Hello everyone interested in buying the Honda Dazzler 150. I got this bike on the 26th of May. It has already done the first service. Currently I have done about 1100 kms. The bike is a lot lighter than the CB Unicorn and hence much better maneuverability. The mileage has been pretty good so far, about 50-55 in very crowded conditions.
Amazing performance over long distances and I mean really long. I have traveled about 90 kms at a stretch on the Pulsar 150 and believe me, it was the worst drive of my life. The bike was tuned to 6000 rpm (dazzler is tuned to 4000) so crazy mileages and more importantly my back started aching after the drive. Where as I traveled on my Honda Dazzler for about 300 kms on the same day the back was perfect. Contrary to reports my bike doesn’t make sound even at 80km/hour!
One lil problem I have faced is putting the bike in neutral gear. It doesn’t slip into neutral very easily and hence time taken in switching of the engine. It seems to be having an intelligence of its own! At some times it is easy and other times takes a long long time! Tried rectifying it in the first service but not much improvement! This is going to a useful in city driving conditions.
Another complaint that I have, atleast so far the accessories have not yet been released and hence you cant carry anything on the bike not even a piece of paper. there is no storage space at all. But the interesting thing is that it has its own tool kit neatly tucked away under the seat. I guess a first for bikes?
It looks really sexy! I guess after the FZ this is best looking bike around! Everybody has given the bike a second look and the rider a third!
Over all I am very very satisfied with my purchase of Unicorn Dazzler 150. Though I have completed 1000 kms, the mechanic asked me to chill out a bit till 3K-5K kms because after that the engine then starts really kicking ass after that! He said it would easily last 50,000 kms if taken care of in the first 3k-5k kms.

uhhh…even Bajaj Pulsar has toolkit under seat.. I dont know about other bikes..
–
I think the neutral problem will get resolved after 2nd or 3rd service..
–
4-5K rpm will give best mileage in top gear..
–
only thing you missed about was brakes.. and headlight power etc..
descent review though bit short.about the toolkit,i won CB twister and it also came with took kit and first aid kit placed under seat storage space.infect it also has a hemet lock under seat but i have not been able to figure out how to put helmet and lock the seat.
people cant differentiate the dazzler with the twister..Its looks pathetic.And in no way it looks better than the fz. Whats more its only 14 bhp only 0.5 more than the unicorn..Honda has just lost it..
bad review….nvr hrd sme talk so bad abt a pulsar b4
i talk bad abut pulsar dude….pulsar has totally lost it in Indian market as in 150 cc segment fz and dazzler rules…….
What I dont understand is why the Dazzler looks so flat at the head lights section and so uninspiring at the tail.
Dazzler bike looks pathetic when compared with fz or pulsar.
DAzzler has more power with more fuel efficient than pulsar……pick up of dazzler kickz out pulsar in no time….if u dont believe me than test it for ur self…!!
I used to ride on pulsar for long drives more than 200kms. I never had a problem with my back! It got good riding position. But as far as my experiance with my p150, it is neither smooth and refined nor reliable as a unicorn.
suzuki gs150r is far better than unicorn and pulser ,and it is very gud for long drive also….pulsars are not durable…
“He said it would easily last 50,000 kms if taken care of in the first 3k-5k kms”
My pulsar 150 has done 67k till date (taken care for first 2k), and ur talking abt 50k on honda(smooth engines) tat too with with proper runin till 5k, i am sure it will last for atleast 1Lakh km,before the cylinder block replacement. who knows may be even more
Congrats on your ride! Rock on
Dazzler is just a great bike…..may it doesnt steal looks as such but its an excellent performer….u ll start liking d looks too as time passes…
Actually how do u switch to neutral easily….if anyone have got d bike plz reply bout it…
I’ve got yamaha rx100 which is a legend and now too,d neutral is no problm as in dazzler too it rqres cotrolled toe stress to shft to neutral or u can strt dazzler in gear too.
Pathetic review…May be your pathetic knowledge about riding made the pulsar look bad to you.
Review purely displayz his exp with his bike for first 1000km ……i think if there was a bit spot light on the performance of the bike it would had done gr8..>!!!!
tool provision isnt d 1st here,
karizma has got dat feature frm long back!!
That was just a name sake review.Immature one.
anyways…..i own a GS150R…theres a toolkit,first aid,license n other documents holder and 2 helmet locks on the either side.so what u said wasn’t anything new….
this bike doesn’t create any shit sound like pulsar nor vibrates even at 110 Kmph…..so 80 was much lower one….
n even after riding it for more than 1 and half year m getting a mileage around 55-60 which i get checked up at each service.
The only reason is maintenance n your riding style….which you ll get used to in some time.
