Bajaj Boxer 150 or Discover 150??
Hi friends, I am just a rookie in the world of Motorcycles. I would like to own a bike which has reasonable power and mileage. Some of my friends told me that Bajaj Boxer 150 is very good and some other told me that Discover 150 is good. I am not giving too much importance to the bike styling though. I am mainly looking out for "The value for money" aspect. But I have not seen Boxer 150 that much in Kerala. So can u tell me which one is the appropriate bike for me??

If VFM is what you are looking for, in the strict sense, then Boxer is the bike for you. However, do mention your requirements, wrt. mileage, usage, etc. so that people might come up with better suggestions.Some of the Happiest people in the world don't have everything.

I 'd say both are tremendous VFM. Take a TD of both and whichever you feel comfortable on, get that and you cant go wrong. Both are super awesome bikes. Discover is slightly more powerful. But Boxer makes up for its really long seat (easy for 3 people). The difference in power will not be felt much mostly. Take a TD and decide. Its only a matter of how you feel sitting on them.2004 Bajaj Discover 125 DTSi - 26000 KM - Sold

My father has a Boxer AT 2001 model. We are planning to buy a new bike in exchange of the old one
I have only driven 2 bikes, they are Boxer AT and Bajaj KB 125. .
I want a bike for my daily use, that is from home to office 'to and fro'. Sometimes my father also will ride it.
In short I want a "VFM" bike
I give importance to mileage. The range of mileage I expect is 55-70.
I also need appropriate power so that I can ride it comfortably in city roads and for riding long distances.(Don't know the horse power value and all, sorry)
I am not interested in sporty styling mainly because I want to ride comfortably. I don't want to lean too much towards the front like the bike racers do.
Leaning too much causes back pain to me while riding long distances.
When I asked my friends, some told me about Discover and some others told me about the new Boxer 150.. I am in a dilemma
Can anyone suggest an appropriate bike? U can also suggest other bikes.. other than the above 2.

In your case, go the D150 eyes closed. You might expect mileage of around 60kmpl.Some of the Happiest people in the world don't have everything. They just make the best of everything life brings their way !!! Stay happy, Smile always :)Comment

Go for Disco 150, since your father will also be riding the bike, he will feel comfortable with Disco 150. It's well equipped and returns good mileage.Let's bring down the monster of corruption to it's knees.. please visit http://ipaidabribe.com/Comment

i ride a disco 100 gives excellent mileage 65-70 city and 75-80 on highways provided you ride constantly at 60kmph . I think for a beginner it will do ; no idea on the difference between D150 and D 100Comment

Frannkly speaking I just do not even like the looks of the Pulsar 135.. Hee hee, It just looks to me as if I am seeing a fox dressed up as it were a lion.. My view here though, some people may have a diff opinion.
Dicover is the better Bike, you get the VFM, descent looks and a good mileage too.Comment

with advanced four valve tech p135 is better product anyday.it has better power than d150.mileage i guess both will be in same range,or may be d150 has better fuel efficiency by margin of 5-10 kmpl.both pulsar and discover will cruise on highway comfortably[although those are not really meant for highways].handling of p135 is better than discover.with p135 you will get fresh looks,digital speedo,better tire,clip ons for better handling,comfortable seat,knee recess,smooth transmission,more power.looks are subjective.but p135 looks way better than d150[otherwise new pulsar series would not have got design cues from p135].as far as vfm proposition goes i guess every bajaj is vfmand the question remains why do i race?

Just want to talk about FE... you cannot expect more that 55KMPL in 150 CC bike. may be both can reach max of 60KMPL...
Both bike are definitely VFM bikes.

i always felt it is better to choose 150 cc as first ride than buy 125 cc first and upgrade later.some of the reasons being tubeless tire[twister offers it],broad rear tire,good suspension,moderate weight,moderate powerand the question remains why do i race?
