I have even heard a few of my friends saying...."Pulsar ek sal ke bad dabba ban jayegi - sab kuch dhila dhala ho jaye ga" This is very confusing

do not hear to those persons ,, most of them are biased views..

if u maintain your bike well, than it wil serve you for long time,regarding CBZ xtreme, if i were buyer i would have buyed P150ug4 , as it is the best from the lot of pulsar 150 family and is mine favourite..
CBZ extreme i donot know, but my friend has one and he is happy with it.. mind you he drives his extreme extremely hard ripping it most of time and never maintains it, but the xtreme CBZ handles it quite easily

CBZ Best Choice

what I feel CBZ xtreme is much better than the Pulsar 150, since Hero Honda has made the best 150 cc engine in terms of mileage and performance. I earlier thought fot xtreme too but Yamaha(FZ 16) pe dil aa gaya... I would suggest to go for cbz xtreme, it has got mileage, performance with low maintenance.

Even the handling of xtreme is much better than Pulsar 150...

So go for CBZ xtreme...

The Hero Honda Engine in the CBZ-X is the same as the Unicorn engine which was surely not made by Hero Honda! Its made by Honda and its just tuned slightly differently on the CBZ-X.

according to me most important part of any bike is engine .
cbz has very smooth and reliable honda engine, pulsar engine is nowhere near to honda engine.

Two of my friends bought cbz and pulsar 3 years back.
Last month one has to spent 12000 rs on pulsar engine overhauling, but the guy with cbz is very happy.
I have seen honda engine doing 50000 km aur engine me chabi tak nahi lagti.

Cbz will be very good for long term , bajaj still has long road to make engines comparable to honda.

second thing is service : hero honda has better service network than bajaj.

Its not the same Engine!!! Its similar engine tuned for more power.

@Topic
Its honestly hard to choose between them, considering Pulsar is more VFM than Xtreme. But there are things to consider more than VFM in certain aspects. Lookswise I wont comment, But considering overall aspects, I prefer Xtreme.

Mileage: Both are almost the same.

I differ here Riaz. It IS the same engine. The only difference is in the camshafts used. The CBZ-X uses a high camshaft that opens the valves more than the camshaft does in the Unicorn. Other than that, its the exact same engine. Hero Honda is not allowed to use any other engine except that of Honda's.

Cons.
1. According to people, after 1 year, it's body gets fuggly, in hindi we say - dhili dhali.
2. Not as sturdy as any Hero Honda bike (CBZ Xtreme).
3. Maintenance may be higher than that of CBZ Xtreme.

Don't know about others,but all of these are true with my 2yr old 150 UG3 with just 7.5K on the ODO.

Go through this before deciding.

**prateek2210** · 10-30-2009, 09:31 AM

In my opinion go for CBX xTreme....Pulsar is same throughout its all versions(no offence to the owners)...But i think CBZs whole generation is one of the robust segment of bikes in the market

**Shreeni0403** · 10-30-2009, 10:22 AM

When it comes to refinement, handling its Honda all the way. Here CBZ-Xtreme.

If you want looks then go with Pulsar150UG4.

Just out of the box, why don't you give a try to Suzuki GS150, it has looks, refinement, mileage everything you looking for.

**md_farooq** · 10-30-2009, 10:25 AM

Go for the Xtreme. Thats the bike for u. And you have already told that you could not see any Con's in the bike. Has a good engine, good service network throughout India. The new console of the CBZ looks great. Yes, it does not have an digital console like the Pulsar, but it should not matter too much when you are looking for performance.

One Con of the CBZ that i know. The back seat is a little bit high. Even a 6.0" guy will not be able to ground his legs properly and the seat tends to be a little bit slippery. Thats it. But thats for the pillion. Its you who will be riding the bike. Go on and enjoy!!!!

You are right about the slippery seat. I used to face the same issue when sitting behind my friend daily. Now he has got a leather seat cover which has stopped pillion slipping!

Coming back to the topic, I would like to inform the thread starter that there is a new range of Pulsars coming in 2011, whereas the CBZ-X has just been refreshed.
Other points he himself knows such as quality of vehicle&after sales support!

**ravihpa** · 10-30-2009, 11:38 AM

Thanx a lot for all the replies guys. REALLY REALLY appreciate the effort.

Awesome response

I've decided to go for CBZ-Xtreme

It seems to be so much reliable than Pulsar

Thank you so much for all the help