Congratulations for new bike n Ride safe.
thanks for sharing ur experience..efficiency of 50-55 is good since u r still in runnin period…may reduce once u start raising the engine…sound of engine here is compared to Unicorn by most critics hence louder…
i hav CBUnicorn and recently i chked the efficiency 550kms took 10.8litres (mostly city traffic ride), I reach 60-70kmph if i find mere 1km of no traffic zone so not so smooth rider…
The Dazzler was a great looking bike. It have a 150cc engine & double dis brake. It was a great achive of Honda company. It is cooled looking on the Road.
The bike is so bad looking in my opinion…!!! honda could have been made it much better in looks….
Also the overall size of the bike is small… not suited for tall people….
this bike has lotz of featurez like tubless tyres digital display and lots of indicators…its a gr8 choice…for tall peoples unicorn s the bulky and best choice…!!!
hey does dazzler suit for tall people
this bike is just a mediocre nothing special to offer…!!
APACHE & PULSAR are the clear winner at 70k price.
Test drive Dazzler and Achiever, You’ll be surprised how Achiever actually scores in many aspects (minus styling obviously)….
Achiever develops the best low end torque, develops max. torque (same as Unicorn) at just 5000rpm. Dazzzler develops nearly same torque at 6500 rpm (Unicorn develops @5500 rpm). Achiever simply feels lighter meaner and faster way upto 90kmph….Achiever’s AMI doesn’t allow RPM to reach faster later on….Achiever however tops out at 110kmph Dazzler may hit 115kmph…..but considering commuting usage Achiever gets you mre benefits….
However Dazzler may have some kind of balancer to keep the vibrations low at high speed, Achiever feels same(NVH parameters) as GSR(lowest NVH in 150cc segment).
Achiever mileage is 150cc segment best and only Suzuki GSR150 can get near to it in ‘ECONOMY MODE’ (which takes thrill out of riding).
Fully loaded Achiever costs just 61K (costs same as Stunner)in B’lore Dazzler costs 75K(excl. Access cost)
The bikes looks exactly same as twister from front view. Cant find anythin diff. The dazzler is just taller than twister. The name is not justified wit its looks. In my opinion pulsar is better in looks dept. Since its old n very common people say dazzler is better than pulsar(i just said wat i feel, no offence ) in looks alone. But smoothness and safety is one step ahead in dazzler.
Less weight , efficient braking are welcome changes.
Much awaited upgrade for unicorn, honda failed to giv more importance for looks. Looks bed in red color.
pulsar is superb it will not lose its smoothness even its parts like visor and mudguard start making noise…pulsar has no camparison with dazzler..dazzler looks ugly also…
bikes are very useful in our life. it is many types model . Apache and pulsar are very good looking bikes.
The Dazzler was a great looking bike. It have a 150cc engine & double dis brake. It was a great achive of Honda company. It is cooled looking on the Road.
the model of Honda bikes are mostly something different then other bikes and there color are amazing.
Well guyz i know dazzler is gr8 machine….. Only bcoz of honda name and fame… But not a gr8 bike because it lacks looks…..
Because Looks is also very essential thing…
As compared to average 50-55 kms is a very good thing…
Well i personally like fzz very much…
And i have a plan also to buy it…….
hi guys from u all some are right and some are very wrong
i have a dazzler
while buyin i have 2 choices
gsr and dazzler
in lokin dazz is far better than gs
fuel effcy both are same
gs is loaded with a extra gear with no profit
bt its cost is high
all and all i m satisfied with my bike
Hi, first of all;personally speeking, I dont like the look of dazzler.But I prefer cb unicorn: both in style and reliability. & secondly the name “unicorn dazzller” is only Honda’s business trick..because both are different .To gain an initial pull in market,it bears the name “unicorn”…that’s all…
ny way congrats to ur efforts give a review…
Dont compare this bike with Pulsar.Pulsar is one of the best 150 cc segment bike and Bajaj knows Indian roads better than others because Bajaj in wheelers business since 1945.
honda is a big multinational company since 1948…..n i dint get it wat u mean by Indian road….a bike when tested before bringing into the roads is tested 1000 times…nearly lakhs of designs are checked on diffrent properties like fuel efficient power aerodynamics and all other factors……but 2 stick into the market any bikes cannot be a so called COMPLETE PACKAGE ……hence every bike lacks 100% thing …not even ur PULSAR or DAZZLER ……….pulsar is in India for a long time…which doesnt mean that DAZZLER cant over take pulsar…in fact it has did it….it has smashed the market of pulsar 150……180 has just been trashed by apache …..and soon 220 will be smashed by yamaha fazer 250 n mojo…!!!
