Hi, i want to purchase a new bike. My daily commute is around 50 kms., and i ride a little hard. But my primary concern about the bike is its average and servicing. i have short listed the Yamaha yzf r15 v2.0,the Honda Unicorn dazzler,TVS apache rtr 160 fi. i'm confused now which bike should i go for. Also heard about the new pulsar should i wait for it or buy something from above short listed.

Hi,
Dazzler -> +ve Smooth engine, fuel economy -ve not much of a performer, may not be for you, as you say you are a hardy rider
RTR -> +ve Performance and handling, fuel economy (I get 50+ from my 2008 carb
) -ve not a very smooth engine, good amount of vibes reaching your hands (I like them though)
R15 -> +ve Awesome perfomer, handling, looks -ve Price, could be a pain for long rides
Decision is yours

Looks like you need a sport bike for daily commuting, Well all the three bikes R15, RTR 160 and Dazzler fall in different categories. If Mileage and service is concerned, Among these only one has to smoothest engine of all and no prize for guessing that you can prioritize Unicorn > RTR 160> R15, On the other hand if you ride hard and look for top speed all the time, then reverse the order...R15 > RTR 160 > Unicorn.Originally posted by hawx View PostCurrent

ok now i know that for sporty riding i'll go for the r15 but can some one tell me what average would it return on riding it decently,also i've heard that bajaj is launching the revamped pulsar this december so should i wait for it or go in for the r15. Also pls giv me the average the r15 returns,bcos dont wanna get hammered by dad for buying a bike which is not fuel conscious. Also thanks for the help and guidance about the previous post much appreciated.
