4 Which is better? Yamaha FZ Vs. Honda CB Trigger

Comparison between Yamaha FZ-16/S and the Honda CB Trigger

Since it's launch the Yamaha FZ-16/S has been the the most desirable 150 cc Street Sports motorcycle available in India. Probably the only thing that prevents it from being the best selling 150 cc motorcycle in India (which has been the Bajaj Pulsar 150's turf for over a decade) is its relatively low fuel efficiency figures (around 35-40 kmpl) for a 150 cc model.

The TVS Apache RTR 160/180 models are too small to have the same kind of presence that the FZ has, the Hero Xtreme is not too everyone's taste in its styling, the Hero Hunk, Suzuki GS 150R bring nothing special to the table and the Pulsar 150 is too common on the roads. Honda CB Unicorn is too commuterish.

Honda tried to break into this desirable 150 cc with it's Dazzler in 2010. But did not taste the success it was looking for. As a result the Dazzler was discontinued and a new redesigned model called the CB Trigger has been launched. Is the Honda CB Trigger good enough to take the Yamaha FZ-16/S head on?

3 Honda CB Trigger replaces the CB Unicorn Dazzler.

Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India replaces the CB Unicorn Dazzler model.. with the CB Trigger

This had to happen as the CB Trigger was essentially the CB Unicorn Dazzler in new clothes. Honda has officially withdrawn the CB Unicorn Dazzler by taking it off from it corporate website. Slow selling models do get discontinued, but what's important to note here is that the CB Unicorn Dazzler is the second motorcycle model (after the CBF Stunner PGM-Fi) to be discontinued from HMSI (Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India)'s lineup. Something that Honda is not known to do in India.

The CB Trigger is still not "hot" enough to challenge the Yamaha FZ-16/S

Honda could have just opted for an easier option of naming the new model as the new CB Unicorn Dazzler.. or in case it felt that the name was too long, then could have shortened it as the "CB Dazzler". By choosing to discontinue with the CB Unicorn Dazzler branding, it will affect the resale value of the Dazzler models plus also Honda will again have to go back to square one in terms of branding, which is a costly affair.

I was almost sure that my "Dhoom" days were over.. and this gets launched

Visordown has posted photos of the soon to be launched "Made in India" KTM RC390. Of late I have developed kind of disinterest for full faired bikes. I find the kind of models available in India like the Yamaha R15, Honda CBR 150/250R and even the Kawasaki Ninja 300 more kind of poser stuff than actually being true to its track bike genre.

I actually find it amusing when someone say how sporty riding position of the R15 is. Anyone who says so should be put on a "real" super sports machine or even the KTM RC390 would do..!! The handlebars on the RC390 looks to be pure super sports stuff. The KTM RC390 looks totally impractical for commuting, which is exactly why this is one "Dhoom" machine that I am falling in love with.
