Im looking for a bike with decent power and speed. Currently riding a unicorn, but can't get more than 110 kmp/h. Was deciding to go for the p220 models. but heard that the maintenance will be too much!!

If you maintain well P220 will not charge you in terms of maintenance. Actually it is supposed to be low on maintenance. If you have a budget of 1.5L go for CBR250 since you say your build is average. Or P220 will do. Its quite bulky. RTR 180 is a very light bike(137kg). R15 is also a good bike and might suit you. Take a test drive of all the bikes in your mind and decide before buying.

why not look at a Karizma-R? But keep in mind the low mileage!

You've not mentioned much details on to what are your requirements?!
Every bike in the market has its specific purposes, you've to write your requirements in order to select one out of them.

Why misguiding anyone? "Low" and "high" are totally relative terms. Moreover, mileage depends on way of riding.
A Karizma-R with mileage 40kmpl is very good, but an Apache RTR 160 with mileage 40kmpl is not good or "bad" or "low".

Agreed.. What I wanted to say to the TS is the normal or mileage-to-expect from the bike. From what majority of users in this forum say,the Karizma-R's is about 30kmpl while P220's=40 and R15=45.

Go for Karizma ..it's better for tall riders and has comfortable seating geometry
