I brought Suzuki Zeus with Disc brakes 2 days back for Rs. 45, 700(Hyderabad) after reviewing all the bikes for several months. My Initial opinion was to buy Honda Unicorn but dropped that as Zeus is giving similar ride comfort with extra mileage and a Very Competitive Price.
Price: Rs. 40, 186
Rs. 45, 700(On road -Hyderabad; with all the discounts, free insurance, accessories like helmet lock, buzzer etc)
Riding Comfort, Handling, Braking, Pickup: Excellent
Initial Mileage: 74 KMPL(IndianOil Premium)
I will be posting the Mileage details after every service.
Overall this is a "Very Good package " atleast in the 125cc Category. I would HIGHLY recommend this bike if anyone want a suggestion. This is a PERFECT bike for commuting in Indian Conditions with Great Mileage and Comfortable riding Position. Now I almost feel like the Distance between my office and home have reduced.(its 50Kms both sides.)
The engine is very smooth with low noise. I am impressed with headlamp and its focus.
I used my friends Pulsar 150 many times, I felt the same kind of perfomance with Suzuki Zeus minus some pickup; the bike can drag a single user from 20Kmph in 5th Gear without engine knocking, The other feature is Suzuki Zeus/Heat can be started in any Gear by holding the Clutch.
Many people are worried about Suzuki Zeus looks, to be frank my red Suzuki Zeus looks better than Pulsar 150(Beauty lies in the Eyes of the Beholder; but Performance only SUZUKI can deliver this much; because they are the makers of GSX 1300;-)).
Most people are ready to pay the Extra buck for a "Hero Honda" tag name expecting more after sale value, but the fact is all old bikes are valued on the basis of Year of manufacture, maybe HH products will fetch 1000 bucks more due to the Brand acceptance. But it dosent make sense investing more initially for the sake for a bit more after sale value.
Suzuki was here to stay and may be launcing "other 2-wheeler segments" in few more months(In September from Insider News).
Now all the new Suzuki Zeus bikes in India will be coming with an Electric Start(sale will start in 1 or 2 weeks in Hyderabad)
Prices(OnRoad Hyderabad)
Electric Start Rs. 49, 000(Approx)
Electric Start+Alloy Wheels Rs. 51, 000(Approx)
Electric Start+Alloy Wheels+ Disk Brakes Rs. 53, 000(Approx)

Now here are the Final Stastics after doing 3000Kms in 2 months.
Mileage is a Solid 67-68 KMPL when riding at 50-55KMPH.
When over-revving & racing its again cool **60+ KMPL
Handling, Braking & Performance: Don’t ever again ask me about that, cause I have lots of stories to Write forever & ever.
Simply speaking, this Bike is GREAT.
I missed accidents many times because of those stupid HeroH motorbike & other shitty bikers & corporate bus drivers, Thanks to Zeus even at Great speeds the bike is VERY Stable, & braking 60-0KMPH just like that, pickup 0-60 KMPH just like that.
The 3-Inch rear & 2.75 front MRF Nylon Zapper, is well researched addition to the bike, the brakes are Life-Savers, the shock-absorbers Just-Perfect, which is bringing Great Stability to the bike.
Overall, this is the best Bike.
If you want other options & can compromise on mileage, then check-in Yamaha Gladiator or New Unicorn Sports.
Before leaving, some useful tips.
Always Follow Traffic Rules, Wear Helmet, Don’t Use Hand Signals(but Use Indicators)
Always use IndianOil Premium or Super Shell(if available) for Suzuki Zeus/Heat.
