      Hi buddy, even i am also looking for similar answer.... Here:banghead:

      100 cc or 125 cc for tall people (above 6") - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community
      http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/showthread.php?t=26535
      Having tough time selecting a bike and looking for experts’ opinion? Then this is the place for you...



      if u asked from me... Ignitor is a good package if u feel or think its pricing which is approx 68000rs here in delhi is worthy for 125cc bike, despite if u spend 3000more u can get unicorn or gs150r.

      OR still i saw many new stunner (with new high security no plates) these days too. Despite ppls complaints abt the quality issue. (check mouthshut.com). But its only 62000rs thats with better look than ignitor. That wht my option .

      Rest i never think apart frm these two in 125cc department.

            Ignitor and Stunner share the same engine from HONDA, same chassis and almost similar body panels.

            Stunner - analog meter console, o-ring chain (no closed chain guard), no upgrade in past 3-4 years
            Ignitor - recent launch from Hero, digital meter console, conventional chain, there is slight change in gear ratio to give better mileage than stunner

                As other members stated the first two, i would go for the Ignitor..!!


                also think of Unicorn Dazzler, is also a nice one though it may cost you some extra money..!!


                Do post pics of your ride when you get it..!!

                Cheerz..!!

                    Getting angry at somebody is the same as getting angry with a bike that just won't go. You should stop and start thinking.

                    It is funny to know that we've been imitated and copied so well                     and surprising when we notice our mistakes are copied as well.

                          ok ok ... Delhi is a Union territory , so the taxes would be less resulting in this difference.
                          I hope the on-road price of Ignitor too should be in the range of 63k then, in Delhi.
