      Those doesn't have vibes coz those are 150.They don't generate the amount of power and torque 200 has.
      Even a vbr250r has vibes coz one has to understand its a single cylinder

        My advice - As a commuter, stay away from faired bikes. Also, when you are stuck in traffic and there is a pillion, a naked bike will always be better.
        Gixxer is a great bike. But, if your wife might not feel very comfortable sitting pillion. The pillion seat is high.
        Choose between FZ2.0 and Unicorn. FZ lacks a bit in terms of power but makes up for that through FI. The pillion seat of Uni160 is perhaps the best among these three. If possible take a prolonged ride of these bikes from friends/rentals with your wife to get the feeling as to how comfortable the seating is.
        150AS is the most powerful of the lot but I doubt whether you'll ever use the power in its fullest.
        A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

          thanks guys for your valuable reply.

          suzuki gixxer -- that design didnt strike me in first place & rear seat hight is also issue for me, as am married now

          yamaha FZ II - great Bike ...but lack of power for sure... one of my friend have FZ.. i had rode it 2/3 time for long distance. i feel pickup is low.

          unicorn 160 -- i saw bike yesterday...on road price for dual disc is 87800. but i heard its not upto the mark..(as old Unicorn 150), & my wife also didnt like design.

          pulsar 150 as -- i had taken test drive & read lots reviews/saw videos. bike actually feels good. driven for 1 km so cant comment on performance.. but din feel vibes.
          looks also great.. projector lamp will be plus point for me...


          guys pl tell me about unicorn 160.

          power & performance..

            That sad smiley is for the fact that the seat is too high, or for the fact that you're married.

                Read the ownership thread and you will see. There are crazy vibes after 3-4 months. And nobody can figure out how or why.

                RIDE WITH DIGNITY .
                True.

                And how does one ride without dignity?

                Good luck making people believe that.

                  Yes I still say it doesn't have vibes.I own this bike and it doesn't have.
                  The only vibes they are taking about is the console becoming lose. If someone opens it and tighten the screw's it will be smooth again . that's about it

                    New FZ is actually quite sad. Absolutely no power feel for a bike which costs so much.

                    Gixxer (better low end) and AS (better top end) are much better machines. Can't comment on new Unicorn as yet to ride one

                      fz isnt as bad as stated it has the best build quality under a lac , it is the lightest here , its the smoothest , fe for me 44-48 , has the best reliability , pillion comfort is better, cheapest to maintain.. I used to own a 220 2013 model before fzfi .still I am much faster on fz and even after 200kms I used to be far less fatigued . .so dont judge it on mere test drive...and refinment n reliability is not a forte of bajaj...want a long term bike always go for Japanese. ..l

                            I rode the Gixxer and it is an amazing machine for the given 150cc and it is very smooth and vibration free. The exhaust sound is also very good from those twin exhaust ports.

                            Attaching a few photos of the Gixxer SF.

                              Thats not me on the race cup bike. As evident from the watermark on the photo, this was taken from Suzuki's facebook page.

                              The dealer is not agreeing for SF test drive but offered Gixxer instead for a short ride.
