        You can't go wrong with the Yamaha SZ-RR VER 2.0

          +1 for Yammy.
          Shine is also good but the Honda service centers are not.
          I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

              Very difficult to get the GS150. Most dealerships will tell you that the bike isn't sold anymore. This started after the launch of the Gixxer. Else it is a wonderful bike

                GS150 is a very capable bike indeed. But most Dealers and showrooms will not have them. And if asked they will say that it is discontinued. Even if you get your hands on one, there might be a spare part problem few years down the line, because Suzuki is in no mood to take care of this old bike. They are more focused on the New Gixxers and scoots. So keeping in mind the long term trouble free ownership, GS150 is not a good choice(only because Suzuki has abandoned it, a great bike otherwise).
                Against all odds, if you find a dealer who is willing to sell a GS150, please ask him about the spare part availability. If they are easily available even after a few years and they give you word for it. Go for it. Else Yammy is always the safe option.
