    Hi,

    I am Hemanth Kumar Reddy from madanapalle. I am planning to buy a new bike for long rides. i am 5.11 feet long and 90 kgs weight. i am confused between CBR150r or Pulsar as200..?? if i choose cbr 150r then how i looks like on the bike . Because i am little bit chubby.. Coming to Pulsar 200as, it looks like new model of Discover 150 but tech specifications are same like NS. Normally i will ride my bike 80-90kms per hours on highways.. Somebody told me cbr is high rev engine so you need to pull the accelerator so hardly.. is it true..?? So friends please give some valuable suggestions..
    I'll try to compare the two bikes on various paramete, then it is upto you to take a test ride and decide.

    1. Smoothness: CBR150
    2. City riding: AS200. On CBR150, you would need to upshift and downshift regularly and it could be quite a pain!
    3. Highway riding: I would prefer AS200 on this just because of the higher engine displacement. But having said that, both bikes can do speeds of 110 all day long.
    4. Build quality: CBR150
    5. Value for money: AS200 hands down. CBR150 is quite overpriced IMO.
    6. Niggles/service: CBR150. Honda are known for their bulletproof engines, aren't they?
    7. Looks: Subjective. But you won't look bad on either bikes.

    Other factors:
    1. CBR150 is quite an old model and towards the end of its product lifecycle. This was the only reason which made me abandon my decision of buying CBR250.
    2. You will face vibes in AS200 but the engine is way smoother than the old Pulsar models.

    If you can afford it, I would suggest you to go for CBR250 rather than CBR150 given that you are OK with pt 1 above. Otherwise, I think AS200 is a better (or maybe more sensible) option.
    Riding a bike is like flying.... All your senses are alive...

      Both the bikes are good enough for your requirements. But, AS200 is a more VFM than CB150R. To me, the quality of some parts in 150R is not up to the mark when compared to the price it commands for a 150cc(no offense to any owner - just a personal opinion).
      You can also consider the R15-S. R15 is a proven bike with sufficient power and excellent engineering. What it lacked was pillion comfort. Now, with the single seat variant, that has also been taken care of.

      A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

          Finally i bought AS200. But i am feeling i did a mistake because of it's weight and power delivery engine is very lazy.

            Congrats on your purchase. Ride hard. Ride safe.
            And as far as your uneasiness with the bike is concerned, give it time and you'll get to love it. All of a sudden if you are riding a different machine, you may find some difficulties. But, with time, you'd appreciate her.
            All the best!

                  In terms of Power output both P180 and Cbr150r are almost the same. But CBR150 have some advantages. It has 6 gears so it helps in top speed and also it is high revving than Pulsar because of the shorter stroke. All in all generally Honda quality is better when compared to Bajaj.

                  There is no need to regret after buying AS200 because in terms of power it is better than CBR150. Almost all features in AS200 is better than the other.
