Analysis on Powerful Indian Scooters

dont be too excited! its going to be about scooters between 80cc to 125cc

Will be updated soon...

Tata Nano - Not like the rest, to be honest best too...

Tata Nano - world's familiar car name for being the cheapest car in the world. The Euro ncap rating of 4 has added up overwhelming expectations too...

( it is to be noted that i10, swift also have rating of 4 and alto has just 3 in a scale of 5 for Euro ncap)

The Tata Nano carries a engine which is as small as that of a share auto in cities. it is just .2 litres smaller than Alto. so its right to compare it with the Alto.

Alto is a small car however Nano is a well built share auto says many. but its not so. Tata is very careful in building the car too but due to the cost efficiency limitation they cant build a better car rather than this.

it is also to be noted that alto has better length then nano however the width and height makes us to feel alto a cramped one.

also it is not worthy to compare alto with nano. so lets compare it with the premium commuter motorcycles say honda cbr250r, huh! that means stupid but should think of cbr250r with 5 seats and having a roof. cool hun! ( just for fun)

the real comparitive vehicle for nano is a 3 wheeler auto rickshaw which costs more than 1.5lacs same to nano. so what? nano gives you better deal for loans too!

The 35bhp and 48nm torque makes the car the best companion for beginners in indian city traffic, alto has 46bhp and 62nm torque.

My suggestion is Tata Nano is not the one which has to be neglected instead a masterpiece of technology at its best. Rather than criticising it stand in the neutral part and evaluate the car you will understand.

Hats off!!! TATA...

150cc - Handling - Comfort Comparison

Handling refers to the fact how easy the bike is to ride in traffic, cormering or to do twists on the roads.

Comfort is determined by the riding position comfort which doesnot pain you even after a long ride.

Apache and pulsar are the most vibrating and hence they are not surely comfortful, but they both make the best in handling, particularly pulsar gives you extremely good handling even at excellent speeds.

The true comfort is best in GS150R where you'll even doubt whether the engine is running or not. the broad handle gives you irritation as far as handling is considered.

Honestly speaking Dazzler comes as Jack of all trades but winner of none, usually we refer pulsar like this, blend of handling and comfort comes together in Dazzler and Hunk.

So Dazzler and Hunk holds good for comfort and Pulsar and Apache for handling.

Cheers!!!

150cc - Mileage - Pickup comparison

Pickup can be measured by the time taken by the bike to reach the average speed(of indian bikes) which is 60kmph.

Mileage can be determined by the torque of the engine, as early the maximum torque is achieved mileage will be better. Here early refers to the rpm of the bike engine rotor.

The leader in the torque will be FZ series but am sorry the broader tyres flops the pickup of the bike which again degrades the mileage as well. Mileage was recorded at 42kmpl as the best.

So the follower GS150R Leads it with excellent combination of torque, mileage and pickup.

The best pickup provided by Apache RTR160 which reaches 60kmph in just 5secs, followed by Pulsar and Hunk. Then GS150R, Dazzler and finally FZ series enters.

Am again wondering the FZ series which has best torque and optimum output power compared to rivalries has lost the game in speed and pickup too.

Its sure that SZ-X has taken all the goodies which we expect from FZ on the mileage side and R15 on performance side. However they both dont belong to the segment which is not covered by us in this post.

Following GS150R, PULSAR gains the advantage of mileage even when the torque is lesser compared to other competitors followed by Dazzler and Hunk.

CHEERS!!!

150cc - POWER & WEIGHT Comparison

Considering power and weight together is for the reason determining the pulling power of the bike. (note: this is not exactly about power-weight ratio)

The leader for this comparison was apache with output power of 15.4bhp @ 8500rpm and weight of 136kgs. The least weighed and most powerful engine makes it the leader. Closely followed by pulsar150 (2010) with 15.06bhp @ 9000rpm and weighing just 137kgs.

The third position for CB Dazzler, followed by HH Hunk, Fazer and GS150R.

GS150R is the least powered bike and hence comes the last not only engine power but also the weight of the bike which makes is far behind its predecessor FZ-Series.

It is to be noted that as the output power increases, the mileage will be decreased as they are inversely proportional.

BUT AM WONDERING WHY FZ SERIES GIVES POOR MILEAGE?

Cheers!!!

Which bike to buy - 150cc in current scenario

3. Handling - Comfort comparison.

The bikes which are going to be considered are
1. HeroHonda Hunk
2. Honda CB Dazzler
3. BAJAJ Pulsar
4. Yamaha FZ series
