If you have a racer DNA and want a real hardcore performing machine then go for R15.
and if you want a street bike which maintains a balance between extreme performance and indian requirements then go for P220.

Overall for what buddy? There must be some things more important to you than others. Let me help you by listing them out (in no particular order). Arrange them according to your priority and then we can help you. You're obviously welcome to modifying/adding your own.

- Straight line performance
- Handling, goes hand in hand with stability, braking
- Performance more appropriate on the track, or curves etc.
- Value for Money
- Technology
- Comfort over long rides
- Top Speed
- Poser Value !!!
- Engine vibes, build quality etc.
- Mileage (yeah its valid :P )

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but i am also in similar dilemma. Currently own a Pulsar 150, DTSI. My main usage would be to commute from Home to office and back(45KMS daily), which is on the outer ring road. I might not do a lot of touring, as i might be using my car for that. Do let me know the ideal bike for my requirements.

Be Indian and Buy Indian. Go for the P220 unless you want to experience a slick Japanese sports bike before you grow old enough that your senses go bland

it is better you stick to your P150 DTSi (guess it is UG2). It would serve your purpose very well, is among the most beautiful bikes we've seen on the roads. Don't waste your money on a new bike when the existing one serves you well and that you don't have a special purpose to buy the new one...

AFAIK pulsar 220 dtsi and yamaha r15 has different specs,but regarding performance(acceleration,top speed) approximately same.
but what about reliability of engine after 30k kms.which one will able to give same performance as it was.other things are
1.road grip
2.riding comfort
3.mileage
3.maintenance
4.cost of parts

Omi · 12-01-2009, 02:03 PM

Go for teh Yammie
LIL bit costly, even to maintain
But is teh BEST you can get IF YOU WILL KEEP IT ABOVE 4-5 KRPM

coz ther are people who complain low Pickup, and never take it to WHAT IT DESERVES!
