Which is the best 150cc bike???

markiv · 27th October 2006, 10:18

In the hotly contested 150cc segment, which bike do you consider as the best? Its your personal opinion of course based on style, price, FE, power, pick-up, maintenance or whatever!!

I vote for Unicorn.........cause I own one :P

pluses: smooth and slick engine/gearbox combo and a relaxed riding position

minuses: no alloys

Mr.Bangalore · 27th October 2006, 12:44

yes i too vote for unicorn... i too own one..
its an honda engine and really smooth and gud FE..

finneyp · 27th October 2006, 14:12

Not driven TVS Apache, so don't know how good it is.....!
For the moment my vote goes to Unicorn, for its butter smooth engine.

john_us350 · 28th October 2006, 16:01

Wonderful thread. I will be watching very closely. I do not have an opinion right now. Will vote a little later.

I vote for Pulsar...as i own one....

it has a good engine with Power/Mileage.....& Good Looks as well
& ofcourse having a very low maintanance....

sanket12 · 28th October 2006, 20:56

of the bikes that i have ridden
for refinement the unicorn
for performance the apache

higautham · 28th October 2006, 23:18

hmmm... Apache -- wonderful handling, good response. dont know abt the maintanance.

fitaa88 · 29th October 2006, 20:29

Without any doubt Unicornz best...as beating Pulsar is no big deal for unicorn.... donno about Apache.... Unicorn ruleezzzz......

Hero-Honda CBZ Xtreme

goldie_malhotra · 29th October 2006, 23:33

Havent driven the achiever or the new CBZ, but of the rest - the Apache simply rocks !!!

markiv · 30th October 2006, 10:10

Apache seems to have many takers, but surprisingly its a rarity to see an Apache still !! ......not that there are too many Unicorns :P

Pulsar 150s is the most popular bike in this segment going by the sales, and it is surprising to see it at 3rd position in the poll at this point!!!

HH Achiever hasnt "achieved" anything yet

venkatesh_t3 · 30th October 2006, 16:51

My vote is for pulsar if you look for a all round bike, had just no problem with my bike till now.
Unicorn is very smooth but the riding position not sporty and even the looks.
