    I got a chance to test ride both the Hunk and the GS.

    The Hunk:
    Liked: The engine, handling, suspension, pick up and overall refinement, rear disk.
    Didn't like: Dash looks like a video game, no kick start, weird styling.

    The GS:
    Liked: Outstanding refinement. Everything about the bike is excellent. The saddle height is higher compared to others. There is no one single thing that impressed, it is the overall package that is so good. I felt on top of the road, if not the world, riding this bike. Makes you feel like a king. This is the experience the Bullet should provide, in my opinion.
    Dislikes:
    lack of Pickup.

    I L O V E D the GS, though I would suggest you take the Hunk or a Unicorn, simply because the GS has very poor resale value.

      I would recommend GS150R over Hunk in terms of performance.

        It's true GS may have poor re-sale value, but the re-sale value is ruled by public sentiments, over some period GS brand will percolate well and I am sure the re-sale will be on par with the peers.
        Two years back Unicorn had horrible re-sale value, the herd mentality of auto-re-sellers is the reason behind this. Now Unicorn commands good re-sale value. In fact you don't find many sellers in the second hand market.

              first of all buddy please don't write in caps & there is a simple solution to start those bikes which don't have kick so IF(rarely it'll happen) your bike won't start then you can start it by a simple way just by rotating rear wheel hard in 2nd-3rd gear..

              now as per the topic..both bikes are good & you won't go wrong with any of them..if you want to sell your bike then go for Hunk cuz HH has highest resale vavlue & it won't go down even after their split..it also is a better option for city riding cuz comparatively its lighter then GS..

              but if you want to take your ride more on highways then go for GS cuz its extra gear will keep engine less strained on higher speeds..

              engine refinement of both bikes are superb & personally i like looks of Hunk better then GS but that's just subjective..

                  @Avenger88 : At 5'6" I would say both GS nor Hunk would fit you, just test drive these bikes first and see your comfort level. Add CBZ Xtreme & Unicorn to your list and see it's comfort to your height...

                  Service : Hunk
                  Highway cruise : GS
                  City drive : Hunk
                  Mileage : GS
                  Resale : Hunk
                  Quality/Reliability : Hunk
                  Engine : Both are equally good
                  VFM : GS
                  Marks : Hunk 9.5/10 GS 9.55/10
                  For 5'6" : Hunk better than GS

                    • Hunk any day, IMHO GS150 is totally sick man, be it the ride feel or comfort, hunk on the other hand is not exactly a bike i would go for, but it beats GS150 anyday, some people are telling that gs gives slightly better mileage than hunk, im not sure about that part, but if i have to suggest something depending on overall ride feel and quality, its hunk.