Dazzler is a great bike. It is comparitively smaller than Unicorn but perforance wise it is much more gud. I got my dazzler on 5 August 2010 and now it completed more than 500 km. But it won’t suit tall people.
why this bike does not suit 4 tall people
hey,guys!don’t go on the look of the bike.b’coz,the look is not imp.this bike has very smooth engine and it has a quality.pulsar,apache and fz are only good looking bikes.these bikes are not of good quality and these bikes have many problems.
well according to me..dazzler is a good bike..but its looks are awful..but performance wise its very good than pulsar and guys the best bike in 150cc segment is yamaha r15 not the shit head pulsar
me…haa planning to buy a dazzler….. i like fzz but my dad is not allowing me so i’m planning to buy dazzler…. & dazzler some times looks like fzz. from back..
Hi ……..
i have a dazzler and a pulsar 150. I have completed 2k kms on my dazzlar it is much better than pulsar 150. its my experience. pulsar is not smooth as dazzler. So i prefer Honda Dazzler in both bikes. Great bike. Beats pulsar in everything.
I like the bike,light weight,bhp upto14,tubless tyers,smart look,double disc brake….wat else u need.It can divert more youngster if the price range cms between 55 to 65.
i have a Yamaha rx135, an RD350 (1986), Honda VF500, and my new Dazzler. i also ride my cousins Pulsar 180 often(its like adopted by me). Guys every bike has its own strength. The Yamaha for speed(nothing like the RX100 guys if u don’t agree write about it). my dads RD 350 is like a jet plane and also consumes fuel like the jet plane so cant use it every day. my VF500 is a weekend bike as to expensive to get parts(this is where my Honda love started). if u say pulsar know India since 1945 , Honda knows bikes since 100 years and this forum is not for people who know India but for bike so keep ur deshbakti aside due. i brought my dazzler for commuting in the city and its proven it self till now. my cousins pulsar has loads of power but its raw so its uncontrollable and that’s why u must have seen maximum accidents on pulsars due to bad breaking. the dazzler was taken care first 3k by me and i realized the power and mileage improving. It kisses 115kmph like a feather. as per if the neutral is a problem that’s is coz u are putting extra force to go to neutral. u have o use light force to go down then if fits beautifully. Plusar fanatics u talk about your bike being beautiful , i agree that mine is not as pretty as yours but dude every second bike is a pulsar so its so common that even if u d anything great to it people will not notice it. while the dazzler looks different (i don’t mean beautiful) for heads to turn and stand out from the common pulsar. so the dazzler is a great bike in the city and u will enjoy every part of it while if u like the pulsar go to the tracks as the city is to clustered for that kind power.
I have also bought Dazzler last 4th of Dec. It doesn’t look good as compared to FZ, Pulsar, Apache etc, but when it comes on performance it is the best. Top speed is closed to the Apache 160 and mileage is superb. All this in a 14 bhp power. I think it is the fastest 150 cc bike(except R15). If u can compromise on looks like I do, than it is the best performer. Pulsar’s ride quality and smoothness is good but it doesn’t have durability and after 15k its sound changes. I don’t feel any problem on my Dazzler to shift it on neutral. And all bikes have toolkit with it. My last bike i.e. Honda Shine was also a Best performer in its class.
hey man…i have to make a choice..dazzler or pulsar 220
which one u suggest..
what the top speed u got on dazzler….how is it betwween 100 and 90..coz in test drive showroom guy didnt premitt me above 60kmph
pulsar 220 is just 10 thousand more than dazz..
plz suggest
cngrts for ur bike man….
Hi every one I am interested in purchasing CB Dazzler because of it’s disk brakes and other gadget’s and upon that is a Honda’s creating. So any one suggest me is it a good choise or is any other bike which gives same smoooth ride as honda. Help me please. If you had any suggestions feel free to suggest me. Thanks in advance
Today I took it for a fast drive on highway and I got a speed of 122 kmph speed after 600 mtrs and before a sharp turn comes. I’ll take to the runway this friday with 2 more bikes i.e. Apache RTR 160 and CBZ and I am sure that it’ll beat CBZ and compete to the Apache while it is the least power in it among the three(14bhp).
hi friends will u pls give me a good suggesion whehter to take dazzler or apache to ride inside thye city…….. which one is best in mileage inside the city ride?
Hi guys even me confused very much i need a decent family 150cc motor cycle so pls suggest me would this will lead a stance in all the sectors pls pls do reply for me because goin to book it as soon as your valuable reply arrives thanks in advance
Than please go for CB Unicorn. Dazzler is a very good bike but it is not at all a Family bike.
