dude..its gotta be the R15...it might stretch ur budget a little but its worth it...

the posture the balance and the power that u wudnt think a 150 cc engine wud generate...also its not only a city bike but also a tourer ...
another reason wud be the yamaha technology for which ppl greatly recommend it...

Default Fazer- for looks

If the requirement is only looks, i feel FAZER looks more cool than R15 as the back portion of R15 looks very small with smaller tyres and it does not compliment the front muscular part. FAZER I feel is more balanced in looks as it has a FAT tyre which maintains the muscular look. As you are more concerned for looks and so I feel not much performance inclined, FAZER suits you and at the same time your pocket will not get pinched as its cheaper than R15.

I'll go with fazer for looks... its got the overall look...and comes for almost 40-45k cheaper than R15 ....

The rear side of Fazer looks much much better than R15....
The only problem is that the pillion seat is comparetively smaller in Fazer...so choose your pillion accordingly

For Looks.. blindly go for Fazer..
For Handling : go for P220.. this heavy machine has ultimate balance & grip over rode even a severe cut will feel you very comfortable.. choice is yours.. better go for a test drive & then decide..

see the fazer is a damn good looking bike..no denying that fact but u have to understand the difference between a fazer and a r15 is the way the both wrk...

fazer in essence is a fz with a faring..on the other hand the R15 is a completely different bike...even though both are 150 odd cc...the power delivery that a r15 can do is way more than that of a fazer or even a lighter fz...

also fuel efficiency which is jus about ok in fz is reduced further in fazer due to the added weight of the faring...r15 still is giving ppl 40 kmpl as to fazers 30-35 kmpl...

For looks, go for fazer. You'll have to compromise a bit on mileage.
