          I dont think you got what he meant.

          He meant that Big Bikes doesnt have Kick Start..

          Dazzler is not as popular as CBRs..but I don't care. more and more people will buy CBR 150 until they'll get use to it like a normal Pulsars

            you got it all wrong.nevermind.
            btw going by your word a r15 or cbr 150 r is still a high end bike considering indian biking scenario.
            and high end bikes are high end just because of their powerfull battery...is it?

            and the question remains why do i race?

              Bike Details :
              1. Should be light weight(as I am lean).
              2. Only for city.
              3. Mileage about 50.
              4. Ride comfort.
              5. Bit of style.
              6. Reliable.
              7. Budget 80k.

              Chosen :
              FZ-S - Dream bike, everything perfect, except in mileage.
              Dazzler - a comprise to FZ

              FZ is my dream bike but due to mileage issue, I settled for Dazzler.
              I am a bit confused about Dazzler:
              1. Thin & Cheap plastic(becomes white)
              2. Digital speedometer is very small.
              3. Loose fitting of parts.
              4. Never seen any Dazzler on road till date.

              [Additional : My first post so sorry for any mistakes, don't want performance bikes like Pulsar or Apache]
              The Yamaha FZ is the perfect choice.. except in the fuel efficiency dept.

              The Honda Dazzler won't turn much heads in the looks dept.

              Why don't you look at the Hero Hunk (I still can't come to terms with the name though)..?? It looks nice, proportional and beefier than the Dazzler and will deliver better fuel efficiency than the Yamaha FZ-S for sure.

                Thanks for your replies.
                @payeng, Good suggestion, I will consider Hunk also, But is it heavy(146kg) as I only need for city driving.

                    140-150 Kgs is not very heavy for a motorcycle and can certainly be ridden in the city.. in fact a little bit of weight gives a stable and planted feel.

                    Try riding it.. I am sure it won't be that big an issue.

                      it won't be much heavier while driving, but at parking speed i find it a bit heavy (even i'm 17 and lean). Why don't you consider impulse.

                        Hi there,

                        I own a one and half year old Dazzler. Go for FZ mate. No kidding. The mileage is all very well but this bike is not exactly Honda's best. Boy the number of times I had to push start this bike and the embarrasment that it caused, it's just not worth putting up with the extra mileage. Plus this bike doesn't have any aspirational value. Only for the mind and hardly anything for the heart.

                        Plus if I'm not wrong FZ has better torque at low revs?

                        On the flip side this bike has good mileage, I get a consistent 52/55kmpl, and good comfortable seating and a rear disk brake which I prefer over a drum. Also once you get it over 4000rpm there is some good grunt and the acceleration therafter is good, probably better than FZ. But personally I think FZ's torque spread is more usable. But man the battery is PATHETIC!! I just can't forgive the bloody battery.

                            Try to test drive bikes which u interested. You will down to one bike.. When I bought my first bike around 2006, I had a same mind (since I am very lean and zero driving skills), and settled with discover 125 that time. My personal opinion is lean/heavy doesn't mean when you drive. Even parking your vehicle is very simple with center stand, learn techniques how to do that. If you have better balancing, then no need to worry. I am having FZ and I won't say mileage is poor. But yes when u compare with other 150cc bike in that segments. I would say test drive all and decide. If your mind and heart is filled with FZ then go with that, not that much heavy... since you are the one going to ride and going to enjoy each and every moment.. Drive safe avoid rash driving... what bike is in your parent's mind?

                              @testdrive, Thanks for reply but this is the whole problem. I cannot test drive the bikes(as I'm 17) but want to book the bike now, so it will get delivered around my birthday.

                              Well, frankly my dad has given me only the budget 80k. Whatever to choose, but now I'm confused between-FZ, Dazzler & Hunk(new 2011 Hunk also don't has a kick).

                                I have booked a RE Classic 500 Chrome and selling my FZ.

                                FZ niot a comfortable bike ?? now a days i see people touring on RE/Awengers/FZ only.

                                I am surprised friend to hear this. any bike for a good strech would be bad but i guess FZ would be good for strech 60-80kms.
