      and the question remains why do i race?
      every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

                  I think they will coat around 55k , as their latest competitor hero ignitor is placed around is placed around 55k . Its gonna be neck to neck for these two bikes . Bajaj will have an extra edge if they price below ignitor

                    no my friend it has much different segment than ignitor! It has mono shocks which turns the table first, later t has petal disc brake, braking quality will be more and it has aweomse power of 13 ps power with 11nm torque.

                            better you test ride both the bikes bro but after ur test ride i think you will stick to discover coz the new discovers are refined and has better specs then others, but imo twister looks bit too commuterish i mean discover looks more premium and upmarket but if you dont like to with bajaj then also look at stunner if it fits ur price bracket coz its one awesome looking bike which is better looking then most 150cc btw even stunner gives 60kmpl on highways and about 50 in city

                              Things can be better henceforth with 200NS, 125ST & future models from BAJAJ, but still it has a lot of backlog with its products. I agree that recent products are running well but major of us will not agree that their bikes are running hassle-free.

                              I myself own a p220dtsi (purchased apr'10) and covered 19k, still my bike suffer from many issues which (former)PBK guys and regular pulsar mechs are unable to sort out. Since last 2 years I am hunting for a good mech here in Hyd but no one are able to rectify exact issues.

                              Coming back to SVCs, guys there are hardly concerned in sorting out glitches being faced by old & new customers, major part of 2 wheeler owners are so deeply concerned about getting things sorted out coz they hardly find time to get it sorted. In such scenario, it is better to go ahead with product with less issues being faced rather than experimenting with new products.

                              Manufactures should better equip respective SVCs so that their efforts from R&D are taken to next level by customers.

                                Twister has got good mileage, pickup, decent top end speed and it’s a wonder with the looks as well. Discover might offer your more power and top speed at a lower price but not the best proposition out of the two for long term.
                                Only problem I see is its narrower rear tyre compared to discover, but haven't seen people facing any issues with it if the bike is gonna be used for commuting and not for long rides.
                                Suggesting you to not completely ignore the Discover coz its new model and may have improved quality . Have a look at the new Discover in person and test ride of the before deciding. You can blindly go for Twister but for discover you will have to keep your eyes open.

                                Apologies in advance if I hurt the feelings of any of the Bajaj supporters.








                                Thanks Bros for your points and concerns . now am looking for more options. recently i came across TVS Flame DS125 .

                                Is this model still running ??? I havent seen this bike before , just came to know while browsing. If this is still running . how is it performing??

                                @imran , Bro while referring to my friends. i came to know that the customer service is poor. i mean sometimes they dont sort out the problem , just clean up the bike and give away . bcoz i personnaly had some of these problems when i had centra . The TVS guys would just do some cleaning and dusting and thats it , if we arent carefull they would fool us. I dont know about the HONDA guys , but having listening this from few people , am in a fix.!!
