I would like to thank everyone, you people helped me lot to arrive this position.
I have done test drive with following bikes and my comments
1) Dazzler ( Honda dealer in Velachery to Guindy main road)
Pros
- I like the riding position.
- Quick response.
- No engine Noise.
- Nice/easy gear shift.
- Nice/good suspension.
- Nice front/rear breaking with disk break.
Cons
- I am not happy with looks.
- There is no feeling like i am riding 150 segment bike. i got same feeling as my discover 125.
- I have tried to change the gear to neutral. But i have done after 2 or 3 times try. I am not sure this will be a problem. this may be issue with that demo bike.
- After 30K/40k KM ride this bike may produce noise (Not from the engine) This is my view, i got when i did test drive.
- Very small digital display, i am sure we can't see any info during day time. My personal comment on this is like it is looking like a small digital wrist watch. Honda should think to increase digital display area or drop this digital display.
- No discounts
. (i hope they will give some free accessories and insurance after a big bargain)
FZS new edition (Raj Yamaha OMR is the dealer)
---------------
Pros
- Good performance/response
- Nice gear/shift
- Nice/Good suspension.
- Great look (i got new bike, yellow one)
- Nice front/rear breaking.
- Great display unit. nice one to see. I drove a new bike, so they have disconnected the display.
Cons
- Low Mileage 42-45 city ride (as per sales person comment)
- Riding position. Not like Dazzler. I hope this will not suitable for long drive.
- Kick start. Yamaha introduced this in new edition. but we need to fold foot rest, if we need to do kick start.
- Rear seat position. it's bit high. but it's some what ok to manage.
- Saree Guard may be not that much effective.
- I am not happy with color options FZS 4 colors and FZ16 only with 2 colors red and black.
- No discounts
.
- Price Nearly 78K
Hero Honda.
CBZ/Hunk i have tried to test drive this, they said they don't have demo bike. i got this reply from 2 dealers. so i don't want to make a deal with this kind of dealers, since I am doubt about their ASS (After Sales and service).
Bajaj 150
Still I am not saying this is bad one. Its VFM option. since i already own a Discover 125 from bajaj family. I noticed some issues after 40K run, also i just wanted to try other options/make.
Suzuki 150R
Every one says it's good one. But i don't have service station near by. So i didn't even test drive this.
My Pick/Option/Selection
I have concluded with FZ16 red color. I am ready to compromise mileage because my heart says it's OK to have this one, so 99% i will go with my heart is that wrong
? remaining 1% is for Dazzler.
If anyone list some points/things to be noticed during buy, will help me to prepare a check list and make everything going good, and what kind of offers/discounts shall i check/ask with my dealers
. Probably i will book by this week.
Regards,
TestDrive
