Default r15 or rtr180 or p220

i want either rtr180 or r15.will cover 40 kms everyday in less traffic area in delhi. not into that much touring. want power n mileage of atleast 35kmpl.
please say that r15 does not have heating issues bcz i love r15.
i want sporty posture.
also if bajaj has improved its service i would opt for p220.

Between the two choices that you have, I would suggest you get the RTR. Good low and mid-range torque and power, and decent fuel efficiency too. If you want to go for the P220, you can do so. I have never personally felt Bajaj's service lacking in anything. It depends on which service center you choose, really.

I would say go for the R15, very refined, comfortable, powerfull, handles great !

The RTR 180 would be a no from my side since the vibrations ruin all the fun of riding it around, though it is a very potent, quick and refined bike !

The R15 is definitely the bike to buy with eyes closed.

if you have zeroed on r15, then look no further....... rtr doesn't even come close...... u'll enjoy the ride....... but if u have any second thought about 220, then go for 220....... personally I like more power, so went for 220....... did 4500km in 1 month ....... till now no problem at all...... u'll enjoy the power.......
smoothnes--till 5000rpm super smooth
power--from 100kph to 120kph, u'll fell the power
torque--u'll have to ride it to enjoy it
mileage--giving decent 34kpl from my insane driving....... m riding at speed above 100kph throughout my tour where ever it may be......
vibrations--none in my bike(by God's grace n Bajaj's engineer's effort ).......

n heating issue will be there....... only on your riding condition....... driving just 40km, u won't even notice it........ so no need to worry about that.......

I weight around 70 kgs & have taken a pillion rider weighing 155 kgs. So dont worry about max payload.

Id say , go for the R-15.

Depends upon you,the prices of the three bikes are different R15 is the best and is the most expensive among the three you mentioned.
If you want your bike for fun,nimble handling,city driving then go for RTR 180 awesome pick-up decent mileage.

Original poster: Go for R15, provided you're not as tall as the guy below.
