Re: Honda trigger or FZs

thanks for your suggestion.

whatever you said has been quoted in the above comparisons of the auto websites.

rear mudguard is missing and brake pedal feels somewhat flimsy. but brakes were good..

should be careful regarding mud splashing..cant help.

Honda is known for cheap switch gears so no help.. Engine kill switch is not a big thing..even in my old pulsar it was missing..

hope these are minor disadvantages ..OTR for deluxe version is 84k chennai..

Re: Honda trigger or FZs

Buddy, you are badly confused. Dont me in this situation. Every bike has its own goods and bads, only thing you need to do it accept both.

I think, the things you mentioned about Trigger, better be away from it.

Yamaha has launched FZ with upgraded cosmetic changes, you should look at it. Also if it gives 5kmpl lesser average, better checkout Pulsar 200 NS with same FE but huge difference in performance.

Re: Honda trigger or FZs

actually am not confused..i know no bike is perfect. was looking for different opinions from members to assess the advantages and disadvantages..

am towards trigger for the above reasons mentioned in my earlier posts.

reg pulsar NS, again the same reasons, more weight, pillion seat, open chain case, power that i don't need.

Re: Honda trigger or FZs

Should you try Honda Unicorn too. Its tried and tested bike with amazing FE and Honda trust.

Re: Honda trigger or FZs

Trigger - Pros - HONDA, Cons - Performance:Mileage doesn't make much of a story.
FZ - Pros - Ride quality, Performance, Cons - Pillion Comfort, Mileage.
P200NS - Pros - Absolute VFM, Mileage in the league of several 150cc bikes, Cons - Pillion comfort, The burden of Bajaj reliability.
Open chain isn't too much of a problem if you take some 10 mins every fortnight to clean/pressure wash it.
Considering your requirements, the GS150R actually is the best fit. However, as long as you get atleast one ASC in your office/home vicinity, you should definitely consider it.
However, test ride all the bikes and then take the decision, cos, no matter how many suggestions you get, you would know what's best for you.

I have the same requirements as you do, except, my usage exceeds 2.5k kms a month, and had similar choices too, however, I had the ZMA twins in the list as well. Now, I've finally decided on the P200NS, which, I should be getting pretty soon, not saying that you should get the same

Re: Honda trigger or FZs


thanks for the suggesition..reg pulsar NS, i have mentioned earlier my doubts.

unicorn same old design, 9kg more than trigger/FZs.

Re: Honda trigger or FZs

Hi KKsin123,

Although I never rode a Trigger, but have seen quite a few on roads (both delhi and gurgaon), and rode along them side by side in crawling traffics and highways.

As a dazzler owner, I observed it to be even smaller in flesh, yet the seating position, exhaust note & maneuverability is same as dazzler. (looks like a 100-125cc bike, Discovers 100T and 125ST look bigger, unless you see puny tires on them ).
Dont want to comment more as I didnt ride any and dont know how it distributes its bhps over different gears.

Regarding FZ please dont buy it for performance (NOM), (here would like to mention many fzs & fazer guys treat it like super bike , actually that's a good thing in some ways)
Buy it for looks, style, reliability, better build quality and handling. (not comparing with any one here) and don't bother about mileage difference up to 5Km/ltr


PS: Honda service centers are crap, you will not get services most of the times (or very low on quality/unacceptable) even if you are ready to pay for it.

Re: Honda trigger or FZs

Thank u for all your suggestions.
After a long list of test drives including
Trigger, fzs, rtr, ns, and gs am considering ns. The test drives made the decision move towards ns.

The weight and handling was my priority and pillion support. NS suited more than the other bikes.

Hope it satisfies as my earlier pulsar 150.
Pros: powerful, handling, looks, proper upgrade from pulsar150.
Cons: vibes, pillion support, not smooth as honda. 15k costlier.

Hope I made the right decision. What u say guys.

Re: Honda trigger or FZs

I feel you made a good decision, and 200ns sure is a value for money product (for what if provides).
I agree with the cons list,
but when compared to other listed bikes (except for gs) I doubt its handing, trigger and fz should be winner here.(but they are less powerful)

Don't count that difference, ns will not disappoint you. (one can easily live with relatively less refined engine, may be its more a personal thing).

Re: Honda trigger or FZs

if you want the best quality and best ownership experience (its refined, vibe free, wind tunnel tested design, very good dynamics, brilliant handling and balance)....go for fz, trust me it will never disappoint you. its performance is sufficient for indian roads. p200 is a good bike considering its price and performance but still its having some issues like coolant leakage, paint, fit n finish, (its good but it cannot match yamaha standards) vibes which are even loosing nuts and bolts around engine.....
go through p200 ownership experience thread properly before buying it....
