I am in love with the 220 and love takin it up the hills.. The Fi works brilliantly there.
Since u already have the 220, i would suggest the Karizma for its generous power and its comfortable riding position. Ofcourse, if knee scraping is what you have in mind.. it isnt the best fit.

Unicorn is no fun in the hills at all... i feel that these machines do not have any road presence.. dont even think about that .. you will regret later.. at least thats what i feel about it ...

i'm about to zero upon thunderbird twinspark and started my enquiry with showrooms , this is to keep you informed ........deepmetal u have made an wonderful suggestion on my part

tnks a lot

UCE Engine wala Enfields are supposed to be better and umm...reliable

.cruising through hills of kerala in a bullet is so enjoyable.once you tasted ,never will leave the habit

.
AVL engine is used in old thunderbird and machismo.it easily gets heated.but apart from that ,I dont find anything particularly bad against it.it is still a enfield.

still Pulsar180/200 or 220 will win accoldes from all side.it is serviceable at Idukki also!.
