    If you need quickest bike in ~150 segment then Apache RTR 160 is best.

    Apart of Unicorn and Pulsar 150, all three are relatively new bikes so availability of parts and long run reliability can't be judged.

    Technically unicorn is best bike but also it is the least powered bike in segment.

    Well according to me Pulsar is a better bike than rest of the 3.Except its Self start everything else it has is better than rest of the 3.It has digital speedometre which looks good with its built.Apache RTR's speedometre doesn't have a good look,it looks too old fashioned.It's mileage is also appreciable.The customer service is also very effficient that is what makes it stand alone(leading) to other bikes of this segment.

    Firstly...consider the prices...
    u need to look again for the on road prices!!! or that u might be quoting ex-showroom prices..still unicorn wont cost u 72000!!!

    now hv a luk here:
    pulsar: good one...but its toooo common now

    hunk: hv a personal experience as i own one  Wink..giving me a mileage of around 52...good looks...road-grip n comfort is too good..maintanence...u can always rely on Hero Honda...spares parts are most easily available..

    Unicorn: certainly the best in class when compared in view of technology goes in...but nt as sporty...still its the smoothest..i hv come across..

    Apache: Want an extra 10 cc at a price of 150 cc...go for it...super pick up...can milk a mileage of around 45-50..but still some vibration is dere at higher speed...but still its a good bargain..maintenance..m nt aware of!

    so now its your choice..do tell me what u bought!! Wink

    my suggestion is to go with rtr coz the mileage is good if u drive decently.
    then the looks and can be managed easily i am got 50kmpl in city but i drove in 40 1ly at that time
    but surely u will get 45+
