Aoa...
Is it possible?
Isb to Balakot in Day 1 leaving at 6 am....
Balakot to Naran on Day 2 and back to Islamabad?
Is it better(cheaper) to stay in Muzaffrabad or Balakot?
Is going to Naran in one day possible and enjoyable?
Bike: new 125 and YBR w/ 2passengers

Two days on bike from Islamabad to Naran is not advisable. Its almost 7hrs of continuous ride, one side whether you go via Muzzafarabad or via Mansehera. If on bikes you should have atleast 4days plan, with adequate rests in between.

@raiks170297 yes i did islamabad to naran in one day with no problem from isb->muzafarabad->balakot->naran 8 hours total riding. Take muzafarabad route there is no traffic on the way instead of Abbottabad where traffic jam is routine
This time of year you will find very cheap hotel rents both in balakot and muzafarabad. i've stayed once in muzafarabad they offered complimentary breakfast 2k price per night very nice hotel

Edit: not once or twice but 4-5 times in past 3 years. just remember to take a break after 2 hours of ride. last time i did it on ybr-g 2016 model with no problem whatsoever.
Just a word of advice if you willing to take muzafarabad route fill up the tank you wont find any station till after kashmir bridge

Very much possible but weather is naran will be very cold so you have to wear proper warm clothes layers to stay warm other wise its very diffcult to ride in cold weather. last year i did travel from Astore to Rawalpindi in one day via Naran Road in september so its easily doable what u r planning.
