Since you plan on using the bike on weekends, i am assuming you want to have fun too and not just use the bike for commuting; i'd suggest on of the following:

1. Dazzler:
PROS: Very good fuel economy, Super-smooth engine and easy on maintenance.
Cons: Won't give you the feel of a Sports-inspired bike.

2. P135:
Pros: Good mileage and performance. It's a light bike and so easy to handle.
Cons: Styling IMO is not so good. (that's only thing i could think of :P )

3. RTR 180:
Pros: Absolute screamer! Exhaust note is just super! Engine is good, and it handles like a dream
Cons: Some people have been complaining about vibrations in higher rev-range (but i wouldn't bother much about vibes on a weekend bike). Fuel economy is slightly on the lower side but all the fun you have on the bike makes up for it/

4. Discover 150:
Haven't ridden the bike for myself yet and so won't be able to list out pros and cons but i recon it is a good bike and has a decent enough fuel efficiency

5. Honda Stunner 125:
Pros: You get a very refined engine (Honda... goes without saying), you get a fuel injection, you get a half fairing, Very good fuel efficiency (Thanks to Fuel Injection)
Cons: Headlight isn't too good, one might feel a lack of punch.... but since it is your first bike You won't.

LASTLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: TEST-DRIVE
Don't take a bike merely by reading our advise on the forum. Test drive and feel the response of every bike you like and then decide for yourself.

BEST OF LUCK!

Nicely put. But, I'd add one more bike to the wishlist.
Name - Suzuki GS150
Pros - A super strong engine, a very good performer, contains 6 speed gearbox, absolute bliss on highways due to the 6th overdrive gear.
Cons - Suzuki A.S.S services are reportedly not satisfactory/ very less no. of A.S.S are present.

take the stunner if you want the pick up but if you can bear with the high vibrations..the best pick would definitely be the SUZUKI GS 150R..take a test ride of it and let me know about it..it has got one of the most refined 150cc engines in the market! mileage above 50 in city commute..a head turner..unique...u get that exclusivity which you dont get when you get a pulsar

this is my choice..i own a GS 150R(this is my second GS)..Am not telling it because i own it..BUT its for your good..

If that will suit my height and will provide a decent mileage somewhere near 50, I can afford some more money and buy it.

CBR150R- you have to add 50k more to buy it. if possible, go for R15 instead, always better one.
Pulsar 200 NS- again you have to add 20k more (expected price 95k). its a best in class, all rounder.

if these are not possible go for dazzlr for a smoother engine.........

Yes, I know its hard to digest, but its a fact. My ZMA's ass has once been kicked by a Stunner.
Stunner => Solo Rider.
ZMA=> Riding with pillion. (110+70 Kg's)
The speedo indicated speed when he overtook me was 115Kmph. And believe me when I say this, but my speedo is extremely accurate, considering the previous ZMA versions.

So true.

Dude I currently ride a Stunner currently and it cries like anything above 75. And have also read reviews of all the stunners. Stunner has top-speed of just 100kmph. I guess his speedo was bad or ur ZMA is just too slow to be overtaken by a Stunner

I didnt look at his speedo, I was talking about mine, and I've kicked many P220's ass on highways(Just yesterday a guy on a P220S riding solo started giving me trouble, and I overtook him with ease @ 115Kmph.), so I believe its not my bikes problem.

yess brother and am proud of owning it bro..! its one heck of a bike!! zero vibrations even above 110km/hr...RIDE IT TO BELIEVE IT !

**Karthik Mathur (Orange)** · 03-18-2012, 12:55 PM

Go for the P135 dude! Well priced, good mileage, reasonable performance and good handling.

Unicorn is a good bike but P135 will sure be more interesting than it.

Why cross the limit of exaggeration? Everyone knows it. Theres no need to exhaggerate. I too own one. Acceleration is ok but nothing substansial.
I agree about zero vibes above 110kmph becz it never crosses 100 so technically that statement remains true. vibes creep in above 65 and the engine feels stressed. Iv discussed with @Honda_CBF and other stunner users also.

PS- Im riding stunner now.

Looks like you ran into a very sedate P220er. Or else I can claim that the other day I overtook a Gallardo on Worli Seaface on the P220

Yup and that too with a pillion. But it'd be a different story of I race against any Xbhpian, the reason being every P220 owner other than Xbhpians abuse the bike, so bad that... Here's what a friend said about his month old P220 which was fitted with an oversized FFF.

"Its a super fast bike, I have done upto 110Kmph, my brother is a racer and he's it upto 120Kmph"

And the funny thing was when I throttled it after cranking it on, the bike died, due to being overly lean. And the bike was already warmed up when I took it for the test drive.

He's talking about the GS.
And vibrations vary based on peoples tolerance, I've got a RTR180 ABS college mate who wont take his bike past 60Kmph cause he says it vibes like hell, where as I've seen the ABS testing video in which the guys take it upto 129Kmph.
