After lots of analysis and considerations and re-considerations about various pros and cons of various options available in the market, I decided to take a bit risky option guided by the excitement that this new bike seemed to promise.
Apart from a couple of things that a conservative buyer will really miss, this new entrant promises the best of both the worlds.
A month or so was spent in (over) analyzing the available options and weighing them each on the scale of freshness, power, reliability, personal taste, practicality and safely etc, it was a tie between the Suzuki GSX 150 R and the new Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler. Dazzler won due to it's fresh looks, aggressive styling, lots of advanced features, lower weight that definitely adds to performance, and age old reliability promised by the Unicorn engine. Not to mention the attention to details and workmanship.
So, assisted by a colleague who was more enthusiastic than me in getting the bike (such gestures only show how closely people relate to each other sometimes) off we went to the show room stealing a few hours from the office (legally!)
Only to find that there was a truckload of new arrivals waiting to be unloaded. After a little coercion, little convincing and some requests, the whole scene turned its attention towards us.
And after a couple of more hours of wait (that seemed longer at the time) I was finally able to start it to actually ride it off!
As of now its the second day and the Dazzler has managed to impress me with every thing it does right from the animation on the HUD when it is first turned on to the effortless sweeping past every odd thing on the road act.
Also got two queries at the traffic stops asking what bike it is? Not a surprise because it is launched just a couple of week ago and mine is first of the first lot! Great value for money isn't it? ;)
Finally, I thank the overseer for finding me worth bestowing this pleasure.
You are invited for a free ride anytime!
Good night
