Hi Friends! This is my second review here after the first one on TVS Fiero. Here I cover analysis over 5 bikes which are best according to me, on the Indian Roads! I keep 150 cc bikes as the standard bike level for Indian Roads One the basis of the five most important parameters these ratings are being done:


Important 1) Engine Important 2) Mileage Important 3) Safety Important 4) Pricing Important 5) Look and Durability. Before all...almost all the bikes beyond 150 cc are near to the worst according to my experience. Indian Roads don't need them. It's sheer wastage of Money and you can directly look for sports and racing bikes.


LIST OF BEST BIKES -----------------------------------------


((A)) Beyond 150 cc ..........


Best..1) Royal Enfield: Take out any breed of this species almost blindly, you will relish. Except Bullet 350 cc all are best. Bullet 350 cc is unchanged old model and oil leakage, Battery leakage, rusty kick, etc may cause knee damage in future. Also the vibration of it's engine is not medically good for you. Otherwise Enfield is really Royal's Roy at very reasonable price power & endurance. Yes you can't get into any quick and juggler kind of doings. No need of service stations. Every mechanic loves to service this bike.Best.. Best..


2) Kawasaki Bajaj Eliminator: A good cruiser bike. In fact Indian roads don't need bikes having cc more than 150 cc. In this segment Eliminator scores better than rest because of it's built, light body and excellent Pick Up which may steal thunder from thunderbird sometimes! Very low maintenance cost, power stil secured biking can be achived on Indian roads with this bike. Otherwise it's foolishness to have beyond 150 cc bikes for Indian roads( if you are from Middle class and has not any wish to travel around the world on the bike). Yes Enfield obeys no law!


((B)) Within 150 cc segment:


Best..1) Honda Unicorn . This bike needs more careful reviews though. Since on the average this bike is still fresh on roads and has not completed it's complete servicing period, I suggest every one to have patience and hold their final decisions as these three servicings show different looks of bikes. Honda Unicorn has to be waited. Best point is it's safety level with mileage and pricing. Upto the 1st servicing age, this bike looks better than the bikes with same age.


Best..2) TVS Suzuki Fiero: Though In my previous analysis I had not recommended this bike..then why I am recommending this one ? This bike is Master's bike. My previous review was upto the second servicing and I had hold the verdict for the engine. With the final and last servicing this bike shows the attitude of a real bike. Best point is Engine. And an Engine is the soul of the bike no matter what the look is. The engine quality shadows it's most of the weak points. Worst part is it's body quality. It's body is very fragile. Mileage is about 50 Kms/ltr( while company claims higher). Also TVS should do something to recruit proper service stations and it's workers. They are dishonest and Incumbent. Be careful at service stations specially for Delhites.


((C))Below 150 cc segment:


Best..1) Hero Honda Splendor: No bike to this date even of 125 cc range has the capacity to replace Splendor. Hero honda houses many bikes and all bike has got some big flaws in themselves except Splendour. You can call a spledor....A Complete Money Return Bike. Hero Honda services are very good and you should not feel being fooled by it's workers like done in TVS stations.


Best..2) Bajaj Caliber: Very Good Bike is this one indeed. Older caliber models are much better though. This bike is very less demanding and displayes best power in it's range. Like splendor this bike has no match upto 125 cc segment. You can easily handle it in rough situations and rugged conditions. Mileage is ok. Starting has problems during cold days. Balance is very good and road safty is of top class even without dis brakes. You don't need to carry this bike to bajaj service stations. Like TVS ...Bajaj too is poor in looking after your bike once it sells it out of it's showroom. You can get problem at very few parts: Chains and Gearbox..that too in very late period and after very rough use.


LIST OF WORST BIKES: ---------------------------------


Worst..1) Crux: Please don't purchase it. Better purchase Boxer, Ambition or Splendor.


Worst .2) LML bikes: If this bike looses the market, it's only due to itself. Safetywise it's he worst bike though it has got thicker tyres, it's whole body shape is very wrong and prone to accidents. Secondly it's body is not correct kind of. Any single brak or crack may develop in future for complete replacement! Mileage also not at the par. These bikes are really cheap class.


Worst 3 & 4) TVS centra and Kinetic Velocity: Will you purchase a bike whose engine is destined to die soon?


Worst..5) Pulsar : Why doesn't any true reviwer criticises this over used bike? I am amazed! Pulsar is the best case of hyped marketting and brainless consumerism. Pulsar engines are not durable at allll !!!!! This bike is very unscientifically designed and very shrewdly designed. Centered for only look maniac users who have no knowledge of the engine.


Pulsar is the most overrated bike on the indian r0ad though it deserves to be among the worst bikes. How body sells is all about pulsar success. Even in terms of mileage and safety pulsar is not good. 80% pulsar user whom I have met, have met accidents on road. Amazingly this bike looses it's balance and left side fall is noticed which is very dangerous. In no way this bike is safe at high speed. The top speed goes upto 120 kms/hrs.


You know how much it's engine is burdoned. Better powered bikes like LML 150cc with 13.7 BHP and Unicorn and Fieros don't claim the speed officialy above 100 kms then why this Bike? Pulsar engines have improportionate distribution of power v/s speed and weight!!!


Worst..6) Hero Honda Karizma: I dont' want to say any thing about this bike. You may understand the reason. Yeah if you are mentally unsound you should purchase this one or if dad has got some black money. Better bikes are Comet, Eliminater and Enfield then why one should look for this prince who can't wrestle war of his stature. Absolutely Enfield kills all it's rivals above 150 cc in every parameter of the spectrum!
