Advice on renewing a trouble free Dazzler with 1.1 lakh km or switching to a scooter that matches its reliability

Question

My Honda Dazzler 150&#x2019;s RC lapses in June 2026. The odometer reads 1.1 lakh km and I&#x2019;ve had a trouble-free ownership - it still runs like new every day. If I sell it, I don&#x2019;t think any other bike will match its reliability. If I renew the RC, I&#x2019;ll likely keep riding it until my son is in 8th grade (around 2031). My wife owns a 2022 Jupiter 125, and I&#x2019;m increasingly leaning toward scooters. I like the Aerox but feel it may not offer value for money; the Honda Access looks boring. I need advice on whether to sell, renew, or switch to a scooter and which scooter (if any) would match the Dazzler&#x2019;s reliability.

Accepted Answer

Since you have had such a lovely experience with your Dazzler, you could play it safe and replace it with the Honda Unicorn / SP160 - both of which can trace their roots back to your machine. Other options for you in a similar displacement bracket are the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160.

Coming to scooters, we would recommend the TVS Ntorq 125 or Ntorq150 - depending on your budget - both of which are sporty, capable and comfortable scooters that will stand out from the crowd. The only reason we would steer you away from the Yamaha Aerox is its stiff rear suspension, which will get tiring and downright intolerable if you stay in an area with less-than-perfect roads.
