I want to buy a bike in 150 cc segment but I am very much confused which one to buy?
Buy Pulsar 150 or Unicorn or Apache ?
Unicorn is refined and I heard that has better gearbox. I need a bike better performance and lower running cost ?
Which on I buy ? Unicorn ?

We can classify the bikes based on their overall performance , Fuel efficiency, Build quality, Life of bike ( Resale Value ) .
Comparison of Pulsar with Unicorn with the above mentioned terms: The winner is Unicorn
Comparison of Apache with Unicorn with the above mentioned terms: The winner is Unicorn
So selecting one bike from these 3 is a simple task. Unicorn is the best choice.
Few problems with the Pulsar are: Engine gear problems, Skidding , problem with the swift turn in corners, Low build quality, Less resale value, Lot of maintenence needed.
Apache on the other hand also has many problems like Braking and few more.
So the SIMPLE answer to your question : UNICORN
Actually I was too thinking for Unicorn but if I see from point of market status my other mind force me to buy pulsar.
I think look wise Unicorn is missing the appealing looks.
Do you think Unicorn has good resale value ?
eTI Iron
You can go a local mechanic and ask for the resale values,
Oh man
its getting hard
All I just don't want to regret myself after getting the bike in hand
u see it can not be done again again.
Ok I will go tomorrow and will try to evaluate resale value of all three.
eTI Iron
Ok

Thankyou Ashok for giving me value here.
Logically Unicorn is best in term of technicals. But unicorn is having dated looks. On the other hand, I find Apache too small to ride upon. Unicorn isn't my choice here because they have not modified since its launch apart of same out changes in colours and stickers and now Alloy wheels in Sportz version.
A guy I know is having Unicorn from long, seriously its not the bike which can distinguish apart from crowd .
My vote goes to Pulsar because of its resale value, its refinement and fresh looks & market image with macho looks.
Unicorn is just having far less resale value then Pulsar as well as it gives you feeling of 100cc bike via its size and looks.
Apache , as I mentioned in one post earlier is just a bike where TVS tried to adopt all good from various bikes in market. Not really first choice.

Pulsar is not worth.

Ya, I never said that pulsar is better than Unicorn in terms of technicals.. but I prefer pulsar
eTI Iron
he asked a with bike better performance and lower running cost
Also i think honda must change the style of Unicorn a little more stylish to increase or beat pulsar infact. That little old look is the prob. Other than it is a good one.
May be thats why they dnt want to change anyting in that bike as they feel it may affect someting in technical
eTI Silver
NO..
I think they feel that Indian can do in this . They are not upgraded type of person so this old design can do here!
eTI Iron
But just a slight modification in style or design can drastically increase the sales also. So there must be someting behind that.
Just in!
OH come on Rick
Pulsars r not that bad...
I think Unicorn have jst 1 adventage over them and that is the mono shock absorvers
and rest of alll goes to Pulsar
And they are also constantly upgraded...
So I think go for Pulsar or wait for another bike to be launched in this section or another upgrade from bajaj.....
