine even on high speed just makes me sing....an awesome smooth engine.....but on the styling part it loses.....
          In bangladesh most sold bike is pulsar then cbz xtreme then unicorn/fz then hunk......spare parts are not an issue for the bikes that i have mentioned.
          i like pulsar too but i'm truly concern about the reliability.....saw my friends pulsars screwed after 2years.......
          apache rtr is not available here........& yes i'm kind of power hungry but it has to come in a less vibrated package....
          thnx a lot for ur reply.....

            yeah i tested the newer pulsars (ug 4 & 4.5) both of them are much more refined than ug3. reliability & durability is my only issue regarding pulsar.
            about pure performance....pulsar(ug 4.5)gave me an adrenaline rush & it goes to 100 really fast. but vibration kicks in after 80.....on the other hand cbz is slower than pulsar in 0-100....but makes me happy when i feel the smoothness of the engine even at 100kmph.
            thnx bro.....

              If smoothness is a factor that can affect the decision then I would go for the new Hunk... beautiful bike. Good engine. Decent performance....and if not CBZ/Hunk, then P150 is the best thing i may get
              (RTR too is a good option but i am not sure about the vibrations from the TVS engine)

                    almost all of u suggesting to go for fz. i really appreciate ur suggestion.i'm driving my friends fz for the past 3 days. in india good quality fuels are available.
                    but let me tell u in bangladesh fuel quality is too poor thats why every bikes fuel efficiency is very low no matter how u maintain it.let me give u some examples of other bikes FE:
                    pulsar150 - max 45kmpl
                    unicorn- max 48kmpl
                    cbz -x - -max43kmpl
                    hunk-max45kmpl
                    fz- max 35kmpl(only heard 1 owner got it.....others are getting 30)

                    cant believe????well this is what people of this country gets.i have seen no1 getting 50 kmpl in any 150cc bike.well its a dream!!!!!!!!!!
                    well about fz ride quality is fantastic i have to admit.but the bike that i'm driving giving me 30kmpl(no ripping).this is what my concern.
                    i said after 70 its sluggish.....i mean the way cbz-x gets to 100 fz is not like that.
                    gs 150R is not available.we dont have any dealer of suzuki in bangladesh.

                    one more important thing......i'll always have (most of the time) my gf as my pillion rider........& i think fz has a small pillion seat......
                    Dude I'm also from Bangladesh. Choose the bike as your heart says. You've already test drive the bikes and had an idea so choose the one you think you are in love with, the one you will care most and spares are available as well as our mechs are good at. Your id also tells that you are fixing your mind with the CBZ extreme so just go for it.
                    No offense but our fuel is not that bad as you mentioned..just mark out the good pumps. FE depends on the riding style , how the carb is tuned. Most of the time we've to ride through heavy traffic and I'm getting 32-35++ avg even sometimes 60 as it's p220's habit to allocate dynamic FE and I'm running little reach. Anyways. You may also try RTR 160 which should be available in the market legally.

                    RTR160 FI /RTR 180 could be best fit but to make these 150 + bikes legal we have to pay extra tax and comes with no warranty. So it's better to stick with your love CBZ eXtreme.

                          Some of my cousin's friends get 50 kmpl avg for their Apache 150 . I thought Unicorn would give 50 or above as avg? Did you check out about Unicorn?
                          PS: I've sent pm about the pumps.

                            the CBZ is one of the best bikes available. Although i would recommend the hunk for its looks & power
