Hi guys,
I wanna purchase new bike. I am 6 ft tall with 80 Kg weight.
I have decided to go for Unicorn 150 cc, but due to this Diwali season its not available till 45 days.
I have to purchase bike within this month.
Will you guys give me your valuable info for other bikes ? i.e.Pulsar 180 or Apache RTR or TVS flame ?

or any other ?

Thanks in advance

I'd say wait for it. Unicorn is a damn good buy.
I'm using one since last March and i never had an issue with it and I get ~47kmpl on Hyderabad roads.

The new Apache RTR is great but won't look good with your height. Try a Pulsar 180.

Day 15 -
Completed 400km milestone with my new unicorn 150cc. Getting a mileage 53-58 kmpl. fits perfectly my height(6") and require no comment on the engine/performance. Perfect.
I thank all digitians who recommended me this awesome bike. :)

66.5 + 1.5k(addons) = 68k. onroad.
Not sure about the price now, my booking was on aug 5th.
I rate unicorn higher bcoz I already done few rides on pulsar 180 and found unicorn to have better seating(high) & comfort and also smoother gear transitions.
