Hi ALL
I was thinking of a buying a bike for last 2 months...
So done lot of study...analysed all good bikes...and comes to some comparisons...
Why is the Fiero FX better than its other counterparts..????..( CBZ , P150 DTSI )...
I was absolutely not interested in LML\Kinetic bikes ( Graphtor, GF..) as I was not convinced with the LML/Kinetic engines...and makes...
I have consulted with no of bike owners..automobile engrs..and even mechanics also...Ride all above bikes for N no. of times....
Finally I come to the conclusion.....
P-150-DTSI........ rules the road and I mean it really rules...
U can C it on any signal in Pune-Blore-Amdabad....
+ve =>
...Max speed is 120..and that is really gd...
...Gr8 pickup....Market leader...great looks and style...
...gd mileage (around 50)...Gd suspensions...
-ve =>
...Weight (~140)...Power (~143 CC)..that means...bad power to weight ratio....
...Engine probs after 2/3 years..It cranks up on low speed at higher gear...
...Very Bad gear box....False gear probs...No smoothness...
...Not at all comfortable......Poor handling on curves thanx to Heavy weight ,
Low handle bar and Small rotating angle for handle bar....
...bad after sales and service....
So its gd for those who are interested in hight speed..sporty looks..and with above mentioned probs...
CBZ...Overall a Class bike ...
Let me put it this way..this is much superior POWER bike available now if ur pockets are really heavy....I mean it is way head of Pulsar.....on all terms...except ECONOMY....
+ve=>
...Really gd engine..and gr8 power pickup (~157cc)...
...Smooth gear...suspensions...Comfortable..
...gr8 looks...
-ve=>
...Higher costs...
...low mileage..
...and high maintenace... Otherwise very gd bike....I will recomment it for those who r going for pulsars...
Fiero FX...PERFECT BIKE
+ve=>
...Best and refined engine in 150 cc segment...absolutely smooth engine and gearbox...( the sole reason why I brought this bike )...U even can not hear engine..
...Light in weight (~125)....Power(~148)....Very gd power to weight ratio...
...Gd handling and stability on higher speed (100+) On curve..and steeps...
...Gd suspensions...Better mileage (around 55).
-ve =>
....Avarage looks...( Well FX looks are really gd as far as I am concerned but for most of my frds dont like it...)
...Poor sales and service...Poor marketting for this Product
...Lack of 5th gear ...
(Again I would like to mention that Fiero 4th gear it at 39 whereas P-DTSI is at 41...So not much difference in terms of speed. and crusing of highways...)
So we arrived to the best overall bike in 150 CC segment..With best refined engine..smooth gearbox....power....very good handling...gd..mileage...
What else U want it in 150 CC bike...FX has got everything...
So I will recommend it to those who are going for CBZ.. : --- ))} ......
Hence do not go for the Fiero FX if U DO NOT want BEST OVERALL BIKE...
Finally I went for Fiero FX...Disc...with Electric start...on 1 Sept 2004.
Any comments????
