  2. Hi guys, don’t buy pulsar. Now a days engine make is very worst condition. I bought 2014 January. Now heavy noise come from engine. I went to genuine bajaj Service centre. Service engineers said now a days all pulsar engines are worst condition. Then he said i try to stop this noise. Then he changed timing chain and some parts in engine. But till now heavy noise coming from engine. So guys dont buy pulsar. This is bad performance and bajaj have bad service.

  4. Hey pramod i have read you articles that you have written. Pulsars are now outdated I know they used to rule the road but the time moved on. The r15 is whole way in another category. Yeah it has 150cc engine but it fits in high performance bikes and you are talking about mid-performance bikes. And the best bike 150 cc range is suzuki gixxer after that the Honda hornet after Yamaha fz v2.0.

  5. Hi…

    I visited Yamaha and Honda showroom as i was looking to buy a new 150 cc bike.. i took test ride of Honda hornet and FZ version 2 ..

    I liked FZ more in compare to Hornet, as its looks is more attractive.. But it seems that Yamaha FZ ‘s mileage is least as compare to Hornet and Suzuki Gixer.
    still i did’nt visit suzuki showrooom for gixer. Today morning i came to know through your article that gixer is very tough competitor of yamaha and honda..
    Please guide which bike will be more suitable in all aspects.
    Can you please specify the mileage of all 3 bikes i.e. gixer , fz and hornet.

    • Yes, Gixxer is in a good demand. Some readers had recommended me to add gixxer to the list. I haven’t used gixxer, fz ii and hornet, but my friends use it. Gixxxer and fz ii offers mileage within 41 to 44 KMPL. On a smooth road i.e. highway, the mileage may be better. Visit a nearby showroom and take a test drive of Gixxer to know how this bike performs.

  6. Hi Sir my height 6 ft and I want daily office purpose bike so plz advice for bike and I want good mileage and good looking bike suit my personality.

  7. What about TVS Apache Rtr180 ABS ? In a long run will it be good ? Or should I go for Yamaha ? Need guidance urgently. Budget 1 Lac. Looking bikes without split seats and digital console.

  8. Are you serious dude? Either you have never heard of Suzuki Gixxer 150 or you haven’t had a chance to ride one.And that’s why you made such a ridiculous list

  9. I’ve read many comments over internet and I found that your comments are really wise and practical. Thanks for this wonderful analysis of best 150 cc bikes. More information expected about this concern. Thank you.
