    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).
    Dude you are constantly worried about the weight. It doesn't matter. You can even manage a bullet. If one knows to handle the bike, its all done. But at the same time I agree a bike's weight plays a good role in the handling. What it depends more on is how the bike's front and rear are balanced in terms of weight.

    From your options, I recommend Hunk as its a head turner, decent performer and also returns good FE. Its a nice street bike. Else if your heart says FZ, talk to the big man about the FE issue, get the approval and go for it.

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

        Well said !. I for one am kinda super lean person and yet find my 150 kg ZMA easily manageable in city. rather any terrain.

        And like Satyen said, nothing will satisfy you more than your "Dream" machine.. Believe me cuz i know it by experience

          Thanks all of you for your opinions. Just a last question-is the absence of kick a major problem, especially in winter mornings ???

            No need to worry dude, I am also running a kick less bike, For winters every bike has got choke, if only your battery got drained fully, even then you will have the option 'Push to start' which work perfectly in every condition as a kick can do.

              Nope not at all....


              As i am a happy R15 user now R15 is close to 2 yrs of friendship with me. and i never faced such issues of bike not starting or battery drain. But not sure about DZ though, but FZ surely not. i sue my bike twice or thrice in a week but no battery or start up issues. But as it would grow old then bike need to be started daily. so battery gets to function and no issues arise. Mostly standing still bikes have this battery issue.

              But heard of DZ battery issues too.

                Thanks to all xBhpians. I finally opted to go for Dazzler.
                But suddenly I thought of P135 as an option.

                +ve
                Light weight
                About 15K lesser
                Has kick
                Engine kill switch
                Large speedo display
                Clip on handle bars
                Split seats

                -ve
                Reliability
                Gear smoothness
                Tube tyres
                Dual suspension

                What do you people think?

                  Dazzler is bit uncomfortable to ur height(personal experience on td mine's 6'1") and u wont get 50 in city riding maybe 40-45 which is good in city.

                  p135 will fulfill all ur requirements test ride it first then make the choice.
                  u can even test ride shine,hayate,dream yuga...

                    P135 is a good choice. Looks a little different thsn the others. Performsance of 150cc, FE of 125cc(atleast thats what company claims). As of reliabilty, it depends on you. If you care for your bike, any bike will serve you well for long period. One of my freind had 7 yrs old Platina in good condition.
