    Thanks sunil for approving the thread,

    My budget for the bike is <= 70,000/- and my expectations comfortable mileage, less vibrations and also pillion riders should feel comfortable during long and short rides.
    I don't know where the bike ends and I begin...If heaven doesn't allow bikes..I'll ride mine straight to hell.

      Expectations:
      Comfortable mileage: Best - RTR, Moderate Unicorn, Worst FZ
      Less vibrations: Best Unicorn, Second Best FZ, Worst RTR
      Pillion riders should feel comfortable, Best Unicorn, Second Best RTR, Worst FZ

      How much are these bikes at your city showrooms?

        since he is from bangalore i don't think the above mentioned bikes will come within his budget.
        and the question remains why do i race?

          best bike for you..

          ok.. Enough has been said already about these bikes.. Seeing your budget I would just ask you head for your nearest yamaha dealer and test drive sz-r. It will fit your budget, give you enough mileage and power for your long rides. Looks good too, also good for pillion.

          Regarding the bikes you have listed :
          ride comfort, safety, looks - fazer
          mileage and maintenance costs - unicorn
          performance- apache

          some myths about fazer - low top end - depends on rpm settings - easily hits 120.. If idle rpms are low - will struggle after 105.
          Mileage- will remain 38- 42 most of the times
          Ride quality and safety - superb, fairing is wind tunnel tested and wind blast is very low at high speeds. Also the road grip is excellent and high speed turns are made easily.
          Maintenance costs - highest among the three.

            Acoording to your needs
            ride comfort and less maintenance -unicorn
            long distance touring but little extra on maintenance-Fazer
            Performance oriented but again little extra on maintenence-RTR
            I have unicorn and i love it. Did Bangalore to Delhi on it without any problem.

              I do not think that any of three are in your budget!
              The RTR 160 HE costs 75K OTR Bangalore!
              The FZ16/S costs 79-82K OTR Bangalore!
              The Unicorn also costs over 70K and has a waiting period of 8 months.
              The only bike that matches your criteria is the Unicorn(or the GS 150R).
              The RTR 160 is the worst of these bikes to ride(for me,personally) and FZ,the best.

                  Currently I own TVS Flame 125cc and planning to buy a new bike but confused of which one to go with. I use it for city rides and for short rides of around 150 to 200 kms a day.

                  Can you just let me know which one to go with.......
                  Hey ramsuresh
                  Frankly speaking you should remove Fazer form your list because it requires huge maintenance and do not have good mileage now coming to rest two bikes both are awesome, most demanded at present and resell value is also high but I would recommend for Appache as it has more power, pickup is great and look is also impressive.
                  Jai Ho

                    i totally disagree with you,it is hoot to ride,don't complain about sporty riding position,it goes with the dynamics with the bike.
                    and the question remains why do i race?

                      i think you should prefer Fazer it has dazzling looks ... macho tires and gives a decent mileage but i dont think it would fit your budget ..

                        not so decent for a underpowered 150 cc engine.

                            so What's your point?

                              so hat's your point?
                              Thank you Sayank for that conversion

                              So, updated list:

                              Fazer : 14Ps ; 13.6Nm
                              Pulsar 150 : 15.06Ps ; 12.5Nm
                              Unicorn : 13.48Ps ; 12.8Nm

                              Your point was?
                              Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                              Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                                Yes so if 1bhp is "underpowered" then Unicorn is the mother of all mopeds
