Thread Approved

Helpful or not, hope this thread doesn't become a battlefield of brands as FE is completely dependent on the rider & riding conditions. Anyway, to start with...

100 cc - Undisputed leader Discover 100
110 cc - Dream Yuga
125 cc - Discover 125 (hopefully, ideally the 135 is suffice)
150 cc - Honda Unicorn

Ganesh its going to be a battle field now

Hero / TVS / Mahindra / Honda???

Ha ha ha you look like a Bajaj suporter

I'm a product lover & always have been one...everyone in xBhp knows this!!!

I know, am just pulling you

Is there an ARAI mileage chart for this?

And also, why still use cc as reference for this? Shouldn't we be classifying w.r.t. bhp nowadays? Especially with segment busters like P135 / R15 / CBR150R / Duke? For offering something unique to the 'cc' defined segment?

+1 to aargee's list. Much needed thread for this hiking season. GS150 R also could be added in 150.

@threadstarter..If you decide by considering all these four segments together, you will be confused. Better settle for one segment and pick one mileage master from that segment.
Some points from my side to decide the right segment.
100 CC - For best fuel efficiency. Strictly no fun
110 CC - IMO almost similiar to 100 CC..(Twister and Yuga are only options)
125 CC - mix of average performance and good economy.
150 CC - average economy and good performance.

150 CC - sometime back..our traditional 150s(for eg..Unicorn) was considered as executive segment. But now executive segment means bike which should have liquid cooled and six speed gear box. Why I am mentioning this and all here is..don't consider R15 or CBR150 if your first requirement is Fuel economy they are performance oriented.

HERO puch

When petrol finish we can use paddle (he he he he)

Bajaj 200NS booking started??? i am no where...i din't hear this from anywhere, but nice atleast it started!!

One thin din't understand you thought of Duke/NS both are in segment of mileage around 40kmpls +- and suddenly with hike of Rs7.5 switched to 100cc and 110cc/125cc, why bro....

suddenly you compared the mileage from 40kmpl to 60kmpl or so....

But good thought becuase if we buy it now a 200cc bike, it's very likely that in coming 1.5yrs petrol would raise to Rs100 liter.

But Dude these things are very different, performance, mileage, speed, power.

Mostly now people will buy atleast two bikes one for dailt i.e 110c or 100 cc for good mileage and other one as 200cc or 250cc or 350cc or higher as weekend/touring bikes.

now to the main subject:

Hero Splendour +/pro/super is also dam good in average approx 60kmpl+/-.
Passion same here.
Twister
Stunner
Discover 100cc,110cc.
Yuga/Shine

Yamaha Crux
YamahaYBR

apart from mileage you to see in maintenance too , so with this all consideration Bajaj and Hero are best in this category with cheap parts and good average. 150 surely won't hit this section as we are concern now in mileage than performance, INMO!!

Whay not a Platina and the legendary Splendor...??? They are cheaper too...



Hero what ?????

Sorry mods...

I'm sure, this is the only way going forward those who want power for fun and commuter bikes with huge mileage to keep the fuel expenses on the lower side. Anyhow, you answered it correctly why I want to switch from 40+/- to at least 55+/-.

Pulsar 200 NS I booked in March itself, still no response. I don't see it getting in our hands before July or may be even August, so had to decide now. I have been waiting anxiously from January thinking it will be available by April, then May and now I will be seeing June and really it has crossed all boundary limitations. Bajaj people can't even stand up to their own words.

I guess, in addition to yours list, they also have more or less the same mileage.
110 cc - Twister
150 cc - Pulsar 150, Suzuki GS 150, Hunk

Discover 125 ST is not coming anytime soon, it will be available by July only. So, its a lot of time for waiting again.

Should I go for Twister as it has some style quotient plus some initial pickup too. Any problems, which I would face if I go with this.

Plus in 150 segment: Out of the mentioned above bikes which anyone should go for. Its a very hot topic, only personal view. Please mention the reason for selection and let others decide upon themselves. No fights on this .. Please !!!

I think we should use Price to classify them instead of bhp/cc/torque
Hero passion pro/Suzuki Slingshot/Yamaha Gladiator/Discover are on the same price range but deliver different FE and Performance.

Never heard of ARAI FE certification for any 2 wheelers' I though it was only for Cars. off course i may be ignorant..

Replies in bold.
OT - Please continue with the bookings of the NS. Agreed you'll get only 40-45 kmpl as mileage, but you won't burn/regret seeing any other NS/200/250cc mill on road. Don't miss out on the fun just because you took some decision in haste/agony/annoyance.

Cheers.

Here is one. But it is a bit old (Jan 2010).
