in bajaj..... discover 135 is reliable according to your limits
other i think you should not go for..........
coz as hell glider said.... its true

for ur requirements
u need a bike with good handling and comfort..........
and no sudden pick ups like rtr because u dont seem a racy guy
so for complete comfort for you and your wife
go for a bike that suits all this

as someone said
dont for too much weight otherwise a doctor may need to treat his own arms
traffic needs good handling and flick ability
so think on that terms
and take test rides

although there is a comparison between the gsr and uni
as people are telling........... gsr may be a problem for ur wife
its pillion seat is too much heighted

well it makes sense to me
but then in the end i dont want u cursing me for this thing
according to BIKEINDIA....... in their review they have written that at high speeds
winds come directly on the face of pillion...
n this is unbearable!
but i cant tell this is true or not
so this point i think its for u to trust or not
at ur own risk

if the showroom guys allow....... take ur wife for a ride on both bikes
and ask her opinion as well

make sure u buy a helmet with some basic things like knee and elbow guards for you and your wife
even the experienced crash sometimes and this knee and elbows are very important
i have known people losing their mobility


ps : all thoughts are according to my opinion........

I am a little off Honda as even for smallest service one has to take appointment (as told by my friend who has an xTreme). Although- Any bike by Honda is anyday comfortable with minimum services. Unicorn/Hunk/xTreme are good choices.

What is so uncomfy about the Xtreme's seat? Except it being tall, which could be a problem for short people, I have not felt any glaring issue when I'v gone pillion on by Xtreme.

How come the FZ is out of discussion ? Rear seat height can be a question though and water splash can be a problem for the pillion as I read in the FZ ownership forum, otherwise is quite of a comfortable bike with good power.
GS has amazing handling even with a higher weight. The 6th gear lowers the vibes for long distance cruise (even in city). Do not go with the fact that it will be a bad experience for a pillion at high speeds. The tests done by the magazines are at top speeds (Over 100kmph). Even if that is true: Would you really ride at 100kmph inside city with your wife as pillion ? If yes then on any bike this is the problem.

No point taking a 125. Even if somebody is upgrading from 100CC. A 150 CC is always better.
Just my thoughts!

One of my friend has an extreme, and whenever i ride pillion with him it is the most uncomfortable ride for me, and yes height is another factor but I was talking about the inclination, you seem to slide into the rider most of the time and i even find the seating position very uncomfortable..

Again its my experience, you may find it comfy, but looking at the fact that his wife is going to be the pilion most of the time, i seriously don't think Xtreme is a good choice........

FZ is a good bike, but juist doesnt fit in my priorities since i m looking for commuter 150 c.c ( yeah i hav decided it has to be 150 not keen on even considering 125 cc)
Just now went to aadi honda showroom malakpet hyderabad. They said they r not giving test rides, sounded really indifferent. on road the price is 64,415 excluding accesories. waiting period of 45-60 days.
So my inferences...... unicorn works out around 2000 rs cheaper, after sales service not much of an issue, but waiting period of 45-60 days, gs150r looks much more advanced and sophisticated than unicorn.
And the lady told me that i would be charged 12% life tax instead of routine 9% if i already have a bike registered in my name
There was this another guy in the showroom ( must be a broker ) who saw my 2001 splendour and told i can get rs 19000 for it.
Thats it for now hope to keep u guys updated and thanks for ur priceless opinions.
