Best 150cc bike in India - Speed and Mileage combination


The Indian bikes are mainly concentrated on Mileage bikes because of the ever increasing fuel price. Only the bikes with good mileage gets success in the Market.

With the Mileage on the other side, the Indian current youth generation concentrate more on the speed. This era created after the Pulsar created a demand for high speed bikes in India and this thirst was not yet satisfied completely.

That is why, I too wanted to compare the mileage and speed of the bikes to know which bike is better, in terms of the better combination of the both.

The First rank for the best mileage goes to Bajaj Pulsar. Pulsar provides a best ever mileage of 62Kmpl, under optimum speed of 55Kmph to 65Kmph and the worst case was 55Kmpl, under speed conditions of above 85Kmph. Pulsar 150 also provides the Top Speed of 115Kmph which get the Fourth Rank for Top Speed.

The Second Rank for the Best mileage will be shared by Honda Unicorn and Suzuki GS150R.

Unicorn provides better mileage as good as pulsar giving 60Kmpl under Optimum speed of 55Kmph to 65Kmph and the worst case for the speed conditions of above 85Kmph was 53Kmpl. Unicorn failed to stand in the Top speed with just Top Speed of 105Kmph stands behind the other 150cc bikes.

Suzuki GS150R provides the same mileage as Unicorn but not constant all the times. The bikes mileage differs even on the slight changes in the rpm of the bike. But the mileage of 59-60Kmpl can be achieved at the Optimum speed of 60Kmph to 70Kmph because of its 6th Gear. Also the Mileage is more than 50Kmpl even at speeds more than 95Kmph. The GS150R lies in a safer position with 120Kmph - second highest speed in 150cc bikes. But i have done 123Kmph with it (not sure about speedometer errors).

The Third Rank for the Best mileage goes to Apace RTR 160 providing a better mileage of 48Kmpl at Optimum speed of 50Kmph to 60Kmph. the worst case is 38Kmpl for the speed conditions of above 75Kmph. The top speed is the most satisfactory and Apache does 120Kmph as the top speed.

The Fourth Rank was occupied by the CBZ Xtreme with an average mileage of 46Kmpl at optimum speed between 55Kmph to 70Kmph(most probably 65Kmph). The Bike does a top speed of 110Kmph. The weight and Height is the negative factor that affect the bike's mileage. The worst case mileage is not too bad with the bike providing 42kmpl fir the speed conditions above 85Kmph.

The Last but not the least, the Fifth position was occupied by the Yamaha FZ-S with an average mileage of 43Kmpl at optimum speed between 50Kmph to 60Kmph. The worst case for the mileage is too bad such that it can provide just 35Kmpl at speed conditions of above 80Kmph. The Top Speed of the bike is ultimate and it does 125Kmph actually but company says 132Kmph( lies!!!), which is occupying the first position.

So the Best Speed and Mileage Award goes to:
  1. Suzuki GS150R - 59Kmpl - 120Kmph
  2. Bajaj Pulsar - 62Kmpl - 113Kmph
  3. Apache RTR160 - 48Kmpl - 120Kmph
  4. Honda Unicorn - 60Kmpl - 105Kmph
  5. Yamaha FZ-S - 43Kmpl - 125Kmph
  6. Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme - 46Kmpl - 110Kmph
Cheers!!!

assholes,
i've been a owner of bloody PULSAR, it gives a millage of about 30kmpl at 60-80
I've also driven gs150r, bike is jst great, zero vibrations(best point of dis byk), good milage of around 55kmpl at 55-65kmh, less maintainance compared to PULSAR, APACHE, and also yamaha,

now forget everything and lets talk about real deal i.e. CB Unicorn Dazler(i'm owning right nw) its simply awesome (i'm neglctin the looks here)
Superb milage about 60kmpl at 55-65kmh(vry close to the company promise) but sucks wid a milage of 45kmpl at high speeds like 80-90kmh, engine is really vry smooth, i cn bet no othr byk is havin dat mch, vibrations are less(not less than gs150r), vry low maintainance.(best in its clss) no other bike is having such a low maintainance,
Superb breaking, handling,
body ballance, you cn totally rely on it, buy dis byk nd enjoy the quality, confort,
dazler is simply an Awesome byk yr
Jst honda needs to work out on its looks,
Everything else in dis byk is perfc.
And 1 more thing, widout ny speedometer errors its top speed is 120 kmh
2nd Fastest 150 cc byk(except r15)
APACHE nd fzs are 160cc

My opinion is

DAZLER IS FIRST(neglctin looks, less service centres hv to buk almst 3-4 days b4, low availability of spare parts, always out of stock,
jst neglect the above things den it becomes top in everything else, awesome for racing,awesome for normal rides, awesome in cruzing and all,
Great power, quality, accelaration, speed, milage,smothness,confort, safety,

pros-mono suspension, great body ballance, tubeless tyres, rear disk,vry vry vry low maintainance, vry vry vry gud milage, top speed and accelaration, ENGINE SMOTHNESS

cons-poor service nd luks)
Gs150r is second
(neglecting looks,6th gear is a gud plus point in it, nd low vibrations )
Fazer is third
(awesome for racing nd Stunts, great body ballance nd looks)
Cbz is 4th(new 2011 model wid rear disk brake, all roundr, service is gud)
AND PULSAR SUCKS
I've not considered r15 in dis cz its an high end byk

abilashvk123 said...

Used most of these bikes.Marks goes to GS150R & Dazzler. More lenient to GS,as its a long distance tool& no vibrations & higher Kerb wgt, but slight lesser in mileage

Dear Friends,

Sorry for the typo-errors in the post. Thank you for the advice. You advice are always welcome!

Kindly note that I am a bike enthusiast for a period of 6 years. Over the six years i have at least spent more than 3000hours of analyzing new bikes once they are launched.

I have almost ridden (test ride :) ) all the bikes except very few in the market.

Kindly note that the mileage part given in the post is under specific condition since the best mileage of the bike has to be determined which would be exactly the point where in your output power is at low and torque is optimum. For most of the 150cc bikes it lies some where near 3500rpm (+/- 300rpms) where in you will feel the smoothness of the bike as well as the real economic behavior of the bike.

It is very true that Unicorn, Pulsar and GS150R are the leader in mileage. (provided your riding skills matters!)

Need your continued support.

Cheers!!!

Hi, For me Discover 150 is the best 150cc Bike as it is very affordable, gr8 pickup ( I did 0-60kph in 7 Secs) and also it looks good. Good mileage too at 59 KPH. It is also not heavy to handle!!! Discover 150 DTS-i is really great!!!

ankur verma said...

i also have pulsar-150 really awesome bike with great style having great mileage of 55kmpl
