Why didn't you try out CB unicorn (Not dazzler) ?
Anyways reading about your dilemma and requirements.. I suggest you buy Honda Stunner CBF125.
Reasoning:
Light weight.. so easily maneuverable in traffic.
Decent mileage (FE)
Decent power (Does in fact reach 100kmph)
Stunning looks (IMO)
Honda Reliability.
If you need something faster than Stunner, go for P135.
Light weight once again
Decent FE again
Good power (Does a decent 120 on the speedo)
Fresher looks than the other Pulsars (They even changed the (ugly) old tyre hugger)
Haven't read of any problems on the ownership thread.
My suggestions are from a segment below 150cc because you already own a fast bike.. why would you need another one and compromise one one thing which made you look elsewhere i.e. fuel efficiency.
P.S.: I pointed it out as you did it twice.
No offends

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.

Well my biggest reason for another bike is truthfully the condition of our roads. It breaks my heart to make my bike go through all of that..everyday.
I needed good ride quality, reliability, performance and fuel economy.
Going for a 125+ segment TD tomorrow.
One more query does the stunner have 4 speeds, a friend rides one and had mentioned.
Have to check out the gs 150 r also, heard its good.Last edited by BikerForLife; 10-29-2010, 07:04 PM.Comment

On a serious note, I am going in for the stunner or the p 135. Liked both, and they do cover my needs well.
The p 135, I feel has the better 'smile per mile' numbers, just that little bit more power and thrill.
The stunner on the other hand is beautifully smooth. The finish is also a grade better than the p 135. Its a Honda. Loving the looks. Decent ride.
Handles better. The perfect commuter I say.
Could someone please help me with some details on the stunner -
1. fuel economy
2. Is there a way I could make the bike go over bumps a little better (smoother) with gas filled shocks or something??

You can fit a gas filled shocks. But the stock shocks of stunner are good & it would be a waste of money to get a new one.NOT BEEN THERE NOT DONE THATComment

@madhav krishna- Thank you for the link. I ruled out the ss 125 for the way it looks just did not like it for some reason.
The stunner I rode was a little harsh over bumps, so was just asking if I could.Comment

I thought of suggesting you the SS125 because in the lot it has got the best mileage & according to me only an SS can replace a R15 (trust me i have ridden both & therefore i know). There are a lot of similarities in the SS & R15. May it be the handling, top-end or even cornering. It even leads in most of the shootouts.Originally posted by BikerForLife View Post
Anyways if you dint liked it, i would respect your opinion.
The gas charged shocks can be obtained by paying Rs.2000 at any local dealer.NOT BEEN THERE NOT DONE THATComment
