The fact is all about the Torque - Fazer is a Torque monster and dream to drive in city traffic by cutting the traffic and though it seems to be Big it is very maneuverable in the city traffic.
On the Other hand
Dazzler is same as CB Unicorn and i would say it suits people who look for less joy in ride and who worries on more mileage.

The best difference between both the fazer and Unicorn is the Rear sets - yes this may not be appealing to few people but the rearsets makes a good difference in the ride quality of both the bike.
Mileage, Styling, Engine kill switch, are the major difference between both the bikes.

Dude from everything you have written, Dazzler IS THE BIKE FOR YOU. And I say that as a proud dazzler owner!

Why? Here are my arguments for you:

First Fazer and Dazzler both cost approx. Rs75000 OTR in bangalore, so same price

Also both have same HP - 14bhps... BUT Dazzler is lighter! And less bulky. The only reason the Fazer might seem more appealing is because its max torque is at 6000rpm whereas Dazzler its at 6500rpm. As a result Fazer might seem more fun, but it is not! Why? I would have bought this argument had we been talking about FZ16 but because the front fairing of fazer is so bulky, it is not as much fun as as an FZ.

Further, the max power of Fazer comes in at 7500rpm whereas Dazzlers max power comes in at 8500rpms and this is the reason that given a long enough stretch, the FZs and Fazers are NEVER able to keep up with a Dazzler, they simply loose grunt after 7500rpms, ask any FZ owner what happens to the bike after 7500rpms. This itself should tell you which is more highway worthy, the cruising rpm of dazzler is 6500rpm (max torque), i.e. 87kmph (it does 80kmph at 6000rpm and I cruise at that speed btw also it does 94kmph at 7000rpms, ample for overtaking most cars) where as the cruising rpm of Fazer is 6000rpm (max torque rpm) and above that for long hours would be stressing the engine. At 100kmph FZs loose all grunt while Dazzler still has some juice left.

Now for the features, both bikes are almost identical in all features: 12L tanks, no kicker in both, Fazer should technically have better lights at night but since only one headlight works at a time, therefore same headlights, both have digital consoles, comfortable seats, O ring chains etc. But Dazzler has rear disc which FZ/Fazer dose not.

AND there are KNOWN issues with the rear tyre of FZ/Fazer where the rim gets bent due to potholes and the tyre looses all tyre pressure. Dazzler also has known issues with batteries, but not only does the battery get replaced free within warranty (I got mine for free ) push starting dazzler is crazy easy, infact I rode my bike WITHOUT any battery for 2 weeks and it runs just fine. Living without a battery is as easy or as difficult as living with a bike whose rear tyre needs air every morning.

Now the claim that fairing improves highway worthiness of a bike. True! BUT only if the bike is going to be doing in excess of 100kmph the whole day. Neither FZ/Fazer nor Dazzler can do that. What they can do is 80-90kmph the whole day. You don't really need a fairing for that as any hard core tourer will tell you.

And to top it up, mileage. Dazzler WILL give you 50kmpl no matter what. Most owners in the owner-ship thread claim 55. Many have ACTUALLY got more than 60kmpl and more on highways consistently. These figures cannot be even imagined for FZ/Fazer.

So my final answer to you. Are you an urban warrior? Do you weave in and out of city-traffic like crazy? Do you race every time the signal turns green only to race again at the next signal? Do you crave the exhilaration of acceleration over the adrenalin of speed? If you answer YES to any of the above go for the FZ (Fazer is really pointless actually)

I get my fix from highway speeds and high mileage so I went for the Dazzler and have never looked back!

75K in Bangalore!!!

In chennai, fazer costs 86-87K...how come huge price difference?

Fazer was ~88K in Hyd three months back.. May be he wanted to write Fz and not Fazer.. Fazer wont be less than 83K anywhere in India.
For the threadstarter - I think Dazzler is more than enough for all your requirements.

I Just wanted a my first bike to be Safe,Easy to maintain

,Easy to ride,Comfortable...and to have great performance till 100Kmh( not constant 100Kmh riding) along with a mileage of around 45-50 and I need a bike that can take me out of Mumbai on weekends once I become more confident on the bike..My father also may use to bike for day to day chores and stuff..when im sleeping

So..In mind there are couple of things right now

Why are there so few dazzlers on the street when the price of dazzler and pulsar 150 is almost the same??? Is it because the looks are not that Aggressive and big as an fz or is it because of some other reason?

After Reading the forum and random web searches...I have come to a conclusion that.

Dazzler owners are a happy lot...they complain about out lack of spares and battery issues but eventually get them resolved and always mention I get 45-55+ mileage.

Fazer owners say Mileage is in the 35-40 Mark...and some proudly state that I got 40kmpl im very happy..while on the other hand I read a Dazzler owner wanted to lodge a complaint for getting 40kmpl mileage

Yeah...so this is what is in my mind...I know difference of 5kmpl is not a big deal but 50-55 vs 35-40 is..especially when you have similar performance...

* My uncle has an FZ which is about a year old I can always use that if I want a bit of Yamaha. he also says 35-38 Mileage.
* My Parents have a Honda Aviator so I know how reliable Honda stuff is.

If I have the wrong thinking here please correct me as like I said only based my views on what I have heard from others. on forums. thanks.

Ok guys..there is a new Dazzler Gold Colour( No Silver stopped by HONDA .) but the guy at the showroom says its 5 months old (date of manufacture) so should order again 45 day wait period or 5 months old is not a big deal..and you guys have an checklist even a basic one where I can just check that I'm not being ripped of or anything..or is ok If I just take a friend along with me who has owned a regular unicorn and he can check the engine and brakes.

thanks for your replies !!!
