pulsar 150 is the one with lowest power( 12.76 bhp) while unicorn is 13.3 bhp,apache 150 is 13.5 bhp

yep the figures are old The P150 is now 13.5 Bhp, apache RTR 160 is 15.4 bhp

Krishnavamsi- if your requirments are still same then the fazer fits the bill i.e. day to day city riding, a few points about the fazer

- It has everything exactly same as FZ16 except for the fairing
- Only one light out of the two headlights work at a time i.e. one for low beam & other for high beam

Did you try out the P220 DTSi? its cheaper than fazer

I test rode the Suzuki GS-150R a couple of days back. Bike is heavy but excellent to ride. Very good pick-up in city traffic, six gears but effortless to shift. A very good feature is the economy/power mode selection before we start the ride. Economy mode limits the tacho to about 4500 RPM and flashes a warning when we cross it. In power mode goes all the way to 8500 RPM. Has an analog tacho and digital speedo/odo/gear indicator. Rs 67700 OTR in Chennai. Reportedly gives around 50 - 55 KMPL. The sales guy said it can cruise comfortably at 100 - 110 on the highway.

I was very impressed, I must say.

@technocrat
for pulsar 150 I gave the torque figure(12.76) instead of the power.sorry for the mistake.As
Technocrat has said the 220 has become cheaper and it is a very good choice. If I were to upgrade from my unicorn, I would go for the 220.
