Default 70K Bike suggestions

My requirements are
1. Commuting
2. Touring
3. Street driving (Most important of all!)

What I want
1. Soft on butt
2. Damn good handling
3. I don't need rocket speeds but 150Km/h would do :grin:. Kiddin!
4. Reliable, like my ZMA(its no more alive!).

I have enough brainstorming sessions with myself and finally got down to the list which goes as
1. P180
2. A180
3. CBZ Xtreme
4. HUNK
5. P150
6. further additions

Out of which choice no.2 is unlikely, cause I tried to rip it and it vibrated like tractor at 55Km/h :shock:. No offence to anyone, personal feeling!
Please don't suggest FZ, fazer etc..shelling out 70K for them would be by no way VFM! Reasons are 38Km/l mileage, Comparatively slower acceleration, uncomfortable riding position for long tours, though very stable at road, but still not enough.
Please help guys, I am damn confused!

If you can extend your Budget a little more , go for P220 " S " Man , its kickass. Just awesome just today i got to ride ,it it feels something different altogether. If test drive is available , Please try this one.

You can also think for P220S its only 2-3k more and hell lot of performance and an allround package.

Man Delhi is a place where the bikes are cheapest than anywhere else.
as far as my knowledge goes , its somewhwere around 73-74k. May be Delhi xBhpians can help you, or you yourself call up the PBK.

Its a normal Pulsar 220 without the fairing. The fairing has been replaced with the headlight of normal pulsar. (Read P180). So you see the bike is lighter now and weighs close to P180 but more power. Rear Disc is still there. Refer to this thread for complete information. Link

Price will be 74-75000 in delhi. Bike is the best value for money.

Technically there is no change. Only Projection Headlamps removed with the fairing.

Without, fairing whats the point left in 220S if the looks are identical to 180 and who cares about extra 4BHP and 20Km/hr speed difference. Any suggestions?

you cant feel the power nor torque of the bike by typing dude,go have a test ride of 180 and 220 and see if you can write the same statement again here
