The list-
1.Kawasaki Bajaj Eliminator 175=>King of the chill
India's first true cruiser is also among the fastest and quickest machines money can buy in this country.The engine is surprisingly frugal and will return around 44 kpl in the urban cycle.the engine isn't as unbreakable as it sounds and a little care - a decent warm-up for instance and minimising three-digit runs - will contribute to the bike's long-term health. Lifestyle accessories like leather saddlebags which would be a welcome addition. And can we have some brightly coloured and twin-tone paint jobs too?

5.Hero Honda CBZ 150=>Disc-ussion point
The Hero Honda CBZ, styled like the Honda Hornet, is one good-looking motorcycle.the CBZ's engine needs to be treated with care for lasting performance.

Cost-52, 000
7.TVS Suzuki Fiero 150=>Fiery performer
Awesome! That's the one word that sums up the engine of the Suzuki Fiero.And manages 47 kpl too! the downside is the rearward weight bias which makes for a nervous handler(compounded by thin tyres, although current Fieros are getting better tyres and revised suspensions).The lighting is brilliant, and our long-term Fieros are the most reliable bikes we've had. The optional electric start is effective, though an expensive option.

This is a brilliant TVS-only effort, and an eye-opening ride.
