Ok. First Things First.

I know there is another thread with the same context but I want fellow riders to suggest one for ME as everyone's needs are different

So its between the FZ and Dazzler.

I am 23 , 5"8 and 65kilos with a slim-to-average kind of build

Things I want In my bike :

1. Budget of 75K (already stretched from 65K, so cant stretch anymore)
2. The Bike should have easy Handling ; preferably lightweight so i have more confidence in corners.
3. The Bike should return a mileage of atleast 40KMPL
4. The Ride should feel engaging and enjoyable
5. Should be low on maintenance...this is very imp..it should not turn into a pain in the a** after a year.
6. Reliable in Long term... this will probably be my last bike [next will be a car ]
7. Service and Parts should be easily available
8. Mostly to be used in City riding...very very rare on highways..In either case speeds in excess of 80Kmph are strict no-no.

I took a test ride of both and both felt very good

So My Concerns for Dazzler :

1. It is a comparatively new product (so reliability cannot be fully ascertained , although I know Honda bikes are known for reliability but still it IS a new product)
2. Looks are nothing to talk about. No sense of uniqueness
3. I hate the commuter-ish Handle Bar [also wires running all around] and Seating position.
4. Bike is good but there is no sense of adventure when riding
4. There is a long waiting period here in Hyderabad [2-3 months]

Positives for Dazzler :
1. It is a Honda
2. Console is Better.
3. I feel it is Lighter than FZ ; slightly more flickable due to its size.
4. Service Network is definitely better ; parts availability
5. Good resale value (just in case )

Concerns for FZ :
1. Rims breaking / Bending

I understand this is a common problem in FZ but in most cases i have heard/read that the rider was well above 60 and over very bad potholes that this occurs.
Somebody please clarify this : I am gonna ride in City with mostly 60-65 kmph speed (max). Is this really a threat (Hyd xBhpians can understand better and comment)

2. Mileage

Again ; with my relaxed riding style (mostly under 5K rpm) , can I expect a mileage of 40?

3. Service Network

How is the service network (esp in Hyd , if someone knows )

Positives for FZ :

everything [gr8 engaging ride , gr8 handling , looks well what to say , gr8 handlebars , neat fit n finish of every part , as a package it rocks really ]


Please help me out.
