It is not that the bike is not capable to do speeds greater than 100, but the company recommends 95kmph because after that any thing about 95, the bike will under too much of strain.

hi guys i'm 5.8. i'm confused between these two. i do bit of touring. so please suggest me better one and i also expect a good mileage. i'll probably keep it for a long time.

A 150cc would be good buy, think of Unicorn/GSR ? Both are superb bikes

The motorcycling experience will be a notch better (power/Cruise speed/top whack/mileage too is good etc etc)

after which the bike takes so long that you simply give up pushing it!!

since touring is the priority, stunner with eyes closed... more because of the visor and the gearing... the gearing is good for touring plus the butter smooth and silent engine is great... stunner...

Most of the people suggested P135 as it has a better performance compared to stunner..And many complained that stunner vibrates when you push it above 60...i`m totally confused

If your budget is around 70 k then you can go for 150 cc bikes like Gsr , cb unicorn , p150 and apache RTR ..

But above bikes have no advantage over 135LS, why waste money? OP's height is 5.8", and he will look best on Pulsar 135LS, has superb fuel economy, similar torque if not better, looks sharper than above bikes. Atleast give reasons why he should spend 10k+ more on above bikes. You should test drive Pulsar 135LS, its baby beast, due to 4Valve tech bike behaves like 150cc bikes. Don't ridicule just because its value for money.

Advantage of CB Unicorn over P135
Better Power
Better comfort
Better Handling
Better durability
Better engine smoothness
Better touring capability
Absolutely no vibes
The thread starter can spend 1k each for above items and rest 1k for peace of mind

. I guess thats the price difference between Unicorn and P135.
No I don't own a Unicorn and I have no offense on P135 , but there are sufficient reasons for one to go for Unicorn and not P135

+1 to that ! Both unicorn and gsr are known as relaxed, vibe free tourers in 150 cc category . Also they wont get distracted by wind forces thanks to the 45+kg weight . No doubt pulsar 135 is a wonderful bike but for his budget he can go for better touring machines with relaxed engine .
@ thread started , consider unicorn as your option instead of stunner. Tuned for low end so city riding wont be much of a problem , good for highway cruising too , proven honda engine and quality.

if i were you i would have bought stunner carb edition. As believe me, pulsar 135 has quite a lot of problems. Any bajaj has quite a lot of issues. And stunner vibrates after 60 but it becomes vibrate free after 70 i heard. Stunner is good. Else why would i suggest honda when i myself is using bajaj? and don't don't take the fuel injected stunner as it weighs more hence reduced performance.

P135LS also makes same power and has 4-valve engine which is high revving and fun.. Unicorn still has that same sedate boring by uncles,for uncles engine

Better comfort

Who said P135LS is not comfortable?? he is just 5 8"

Better Handling

Are you kidding me? take them out for a spin in traffic and tell me which one of them would you love to ride, P135LS is way ahead of Unicorn here with it's light weight and sharp handling.

Better durability

P135LS is here for two years and there is no reason why it can't be termed as durable. There are people who has already covered 30k on this bike without any hassles.

Better engine smoothness

I don't understand this point.. In what way does it benefit you and P135LS engine isn't harsh by any measure.

Better touring capability

TS said just a bit of touring & P135LS is good enough for it.

Absolutely no vibes

Completely agreed.

What about mileage?? with petrol prices touching 80 rupees, he would have to spend extra 1k each month if he goes with Unicorn.

No I don't own a Unicorn and I have no offense on P135 , but there are sufficient reasons for one to go for Unicorn and not P135

P135LS is a very compelling buy even if you compare with 150cc competition, I wouldn't hesitate to edge out the so-called 150cc bikes in favor of P135LS.. after all it has the same pick-up, better top end performance, better mileage and is a delight to ride in traffic due to it's light weight. Anyone, who has ridden a Unicorn/P150 in traffic will tell you how stress-free it feels to ride bikes like P135LS in traffic.

Take test ride

I owned stunner for two years and it always behaved like a standard commuter bike with just extra bits of fairing. I still feel the Stunner is over priced for what it offers. Vibes at high speeds would definitely not allow you to cruise @ 70-80 kph. For the kind of money you pay, you just get a better looking 125 cc bike, nothing more. I have also discussed the quality of stunner' s switches needing generous sprays of WD40 frequently every monsoon. Even the self start switch got jammed with every start.(seen the same problem on my friends unicorn). My bike fell twice wile stationary in my parking and both times had to replace handle bar. Moreover the stunners gearing is too short to make it a good ride in city imo.

Pulsar 135 on the other hand gives a better quality of fitting plastics and switches which still work even after almost a year. excellent vfm. Dc setup, gas shock absorbers, cheap and easily available spares.

Just ride both for a day or a few hours and see how you feel.

Bro...I donno what to say

I have ride P135 in busy traffic for a month and touched 110+ in highways as well.Honestly I did not like the P135's cramped sitting posture,no offence..but thats me.Choices differ.I gave my personal opinion and was not kidding atall.A durable bike with a smooth and hasslefree engine gives better riding experience on long run.The P135 I was riding was giving a FFE of 52 and a well maintained Unicorn will give similar figures.

over n out !!!
