    Need help in selection

    Hi guys,

    I'm planning to buy new bike.
    Pointers:
    1) I will be mostly using it as city commuter.
    2) Weekend getaways.
    3) Occasional long rides
    4) Mileage expected: around 50-55
    5) Top speed should cross (or at least touch) 100 kmph.

    I have come up with following options:
    1) XCD 135 (if I can get ownership exp of this one, it would be great!)
    2) Pulsar 150
    3) Unicorn
    Ride fast...ride safe

    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      Why not added Yamaha Gladiator SS in your list

      1) 2) It give 50 to 55 KMPL average in City Condition ( I was getting this average)
      3) Top speed is 105 KMPH (I obtained)
      4) Currently one of the best value for the money bike in 125 CC segment.(Good feature in best buy value/low maintenance cost/smooth engine/Good pick-up)
      5) Good space for pillion.

      I suggest take a test drive and take it for further consideration.

          Ohh man I would have suggested u GS150R... but from your options, you seem wise to drop it out !!
          Go for Unicorn...

            1) I will be mostly using it as city commuter - Pulsar or Unicorn.
            2) Weekend getaways - Unicorn for ride comfort.
            3) Occasional long rides - Unicorn again.
            4) Mileage expected: around 50-55 - Pulsar or Unicorn.
            5) Top speed should cross (or at least touch) 100 kmph - Again Pulsar or Unicorn.

            Pulsar - Power & Resale value
            Unicorn - Its a HONDA..!!
            XCD - Not a looker and I don't think its got a good resale value (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

                Go for Honda Stunner 125cc looks awesome ,great mileage,less vibrations
                In 150cc go for Honda unicorn looks good ,great mileage,less vibrations
                both are less revving engines ideal for the commuter... and long riding too..

                    I have Gladiator RS, I think Gladi has all what you are looking for... Speed, I reached 110kmph, covered few places on weekends, gives me 55kmpl and I commute everyday.

                    May be you can test drive, then you can choose any of the other options that are available in the market.

                      Hey!

                      Of of your Choices my vote would go for the Unicorn cos


                      I'm planning to buy new bike.
                      Pointers:
                      1) I will be mostly using it as city commuter.
                      The Unicorn is built for this and performs very well in this role.

                      2) Weekend getaways.
                      With it's engine refinement and smoothness the Unicorn is a very capable machine to get away on.

                      3) Occasional long rides
                      Same as #2

                      4) Mileage expected: around 50-55
                      Unicorn does will return you this mileage

                      5) Top speed should cross (or at least touch) 100 kmph.
                      The unicorn easilly does this.

                      Also with the unicorn you get Honda's legendary reliability and comfort.

                          thanks a lot guys for all these helpful tips and suggestions...

                          I'll definitely consider Unicorn and Gladiator before making final choice.

                          Thanks again.
