* Decent Top Speed
* Front Disk Brakes
* A good one for city ride
* Somewhat Stylish

So kindly help me to choose a bike wisely and i started this thread because i saw many were really satisfied with their completion of queries which they posted here and got the bike as they needed.

Thank you so much guys.

If mileage is the priority than you can go for unicorn or Suzuki GS150R as the extreme and hunk returns mileage of around 40-45

The bikes that i have in my mind are,

* Honda Unicorn
smooth engine.. reliable.. old horse.. less style.. ok pickup..

* Suzuki GS150R
smooth.. god looks.. good topspeed.. 6th gear for cruising at highway.. mileage.. seems perfect for your req. take a test ride..

* Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme
dated.. good pickup.. not sure about mileage thing..

* Bajaj Pulsar 150cc
jack of all.. and the highest selling thing

.. Indian and indianised, cheap spares, road side mechanic can fix it, cheap upgrades available.. but would be common if you are looking for styling..

* Hero Honda Hunk
don't know..

* Yamaha Gladiator
don't know..

if styling and city rides are only thing.. can include P135 and Stunner there..

These are the things i am looking for,

* A good pickup
* Mileage around 50-55kmpl
* Decent Top Speed
* Front Disk Brakes

Hey all thanks for your comments in this. Looking for some more opinions.

**Binoy** · 03-30-2010, 07:25 PM

Surely Unicorn buddy...

**ken cool** · 03-30-2010, 07:35 PM

The Yamaha Gladiator has excellent build quality. Ask an expert like c_sbk. He will show you point by point from the way the alloys are designed to the way the cables are put together. It has better acceleration than the rest that you have enumerated. And it surely has VERY good handling. But I guess I am the only one saying this here. But, I do say, it is an excellent motorcycle.

**jeyessh** · 03-30-2010, 07:38 PM

go for xtreme or hunk both gives 55 kmpl...

**ken cool** · 03-30-2010, 07:49 PM

Oh yes, the Gladiator gives 55kmpl too.

**bhargava_sr** · 03-30-2010, 07:55 PM

Unicorn would be the best to suit most of your requirements
Uni is a good tourer, commuter, FE-45-50kmpl, front disks, fair looks, very good breaking and handling, good seating position, very smooth and less maintainance ..

**StyleZ** · 03-31-2010, 08:24 AM

Hmm i get more positive answers about Unicorn And Gladiator. But my pals suggested me to go for Suzuki GS150R. Do you guys think it is a wise idea.

**ashwin92** · 03-31-2010, 08:35 AM

Gs 150r

Of course GS150R is the best one that suits your requirements...
U can just catch the attention of each and everyone on the road with this bike ....
Great top speed , good mileage , 6 speed gear , hydraulic disc brakes , digital speedometer ,... etc... what else do you need other than these?? So i certainly suggest you to go for GS150R..

**antz.bin** · 03-31-2010, 04:10 PM

Read Bike India April '10. The GS150R gave an overall FE of 59.75 as Bunny Punia (nearly 100kg) rode it through the Himalayas (High altitudes = Rich Mixtures). Thats a hell of a mileage to have for any 150cc. I doubt if even a Discover 100 or Splendor will manage anything more in such terrains. I would buy it eyes closed had i not got a P220.

**inder.cool** · 03-31-2010, 04:17 PM

^ Antz, the bike cant be judged by just its FFE. Both P220 and GS 150 are totally different bike.

* Honda Unicorn

An amazing bike..! Infact..Unicorn is my personal favorite from your list(even though it might outdated).

* Suzuki GS150R

I've heard a lot about it..and it sounds good..! Even looks good too..!

* Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme

I dont like it..I love the classic version though..!

* Bajaj Pulsar 150cc

Good bike..but very common..!

* Hero Honda Hunk

I like the looks..but cant comment on its performance..!!

* Yamaha Gladiator

Well..one of the senior members already gave his expert views on this bike..!
