As good as the Unicorn is it is still a little old and dull in design terms. Those looking for a more aggressive and modern bike, but with all the positives of the Unicorn should go for the CB Trigger. But also consider the Bajaj Pulsar & Yamaha FZ.

The smaller sibling of CBR 250R, the CBR 150R is an out and out performance oriented motorcycle. The 150R is the most powerful and the most expensive 150cc bike on offer in India. The bike is a solid performer, but its expensive price tag lets its down. Also consider Yamaha R15.

Both the CBR 150R and the R15 are closely matched in terms of performance and handling, with the Yamaha taking a slight lead. The Honda is better at cruising due to more upright seating position.

The chunk rear tyre, the stylish and large exhaust mufflers all result in the FZ-16 scoring high on macho factor. Even after all these years the bike still commands a good road presence. Despite its large size the bike handles just as well as the smaller ones in this list. The FZ-S adds to the styling with colourful graphics, but for a premium. Like the Honda CB Trigger the FZ-16 gets monoshocks.

The last bike in this list looks conservative, much like the Honda Unicorn. The bike is designed like a commuter bike, with focus being more on ride quality and keeping the rider and the pillion rider comfortable. The bike is not sporty and neither does it try to be. Over all, the GS150R is a good 150cc commuter bike as long as sporty styling is not what you want.
