        You can go for Unicorn.. it's a decent bike. You can take a look at Discover 150/SZ-150.. they fit your requirements perfectly.

          I am really confused about mixed reviews of Dazzler. Dazzler is the only one which has quick delivery. Unicorn has 3 months waiting.

          How much mileage I can expect for Yamaha SZ/SZX?

            The max speed it can go is only 60, that too hardly.
            very very unusual.....please check your bike at the service centre

            err, I don't know how you can claim that so surely because I personally have done 100 on a Honda shine on the ring road here in Bangalore.

            Unicorn is a good bike, I've ridden it. But I feel it's overpriced. Why don't you look at discover dtsi? pulsar 150? cbz extreme? suzuki GS150R?

              I have been doing the research my self as well

              1. Honda Uni Dazler:--This do not have the Kicker, will be a problem. Also Looks.. I don't like it much
              2. GS 150R: No tubeless tires and the seating was not comfortable for me.
              3. Hunk:The Hyderabad do not have the latest model yet and also most of my frnds said no to it


              Any other options for me? Or can we expect any new arrivals in 2011?

                Hi,

                I have done a test drive on Hunk and one of my biggest complaints against that bike is, post 4,500 rpm the engine goes to the harsher side i mean really really harsh!!

                As far as the Honda Uni Dazzler with electric starter only option is concerned.. i don't think there should be any problem with that. trust me, even i was kinda worried about the electric starter only option when i picked up my FZ but so far no problems whatsoever...

                as long as you do basic maintainence of your bike, i don't think any of the Honda machines would ever give you any kind of trouble. I would have loved to recommend you FZ based on its looks, low end torque and on its cornering capabilities thanks to its fat rear tyre. However, mileage is definitely a downer. I can't go past 40kmpl... however, i prefer being on the performance side

                if you are ok with doing a compro on the Looks then don't think twice and go for a honda. Its engine is really refined and will give you decent mileage for sure.

                Good luck

                  I just had a test drive with Dazzler, Its was really bad. Pickup is really bad than my Shine. Infact the showroom guy was suggesting me to go for the Twister than the Dazzler for pickup.

                  I am really disappointed with the showroom guy, as he do not have fuel in test drive wehicle, he let me drive only for 100ft.in the mean while the engine stopped at least 4 times, due to low fuel.

                  Are there any upcomming 150cc models? I can wait till 2011. Also How good is mahindra cevelo? is it released yet?

                    What do you mean Dazzler's pick up is really bad?? it is supposed to be a bit quicker than Unicorn.. due to lower weight & marginally higher power output. Are you suggesting that Shine is faster than Unicorn? Try another ride.. the bike you got for test ride would have got some problems..

                      now this is shocking... any day Dazzler is faster then shine........showroom guy hasn't got his salary that's why he was insisting you to go for twister...

                      however new models will keep coming...but there are already too much 150cc bikes in the market man....

                        How you know that are you the shop owner

                        May be shop owner told him to promote the twister sales to get salary

                          Hey dude,

                          either the salesman is really frustrated with life or he is simply trying to push the sales of twister.. Dazzler is a brilliant bike in terms of performance. the very fact that the bike stalled for 2 - 3times proves the fact that he is all up for a con job. If you do have any other honda showroom try the dazzler there.

                            As we both are staying in same location, I offered you my Dazzler for test ride. I am quite surprised that you went to showroom for a test ride.

                              Ravi, I went for a test ride, as I was coming home on the way, not specifically for this

                                BTW, did you take test ride at the Honda Showroom in Kondapur? I had taken back-to-back test rides of Stunner FI and non-FI there. I had to walk back to the showroom with the bike twice due to dried up fuel.

                                The most funny thing is, when I was taking the second bike for test ride, I asked him if at least this had fuel for test ride. He said he checked and the bike will not stall again on the road, and then it dried up just after 100 meters from showroom.
