Throwing in the Suzuki GS150R and Yamaha SZ-R

Suzuki GS150R

(+) A sixth gear for long drives
(+) Digital Console with Gear indicator !
(-) Average pickup and looks like a slightly big Unicorn

Yamaha SZ-R
Affordable 150cc bike with overall decent looks and performance.
Nothing stands out that is a big + or -

Pulsar 150/180:

Yamaha FZ16 or FZS: Seriously not for Long trips.
(+) Sporty Looks & Raw Performance.

Suzuki GS150R

I have to disagree on that part.. My bro has this bike, beats a P180 handily.. (tested)

After all every bike's performance depends on the way u treat them during their break-in period..

For FZ16, FZS & Apache RTR
(+) Can lean all the way you want.(with Pillion rider)

Do not go for FZ, my friend pays 1500 for each service, parts are very expensive. Pulsar is good and low maintenance, but sucks quality. Unicorn is smooth with outstanding quality engine fit and finish.
