Hi friends,
I am planning to buy a new bike. I have listed down my requirements. I have also narrowed down my choice to 3 bikes as given in the title. I am confused between them. Please help me choose one.
My requirement:
[1] Good pickup => 125-150 cc
[2] Commuter => Daily I need to travel 20 kms (To+From)
[3] Decent Mileage => Not lesser than 50kmpl
[4] Good Comfort => Better seats and suspension
[5] Stylish => I am just 22yr old
[6] Light in weight => Easy to handle in traffic
[7] Price => Approximately Rs.60,000
Based on the research I done by reading reviews, I am summarizing the pros and cons of the three bikes
[1] Bajaj Pulsar135LS [Price: Rs.60,600 on-road Chennai]
Pros:
a) Good Pickup 13.5bhp
b) Good Mileage 55+ kmpl (any condition)
c) Very Stylish (LCD console, LED Tail lamps, Grab rails, etc)
d) Light in weight (Only 122 kg, So easy handling)
e) Disk breaks
Cons:
a) Many complain about poor comfort because of Hard seats and poor suspension
b) Many people said that the seating poster of pulsar (sporty) will give back pain and wont suitable for commuters.
c) The rear view of the bike gives a feeling that some thing is missing and is not up to everybody's liking.
d) Bajaj lacks quality and reliability compared to Yamaha
[2] Yamaha SZ-X150 [Price Rs.60,000 approx on-road Chennai]
Pros:
a) Good Pickup (though lesser than p135)
b) Yamaha claims a mileage of 62+ kmpl but hope to get 55+ kmpl onroad.
c) Muscular and Aggressive design - Solid body
d) Good comfort assured by Yamaha.
e) Light in weight though heavier than p135 (132kg)
f)Yamaha quality and reliability
Cons:
a) Absence of disk breaks
b) Absence of goodies like LCD console, LED Tail lamp, Split grab rails, etc,
c) Poor After sales service and poor resale value of Yamaha
d) Mileage not sure of 55+kmpl
[3] Yamaha SS125 [Price Rs.57,550 on-road Chennai]
Pros:
a) Good pickup
b) Sporty design
c) Good comfort
d) Light in weight (125 kg)
e) Yamaha quality and reliability
f) Disk breaks
Cons:
a) Mileage only 50+ kmpl ( lesser compared to other two)
b) Absence of goodies like LCD console, LED Tail lamp, Split grab rails, etc,
c) Narrow rear Tyre (Slippery during rainy season)
d) Poor After sales service and poor resale value of Yamaha
