    Else if u want a better overall package, the GS150R.

            Yes unicorn, xtreme and hunk share the same engine from hondas aresnal!

            But Unicorn produces the class lowest power output of 13.3bhps
            and Hunk and extreme produce 14.2 Bhp of power

            This huge diffrence of approx 1 bhp (in indian context) is clearly feel-able once you ride the agile xtreme or a hunk...and the sluggish unicorn....!

            Anyways, among these xtreme or Hunk should form your ride...

            Comparing Suzuki GSR, Its a bike which does everything in the right amount....nothing great, nothing bad....
            Considering the huge torque of 13.4Nm (Compared to Hondas 12.8Nm), this bike sure feels a lot lot better in city ride.....!
            Add to that , the sixth gear which is more of an overdrive and makes the bike feel great while cruising on long stretch of roads....!
            Add to that, you get the segment best looking speedo console and other gizmos and gadgets....!

            Summing it up from my side...
            1- Xtreme/Hunk are awesome when it comes to fun part
            2- Suzuki GSR , if you want a complete machine without exceeding in one thing and leaving out the other....!

              Why making more confusion for yourself You seems to be much impressed by the GSR.. Then Don't wait go and buy one..
              Also I remember You discarded P150 for the reason of it being popular so are unicorn and other HH sisters.. So The comparatively younger GSR will meet all your needs and fulfill all your purposes

              Any more confusions?

                Coincidentally, the modded cam that the Xtreme and Hunk run leads to some very tangible jarring past 60kays.
                AND, the only bike in the above list to have a monoshock is the 'sluggish' Uni my friend and that very feature makes the Uni the best handling bike in this very list.
                This is something that most people would do well to consider...

                  @TS

                  If u want a butter smooth engine , mono suspension , go for the Uni

                  If u want a more "fun-to-ride" ,peppier machine go for Hunk/Xtreme.

                  No more Uni/Xtreme arguements.
                  When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)

                    Yups, Uni is the best handler and cornering machine in its segment....
                    No two ways about it...............


                    But all the others are also very very good at this respect....
                    I mean no bike is bad...so that you take a turn and you fall down....
                    All the others inspire confidence while riding or cornering......
                    Hence, I feel this factor is overshadowed by the other bigger practical factors in real riding....!

                      @onlyyourspiyu: i feel you are confusing yourself alot, the clear winner here seems to be Unicorn, now you just have to make up your mind and decide if you prefer SUZUKI or HONDA.

                        Guyssss.....decision made and its final..

                        I am going for Suzuki GS150R....

                        Took a test drive of Honda Unicorn and liked it too... As you all mentioned cornering and drive comfort...good package no doubt...but when during driving, I encountered more than 15 unicorns in a matter of 5mins, I thought otherwise...

                        So...it is Suzuki...Honda lovers, no doubt your vote was valid and had nt been suzuki, i would have bought uni for sure....so cheers to all..

                        Thanks a lot....will be booking one for me sooooooon...
