Pros : Easy to Handle, Ride Control, Pickup
Cons : Cold start problem, Cant go more than 90kms/hr speed

I was looking for a practical family bike which can be used for me and my brothers to go around town and which is easy to ride and handle So Discover 150cc came as the first option as we had previous experience with its younger sibling Discover 135ccEverything was fine initially I have completed almost 1000kms and the 1st service is done I even started enjoying the new 150cc bike but one fine morning my bike didnt bother to start I thought that it could be the normal cold start issue that everyone faces during cold weather I ignored it But this started happening frequently and now even during day times If my bike is idle for more than 3-4hrs it just wont start again I will have to roll it for 10-20mtrs before kicking to start it again I took it to the service center they checked it for more than 30mins and couldnt find anything unusual about it But Im still facing the same issue Now when I think of going to office in the morning the bike starting trouble always come to my mind and try to take an Auto instead of the bike more often To put it simple it has become a non reliable useless bike for me Let me know in case if anyone has any advice to sort this outThere is another problem which I always encounter in highways my bike will never go above 85kms I have clocked 102kms on my previous 135cc discover but the 150cc version I dont know why it simply ignore to go more than 85 or max 90kms It starts to jerk and we feel out of control after its 7580kms speed Though mileage was not a key consideration for me this bike though claims to give 65kmltr for me unfortunately it never crossed more than 50kmltrPositive Points are Easy to Handle Ride Control is very good Good pickup in traffic 5th gear gives extra punch during rideNegative points Starting Trouble may be its unique to my bike - but that extra choke button would have made the difference instead of the auto choke which bajaj claims for the 150cc never goes more than 80kms speed bad mileage 1st gear lacks control a bit Gear box sound
