A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

i would suggest you to go with p220S coz its just 1k more than A180
its riding position is better,its faster and hardy any difference in FE
and in pulsar vibrations are few even at really high speeds

IMO.. teflon coating is a waste of money, just get your bike a water wash with shampoo and apply wax polish.. that will last for at least couple of months and it's as good as teflon coating.

TVS & Bajaj both are Indian companies. Reliability is somewhat similar. I would like to mention TVS service is not good here as well as parts are costly. Do check them in your location.

TVS is a great handler but bajaj has more comfortable ride.

See the Adventure18 store in Satya Niketan (In front of Vekateshwara College, Dhaula Kuan) or the KRP of course in Naraina..

Ya Teflon coating is always good but i do not see VFM in that

@ enfro thanx for the adresses. Any specific suggestions as to the helmets?

And can you please explain what exactly do they do in teflon coating because I asked the salesperson and he told me they paint it with teflon and when I asked him how much time this procedure requires he said 15 mins