Harish the dazzler is a good bike for its reliablity and the engine smoothness which is un disputed.. so its ur choice.. u can also look at discover 150 as its good and is very economical for mantainance.. the dazzler may be a little uncomfortable for the pillion as Ur going to us it with ur family.. but if its u only then dazzler rocks
Hi guys, I live in chennai and I’m currently planning on buying a 150cc Bike.
I will have to use it everyday to go to office which is 1 hour away and want smoothness, comfort, reliability, milage, and a pleasureful ride
Reading all comments I think i will go for dazzler if anyone else has suggestion please tell me
Thank you
@ johnny: congrats man u have made a wise decision… if u have not bought it still u can consider suzuki gs150r also… that too has everything which dazzler has and moreover it also has very reliable background(suzuki) with macho looks.
Hello Amey and frineds
thanks for your valuable information
I like dazzler very much ,i love this bike but still i am waiting to know about bike problems and all other thing,because all of the bikes will have atleast 2 or 3 problem .so we have to get convence of such problems, like fz is very good in all views but about millage?????????? now petrol rate is 65 (bangalore)now a millage is very very important for peoples,and i am having some clarification about lovely dazzler i heard that operation of switches are hard ?,cold starting problem,?what about the illumination of head light at night time ? ,is there a space under the seat to keep bike documents and atleast a sun glass?,is there any vibration in 45 to 55 kmph speed?,if battery is drain anyhow we can start the bike but at that time head lamp,horn,meters,turning and danger lamp will work or not?, these are the thing which makes me think about the other bikes,
and one clarification now i am staying in bangalore the climate is not stable in all days some of the days temperature will be very less at morning at that time dazzler start without any problem ? or choke we have to apply(Engine life killer) to start bike,because i owned hero Honda passion + every cool morning i am struggling to start it, atleast i am leaving bike to run in higher rpm for 20 to 30 sec, but before 4 mnts i rode dazzler in city traffic it was amazing but i didn’t feel any vibration ,because my normal speed will be around 50 to 55 every day i will travel around 50+ km,and one more thing dazzler having any battery problem and is it able to change battery to 5Amps or higher capacity battery with this bike and how is the service from Honda side specially in case of battery failure,and is it able to fix and security system in dazzler and how much days battery will withstand for security system, i am requesting dazzler owners to answer my questions because there are the minimum thing we need to check before taking a bike……Pls help me to come over these confusions
Thanks and regards

hello amey…i have bought dazzler on november 2010. Bike is good but not the best. I have experienced few problems which you must mention
1. Battery is very very poor compared to plain unicorn or yamaha fz. In 15 dayz the battery dies and you need to push start your bike which is very irritating for a new bike.
2. Shape is very bad compared to other bikes. Not at all appealing for youths.
3. Comfort level (especially seating and riding) is also not very sporty and inferior to fz. Fz is more macho.
4. Power is also ok… w.r.t. other 150 cc bikes in the segment….especially wid the pick up…its pretty decent
5. The engine used is same as in unicorn which is 6 yrs old. And the mistake which they have done is by tuning the bike to increase the power from 13.3 to 14 bhp with the same engine which ofcourse has caused the bike to loose its smootheness as in unicorn…you can feel it on accelerating.
6. The engine gets overheated and you can actually feel the excessive heat at the leg space which is not good
6. Being a new bike, honda hasn’t made any awe inspiring efforts. It just made some fine tunings and i don’t know why they changed the shape and came up with such a bad one. I really loved the wing shaped tail lamp in unicorn.
In short, honda has failed to dazzle me.!
Bad choice.
hi Nick
you feel like unsatisfied with the dazzler. If you want to sell it let me know.
Hi All,
I’m planning to buy a bike. This will be my first bike. I’m reading all the reviews of 150cc bikes.
i found Dazzler is one of the best, Please advise me weather i’m correct are not.
i’m confused,i’m not able to make my decision.
Please advise…………….
Guys don’t compare BAJAJ and HONDA. No one can beat HONDA the smoothness and silence this engine has is not given by BAJAJ. instead BAJAJ cylinder gets a BURSTING sound after 1 year……..
Hi Guys,
I’m planning to buy a Honda Unicorn Dazzler within next 10-15 days. I test drive the same and satisfied with the engine and over all performance.
But suddenly the day I went to book the bike, some one told me that fixing an additional side box (to carry useful items) is very difficult with Unicorn Dazzler due to it’s mono suspension design. Proper fittings of additional box is most important to me as I hate to carry bags or and other items while riding a bike.
Some of the shops selling such boxes saying they can easily fix the carry box to Dazzler.
Requesting for your views and suggestions at the earliest. Any Dazzler users ..please help…

I have never seen an awful looking bike in my life. Nothing looks good in the bike. Even the bike’s fuel tank looks bad.
