        @ Raja - Thanks!

        Guys, the Hero Honda dudes are trying to sell off the Hunk (atleast I think so)
        I've seen their store and they have a good stock of both the Hunk and the CBZ X, but when I asked him, he said that the waiting period is very long for the CBZ X and I can take the Hunk anytime.

        Is this because there is a new version of the Hunk coming up and so they want to clear the old stock? Does this happen everywhere?

              Yes but if you consider the weight gain(122kg-143kg), it neutralizes the torque if you ride alone. It is definitely advantageous with a pillion and the extra weight gives more stability in highway.

              If you prefer the torque, it is awesome in discover 150, it has more torque(12.75Nm) than P150(12.5Nm) and since it is lightweight(121kgs), it will give you a big smile. More like a P220 feeling. It has awesome pulling power.

                @abhish3k - I knew it happens everywhere, but in the motorcycle market! That too by the showroom guys, shocking!
                As for choices b/w 135 and 150, I've made up my mind to stick with the 150, which costs me only 1k more!

                  UPDATE
                  And a nice one at that!

                  The Suzuki GS150R is available at 54k in the CSD! The same price as that of the Unicorn!!!
                  I like the looks. Do you guys think it a potent enough tourer?

                    It is a very promising tourer. Just change the stock headlight, it is too weak in the highways at night.

                    A little update, I am back from a tour of 223kms yesterday, with a lot of rough rodes, a shower & wet rodes, and I am glad I chose P135LS. I took just 2 breaks for smoke & tea for 10mins each & quite comfortable now. No backaches or other problems. Was stuck in traffic 2 times, and it is very good in traffic zig-zag. I have yet to test it in hilly areas.

                      I'd really like it if someone could give me a comparison b/w the GS150R and the Unicorn.

                      They are both pretty good. What I don't like about the GS150R is the protruding rear panel. It is going to be a pain to carry saddle bags on that thing.

                        @ Above

                        Coming to comparison between GS150 and Unicorn, both are equally good. No doubts. GS has the added 6th gear for low rpm cruising at slightly high speeds than Unicorn. Even the looks department of GS is good with all new gadgets. But for GS you might feel the scarcity of service centers.

                        But if I was you I would blindly go for the DAZZLER.
                        Dazzler is a better UNICORN. It has everything that was missing in UNICORN.
                        Trusting the Unicorn engine with a better power and same riding ergonomics will give comfortable ride through out the trip. I have done couple of 500+ kms ride in a day and 700+ kms once when I had my Unicorn and every minute of ride was a joy.

                          @ Shreeni - In the Bike India magazine, Bunny Punia, one of the best motorcycle journalists in the country pointed out that the Dazzler is uncomfortable on long stints. Also, there are vibes from the knee recess of the tank beyond 5000 rpm!
                          I would have loved it otherwise!!!
