    +1 for Unicorn
    it fits your bill completly. but mast nahi dikhti hai. you can do some mods on it visually.

    otherwise go for gs150. damn good bike. eat your cake or keep it. one of the two. also i think go by your heart is the best policy. biking is more of a heart thing than head thing

      Obviously you are not considering below 125 cc right..I hope so.
      Glady gives good mileage too..50-55 kmpl is sure...in city..
      very good for week end rides too...something that no other 125 cc bike will be capable, maybe the stunner is, but a fully speced stunner is what Rs.55K???
      The SS/RS is just above 50K on road I think.

      Checked out Gladiator RS/SS today, loooked good, though on road price here is around 55k and yamaha claims mileage to be 59.6km/ltr...was too late for a test drive, if budget does nt permit me to stretch beyond 60k I may consider it... Though just in case can anyone confirm abt its resale value...

        Hmm...that could be a problem..I dont think there is any bike in India that has a resale value other than the HH Passion, Splendour and maybe the Unicorn..but you hardly see a Unicorn on sale anywhere..
        Resale value may not be too good...but again are you buying a bike to sell it off, or to enjoy the ride as long as you have it???
        Frankly enquire about the resale value in the local market...only HH will have any..that does not mean you will buy it, right??
        If riding, handling, braking, cornering is more important then buy the Glady.

          i will suggest - unicorn..
          it costs around 65k in bangalore +2k for accessories.. so if it fits into ur budget go for it..
          Suzuki GSR is a good bike too with a very good mileage for 150 cc bike, but looking at ur resale requirement, dont want to suggest tht..
          i heard glady is good.. but its jus i heard.. dont know much abt it.
          I like to meditate a lot.. On my BIKE!

                Phew !!!

                But then, I guess he shot himself in the foot by bringing the topic up in such a confrontational way !!

                Maybe it would have made for a constructive discussion in the correct room !!

                  I am a proud owner of Hero Honda Hunk! i am very satisfied with it. i don't think you can expect 50+ mileage on this one . i get variable from 45 - 50. Nothing more to write about it ! Having it for more than an year till now , no problems ! still feel so good riding it everyday.

                        Go for the agile brothers of the sluggish unicorn...EXTREME or HUNK...

                        Both are awesome machines and much better than unicorn...

                        They are the improved version of unicorns engine....so hence, should make an obvious choice...(though you would have to make do with a little less milege compared to uni)

                        Next keep GSR also as an option....!

                          If refinement is the concern, Unicorn.
                          When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)

                            +1 to that.

                            Me to with height of 6 ft....Suggest you Xtreme over Unicorn. Xtreme gives you proper Knee recess when compared to Unicorn whose tank is quite huge. Proper knee recess will always aid you in good comfort and handling of the bike.

                            I have been happy owner of Xtreme. Except for Very little difference in mileage and refinement when compared to uni, Xtreme must do the job for you. Xtreme does provide you more power and features when compared to Uni. Uni and Xtreme has good road presence. And new Xtreme does look good.

                            So its Xtreme I say. Hunk may not be suitable for you again due to height and knee recess..

                              Apart from the rear LED light and the single pilot lamp up front, i dont see any other feature that is present in Xtreme and absent in Unicorn.
