Just test ride both the bikes and buy the one which you feel suits you. ZMA lovers will swear by its touring abilities and the Pulsar owners will vouch for its raw power and peppy thrust!

In the end, it is what you feel suitable!

Since you have already taken the ZMA for a spin, go take the P220-S for a test ride too.

But trust me, in most if not in all cases, it is more of the rider and less of the ride!

Am going on a test ride today. Will let you know my personal experience later.


Update: Went on a test ride. Didn't get proper chance to use the power to the maximum. Well, I am comfortable with the seating position. The pickup was awesome. The power band in 3rd and 4th gear was not too noticeable. Rear disk brake was okay. Was not too effective. The main thing was that the bike had only 15 kms on the odo. I've decided to buy Pulsar 220S. I guess this decision is finalized to 99.99%

Here are my personal opinions why I chose Pulsar 220S.
  1. Awesome pickup
  2. VFM - Karizma R costs Rs 83950 OTR while Pulsar 220S costs me Rs79950
  3. The pillion riding position and suspension was better
  4. The engine is refined from other siblings
  5. I liked the riding position

Do have some minor factors. However, thanks everyone for the feedback.

Since the original poster has taken a decision, I am closing this thread. It has served its purpose. Maybe I will even make it sticky.
