I am finally getting a 150cc bike.
I have shortlisted Honda Unicorn and Suzuki GS150R. I do not want to look at any other bike or any other make.
Honda Unicorn has been my favorite bike ever since I was in my school. I have always loved it's refined engine. I have always wanted that bike.
I rode the GS150 recently and liked it too.
There are some features that the GS150R has that I really like such as pilot lamps, gear indicator and engine kill switch.
My worry is with Suzuki's service network (I stay in Bangalore) and the bike's engine quality- there is a very irritating rattling from the engine area above 3500rpm and hear a lot of complaints about tank rusting, battery dying etc.
Now one of the reasons that prevent me from buying the Unicorn is my weight. I weigh over 130KGs. Will the Unicorn's mono-suspension and diamond frame cope with my heavy weight? Or is it prone to breakage when added a pillion at the back?

While the Unicorn appeals to my heart, the GS150R appeals to my head. Which is a better bike in terms of reliability and quality? And especially one that will suit me?
I would like to know about Suzuki's service in India too.
Thanks
Regards,
Vignesh Giridharan
