First and foremost of all these reviews have to be taken only as a reference. When you are purchasing a new bike, just test drive and listen to your heart and find out what is the best one.
- Engine and Power:
Hero CBZ Xtreme - 149.9 CC
APACHE RTR - 158.9 CC
HONDA Unicorn - 149.9CC
Bajaj Pulsar - 149.9 CC
and finally Yamaha also of 153CC or so
Now to be frank since APACHE is having 160 CC engine naturally it will be having high engine power compared to others. But as there is power naturally there is no mileage. As petrol prices are increasing like hunger in INDIA, there is small chance of looking for mileage also. For big boys this is not a much, but for normal people, who are looking for 150 cc bike with mileage it is not good as APACHE gives only 40-45 KMPL. Now I have selected CBZ Xtreme, HONDA UNICORN, PULSAR, and Yamaha FAZER
- Engine Maintenance:
All the bikes at the first 1000 to 1500 Kms have to be run under 50 KMPH speed, if you are racing your bike during the first birth of your bike. then you will have troubles with your Mileage as that will come down drastically to 50% the company has given.
I also have got four friends who are using PULSAR 150 and 180 CC but they said that at first the engine was smooth and nice but when 20000 or 30000 kms are covered, then the engine developed a kind of more vibrating noise and bajaj has a history of less time to get to REBORE OF THE ENGINE. So From my list of CBZ, UNICORN, PULSAR and FAZER -- > PULSAR WAS SCRATCHED
- Coming to CBZ UNICORN AND FAZER. Most important factor of all to the Youth as well as other people. THE LOOKS. We are purchasing a top bike so we have to see our thing even looks better.
UNICORN IS THE MOST COMFORTABLE Ride but its looks are rather old and plain. No digital consoles or Tubeless tire or other new things are not there
Coming to FAZER Strictly speaking FAZER is the most nicely looking bike. 100% marks to Fazer for its beauty. But why did I not consider FAZER then, only because of Its PRICE - HYDERABAD 90000-96000 Rupees along with all standard and other fitments. Strictly I couldn't afford that much. so I deleted FAZER and also fazer because of huge body will not give a mileage more than 35-40 KMPL.
Coming to UNICORN and CBZ- because cbz is more sporty , I opted for CBZ xtreme. Mileage is nice around 55-60 KMPL Speed is good. But only disadvantage no Kick rod. But to be frank HOW many YAMAHA FZ, YAMAHA R15 and YAMAHA R1, is having a kick rod. see for yourself, aren't they rnning in the streets. and even Pulsar 220, Hero Karizma ZMR is also not having a kick rod. So there are bikes out there which will run without a kick rod.
Comin to mileage MOst IMPORTANT THING IN INDIA(not for the boys whose wallet is full of paper):
APACHE RTR 160 - 40-45 kmpl
APACHE RTR 180 ABS- 30--40 KMPL
BAJAJ PULSAR 150 - 45 - 50 KMPL
BAJAJ PULSAR 180 - 35-40 KMPL
CBZ Xtreme 150 - 50-55 KMPL
HONDA Unicorn 150 - 50 - 55 KMPL
YAMAHA FAZER - 35-40 KMPL
YAMAHA FZ - 40-45 KMPL
YAMAHA R15 - 30-38 KMPL - MY GOD THIS IS HORRIBLE
YAMAHA R1 - HEY joking right what willl you expect form 1000 cc bike
KARIZMA - 25-30 KMPL
KARIZMA ZMR - 30-34 KMPL
SO guys these are my reviews, From all these things I have opted for Honda Unicorn and Hero CBZ Xtreme. But for Latest things in CBZ Xtreme I have chosen it and I like my bike very much Thank you hero moto corp.
NOTICE: Do not tell that your bike is not giving proper mileage, if you are not following the company instructions. Every mother will give a good baby, but the out side environment, that makes the baby either good or bad. If you give him good food and other things, baby stays good.
Every bike manufacturer tells that during the first 1000 to 1500 kms usage of the bike run the bike not more than 50 to 55 kilometers per hour speed. Donot go more than 50 - 55 speed. This is very important as your bike engine will be adjusting itself to the environment. New bike piston and rings will be having initial wear. If you start racing your bike, then there is no chance that you will get more mileage. You people will not believe, my old bike glamour even got me a mileage of 67KMPL Crossing the companies mileage on HIGHWAY. THIS IS BECAUSE I RAN MY BIKE BELOW 50 during first 1500 KMS RUN.
So guys this is my review. i hope this helps. but finally i am telling you one thing always do what you like. if you like a bike and you can afford it then take it. bike will deliver you the exact thing as the manufacturer promised if you are an efficient rider ( please forgive me if this hurts anybody).
THANK YOU
and I THANK HERO MOTOCORP FOR DELIVERING SUCH AN AMAZING BIKE FOR ME
