    Once again, a BIG THANK YOU to all my fellow xbhp-ians!
    That's absolute crap.. it's a very stable bike even at 100+ speeds.. myself i'm 5'10''.. it's very comfortable bike to ride with pretty good knee recess.
    Best way to judge is to take a test ride yourself.. and see how it behaves.

          I believe in company standard (service quality, performance and customer handling)
          One who used hero honda should either go for the same or better one.

          If you want better one go for suzuki or honda
          Yamaha sz seems to be better than disco 150.

          Seems pulsar135ls is a good choice as its an exceptional bajaj product.

            unfortunately 'Hero Honda' is now minus the 'Honda'

              P135 for better mileage
              P150 for better performance.
              Other than this, go for either a Dazzler or GS150. But please ensure that you've got a service center close by. Cos, Suzuki still hasn't got too many around.

                well the p135LS has both mileage and performance...infact better than the p150...

                  P135 better than p150??

                    not until a UG comes for the 150..this time barring the cosmetic changes...and thinking of the engine performance...

                    so till then mileage and handling are just the highlights...

                    comparison of the specifications can show you everything clearly...max. net power,the dimensions...

                    now consider the fact of looks being the same for a 150,180,200 and now even the 220 ! the looks of the p135LS are unparalleled...plus a fresh new face !

                    for the acceleration and top end compare the specifications again...

                    claimed top end for the p135LS being 115kmph and for the p150...113kmph..
                    even when the max. net power of the p135LS is 13.5ps and for the p150 is 14.1ps....

                    now for the acceleration 0-60 p150 does it in 5.6secs whereas the p135LS in 5secs flat ! (not to mention the other 15o's like the unicorn,cbz extreme,hunk doing it even slower)

                    so the p135LS literally making most of the 150s bite dust !

                      P135 makes 13.5 @ 9000 rpm and P150 makes 15.06 Ps @ 9000 rpm with the P150 21 kgs heavier. Regarding the top speeds, I am not sure. Having ridden both P135 and a P150, I feel much more reassured about the stability of the P150 (my personal opinion only).
                      P135 being better than its bigger sibling is a contentious issue, which I leave the experts to decide.

                          Actually thats correct. The P150 UG4.5 does in fact make 15.06 Ps.
                          Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                          Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                            oh yeah...so the p150 has been silently given a makeover...as expected...a power output of 1ps...that is 14.09PS to 15.06PS...

                            also a bigger carb...and i guess a different exhaust...

                            but it definitely has the new clip-ons borrowed from the p135LS

                            but that is for the ug4.5...so do we expect a 4valve engine for the ug5 ??

                              that's really great......Bajaj is doing competition with TVS in engine specs--

                              P150 = 15 ps
                              Apache160= 15 ps

                              P180 = 17 ps
                              Apache180= 17 ps

                                I dont think the clip-ons on P150 have been borrowed from the P135 since they are much wider & bigger than that of the P135.
