New · 27-02-2008, 10:52 AM

Pulsar

lywyre · 27-02-2008, 11:00 AM

Unicorn loses in looks, but matches in performance and wins in comfort (vs. Pulsar).

krazzy · 27-02-2008, 11:00 AM

Pulsar 150 DTS-i or the new HH Hunk.

mikeon · 27-02-2008, 12:50 PM

I would say the RTR... best performance and features of the lot...

esumitkumar · 27-02-2008, 02:22 PM

try RTR if u have short height ..overall i think unicorn
(i have pulsar 180 ..but after 1 yr ..engine is so bhrrrrrrrrr ...bhrrrrrrrrrrrr)

gowtham · 27-02-2008, 02:51 PM

Hey unless u want a bike right NOW, i advise u strongly to wait for some more time. yamaha is releasing a new 150cc bike thatll kick any india bike for a loooong time to come. check out the pic--

i have unicorn and i had not a single problem with it.
great bike very smooth.

Pathik · 27-02-2008, 06:39 PM

Honda Unicorn, HH Hunk, if you are short then Apache RTR 160

dOm1naTOr · 27-02-2008, 06:50 PM

@gowtham

wow,,,cant believe its under 70k
it totally beats everything in market rite now in looks
reminds me of old R1.

gowtham · 28-02-2008, 03:56 PM

^^ 70k is expected ex-showroom price, so be prepared to shill out extra. but probably itll be max 90k on roda. nothin more.

And, u owned a R1 once? man thats way tooooooooooo cool!! i am dreaming of owning it one day(maybe 8yrs from now!!!). anyways tell me more about the bike. which yr did u get it? y did u sell it??

a_k_s_h_a_y · 28-02-2008, 04:59 PM

Go for Pulsar 150

coz Apache RTR yellow is very cool .. and now not all should have cool stuff

zyberboy · 28-02-2008, 05:43 PM

pulsar 150: if u want looks,mileage,performance,but vry common nowadays

unicorn: smooth at 60-80km,stable
but not vry good looking

RTR160:best pickup
but small bike with less wheelbase

dOm1naTOr · 28-02-2008, 07:15 PM

@gowtham
u got me wrong
me too was mentioning bout my gud old dream R1. Now its M1 [new dream]

chicha · 28-02-2008, 08:31 PM

^oftopic what is M1?

dOm1naTOr · 28-02-2008, 08:45 PM

valentino's new fav after R1.
Just google for yamaha R1 and M1.

gowtham · 29-02-2008, 09:03 AM

hehe. ok. but the r1 is still my fav!

eureca_eureca · 29-02-2008, 09:15 PM

Smoothest is Unicorn , Very stable too , u must have noticed even the pulsar and Apache learned from the unicorn's length for stability

Both Pulsar apache copied this

apache and pulsar can be good looking , but on the long run uni is outstanding

tarey_g · 29-02-2008, 10:12 PM

My frn wanted a new bike, since we all friends have pulsar's, i was strongly against one more similar bike in the group. So I tried every bike in this section and believe me i had to suggest him the new pulsar 150 at last,damn

.

Faun · 29-02-2008, 10:18 PM

pulsar 150, its the paragon in 150cc section

u kidding, thats an overkill bodyshape for 150cc bike

s18000rpm · 29-02-2008, 10:31 PM

dude, YZF-R15 (150cc), its got 4 valves, fuel Injection, liquid cooling, close ratio gear box, delta box frame, monoshock rear, front & rear disk brakes, full fairing.

& you say its goin to be max 90k

i say min. 1.5lakh

maybe the FZ 150 falls under 1 lakh price tag.

remember RD-350?
was it cheap? nope, but it sold for its performance.

& there's a total of FOUR bikes that Yamaha will launch this year.

two 150cc bikes-(18+bhp)
R15
FZ150

two 125cc (11bhp) bikes
Gladiator type SS
Gladiator type RS

the pulsar 220 sells at 93k, noway the r15 will be in same price range.

ajayashish · 01-03-2008, 11:24 AM

Why are u not considering HH CBZ Extreme... it has been 1 yr old bike for me... but i still love to ride it as i used to do it 1 yr back... it is a awesome smooth bike with great pickup

tarey_g · 02-03-2008, 12:29 PM

CBZ extreme i drove , great dissappointment . + Shifting gear sucks in that bike.

NucleusKore · 02-03-2008, 12:55 PM
