2. Apache will give better mileage than Pulsar..
3. Pulsar 220 looks better than apache..
4. I Would have chosen Apache out of the 2 as I don't like 220..

Clarifying facts:
1. 0-100 is rider dependent. But still, in the Bike India 0-100-0 tests, P220 was faster in the 0-100 and the overall 0-100-0 timings. A180 was fastest in 100-0 timings owing to lesser weight -> less inertia/momentum of travelling mass. Though, cornering is undoubtedly better on the A180 (if you upgrade to better tyres then definitely) But in highway performance and high speed
day/night cruisability, the P220 is unbeatable.
2. Mileage again is rider dependent for both these bikes. But that point may well still be correct.
3. Agreed!
4. Look at what i chose.
The choice depends upon your usage, your preference.
P.S.: If you finally opt for the P220, Please stay away from the 'S' version as weight of both wont have much of a difference but the far better illumination on the 'F' version is worth paying the extra 3k for. Which BTW also gives you something that distinguishes a P220 from a P200/180/150.. i.e. the 'F'
