Hi all,

I am confused whether to buy P220 or ZMA-R ?

Way back in '07 when P220 was released, I was not ready for 2 months waiting period and went ahead and bought the ZMA.
It was a no nonsense bike and never ever troubled me except once when there was some issue with gear shift and was replaced. I rode it for 15k kms before I sold. Since I am a tourer and will be traveling around frequently, I just wanted to know the reliability of P220 since there were many issues that were posted in old P220 thread.

I was mulling on R-15 or P220 or thunderbird. I took off the tb out of the list due to the maintenance it requires. R-15 is not ideal for touring esp. with the stiff suspension. So, I am left with P220 and ZMA as the final options. Please pour in your advise.

Thanks,

Krishna
