Which of these 150s is a better bet?
Bajaj Discover 150
1. The 144.8cc,
12.8 bhp, four-stroke motor is exceptionally frugal. Not the most
exciting of the bunch in the performance aspect though.
2. The ride quality of the Discover 150 is more than just adequate, soaking up the bumps and potholes with stuning alacrity.
3. The build quality of the Discover gives away the fact that this motorcycle is built to a price.
4. Styling comes off as quite dated
5. The Discover 150 could be a much better handler than it is, had it been shod with grippier tyres.
6. Price, ex-showroom, Mumbai - Rs 50,456 .
Yamaha SZR
1. Although this motor displaces 153cc, it
produces only 11.9 horses - the result of a retune of the FZ engine for
better fuel consumption for the commuter segment.
2. Ride quality is at par with the Discover but the Bajaj feels lighter and more nimble than the Yamaha.
3. Build quality has never been an issue
with Yamahas and this one is no exception, although certain bits could
have been better.
4. Although the styling is not exactly
conservative, the SZR is pleasing to the eye. But it's about time the
trend of those hideous plastic tank extentions comes to an end. And now!
5. The tyres of the SZ R are adequate and do the job. Push them hard and they'll give up, though.
6. Price, ex-showroom, Mumbai - Rs 58,663
Bajaj Discover 150cc is powered by fuel efficient, powerful DTS-i engine and available in India at very attractive price. It gives decent performance on the road. It has awesome features as like sporty image and style quotient.
