take a good look at TVS flame .....

also unicorn has much refined engine than pulsar..i own a DTSi 180 CC..its gud..but economy and rorty engine are its cons...

so first decide upto how much cc u wanna take 125 or 150 or 180 then we will suggest u

Bajaj Exceed motorcycles may offer high fuel efficiency, expected price is Rs 42,000 ex-factory. The 125 cc Bajaj Exceed bikes will probably cost a bit more than 50,000/- on the road, and offer fuel efficiency up to 109 kmpl.

DTS-Si(Digitial Twin Spark Swril Induction Engine)
125CC
109 KMPL
Maximum Net Power-9.53 PS @ 7000 RPM
Maximum Net Torque-10.85Nm @ 5000 RPM
1275 mm Wheel base
2.75 X 17" Front Tyre
3.00 X 17" Rear Tyre


Front Registration Number Plate Patented

* A new concept in which instead of a rigidly fixed number plate, a flexible mechanism has been created
* The number plate swings to and fro through a link mechanism thereby generating additional clearance for the fairing assembly
* This enables the bike to have a lower tha conventional front fairing which adds to a the aggressive , crouching stance of the bike

IMO go for this as is looks are latest so can can flaunt ur bike taking anyother bike will be "oh you got xxxx, i also have"
but for this "oh whoa you got exceed, can i have test ride plea se?, does xceed really does 109kmpl?

I bought a Bajaj Avenger in December 2005, and its going great. No problems till date. Comfortable. Mileage 40 kmpl in city (Mangalore). It has a DTSI engine, front disc. Stable even at speeds of 100 kmph

Minus - No engine kill switch on the handle bar and ignition key in an awkward position
- No gas shocks like Pulsar
