Can anyone help me choose between P220S and P180?

Things I am looking for in the bike:

1. My daily commuting will be around 15kms in a heavy traffic prone route

2. Mileage figures of 40 - 45 KMPL will do

3. Good pickup & maneuveribility

4. Occasional tourer

5. Low Maintanence

ken cool

I would say 220 hands down!

Approved

It's me

P220 S is nothing but the P220F except Projector and fairing.
Choosing 220S you 'll say yes to Lot of power, lot more pickup,Huge amount of Trq.

But as far as looks is conserned dr is not much of a diff. You can merely diffrentiate between 220S and 180.

Never then less it' all abiut the underneth Raw power, Picup and Trq.......U ride it u feel it....

I don't think cutting traffic effortlessly is possible on this bike.Because it's heavy.
But if u are cmfrtble riding 220S then i think it 'll not be a problem.

Go for 220S no Doubt.

Why only these 2 bikes? There are a lot more to choose from!

I jus love the P220...but wht abt the mileage?? I heard P220 gives only 25kmpl in city traffic this is a real concern for me any brief on tat??

I did consider other bikes..

Apache & FZ - Does'nt suit my build (I am 6ft tall and weigh around 80kgs)

zma r - i wud love to own this but its way too old and i fear it'll be phased out in a few days time

zmr - waiting time of more than 100 days

Finally I've decided to go for a pulsar and has ended up startin this thread

It's me

mileage is completely depending upon ur clutch and gear use.

But 25kmpl is not a fact you 'll defenetly get 40kmpl.

For first few days try to learn quickly that how to not use clutch and gear heavily.And one thing more to that as p220S got high amount of Trq low rev 'll not be a problem......that thing helps when u r driving in heavy traffic.
