No...no Enfields....hey suck... too expensive to buy, to maintain, to run. And they sound sad.... they go slower than bloody autos

Anyway, you know or you DONT know how to ride a bike ?? your SMS lingo sucks man ...learn to type in English.

Anyway, if those 3, the Pulsar 150 is the best. It has now been upgraded to 149cc from the earlier 143cc. IT is as fast if not faster than the Apache. It looks great (with the alloys and LED tail lamps), it has digital meters. It is simply a cut above the rest.

But it is a bit more expensive. It is abt 60-62K. For 66-68K you will get the 180. But the 180 will also be more expensive in the long run.

If you can afford it, the Pulsar 150 is the best.

IF you cant, then the Apache.

And yeah, as a general rule, the higher the capacity engine, the less mileage. But since these bikes are all 150, you will get more or less equal mileage.

The SMS thing was aimed at Magnet.

And yeah. the bullets are comfortable. But honestly, I wouldnt advise a bullet to anyone unless they want to use it as a second bike.

AAAH arrey...my keyboard misses spacebar so while checking bak insert key does the rest delete letters..lol.......and ya i meant i dont know to drive bike...but next line it clearly say that since i mentioned bicycle in next line....

Hmmm not the enfields yaar

They r not common and i m a guy who always have problem in stuffs which are not common at all....also cant spend much on maintenance

Ya i know apache looks smaller and thats the only reason i m thinking to get that....as my weight is aroundd 55-56 kg..so might be easy for me to handle.....

Pulser ya my 1 of friend got it for around 62k....but if i spend that much dun u think it will b even better to go for karizma or pulser 200cc ......

Also i have heard hondas maintenance stuff is most expensive of the 3.......and any idea about tvs after saleservice or whtever u guys have heard



aaah after reading this review tilted towards pulser

I dont like Hero Honda...but even I wouldnt say they are expensive to maintain. They are among the cheapest.

The CBZ Xtreme may not give you very good mileage though.

And the point abt Pulsar 200cc is that spending initially may not be a problem. But the mileage will be low. You will have to take that burden every single time you ride the bike. If you dont mind that, then go for it. Dont go for Karizma. It is totally outclassed...

The 180 DTSi beats it. The Pulsar 200 will thrash it even more.

Anyway, I would suggest the 150 if you cas\2n afford the 62K price.

Otherwise, Apache

hmmm now its like between pulser only.....

Lot of review on mouthshut points out that apache having prob with its gearbox......and yup goin for 200cc not worth now..i guess ill go for new 180 pulser i guess now......

But still need another review frm ppl who have tried apache...

Hero honda in sense of maintenance is that parts are expensive to get especially of unicorn..i know they have seperate vfm bikes for which its easy to get......

c'mon man...the xtreme has been tested and gives abt 47km to the litre which aint far off the unicorn , p150 or the apache...

well magnet i'd say u test ride all the 150's before making any decision...here are a few pointers

The xtreme is a bit costlier than the P150 but its the new performance king of the 150's and it is the best handler of the lot (all HH bikes are )

If you want all the features like digital speedo n stuff get the P150...

If you want no nonsense city comfort get the Unicorn...

I really dont know why any1 would get an Apache..its too small and it doesnt have the same performance as the others..

And lastly if u want a bike which is last n last dont look beyond HH...the quality of their bikes is awesome!!
