Instead of asking others which bike is comfortable for you, just ride these bikes first and you can ask any clarifications.

Word on the street is that a new P220 is going to come in a month or so. You can also wait for RTR180.

If you want best riding posture and want the reliable engine, nothing beats karizma. The best for long tours.

I will be waiting for the new P220 mean time i will test drive the other bikes.

All i can say is: best of luck!

The list you have provided is good

and is the most talked and debated also

among our biking enthusiasts for the past few months. As you yourself had said about your size factor, I think The R15 would be suitable for you being a light weight bike with good handling, provided you got that heavy pocket for that bike.

. Meanwhile if you got time to wait for the upcoming rumoured launches like new P220, Zma, P200, RTR180 or even CBR150r :O then wait to prepare a new and updated list

Drop zma from your list.

age old engine (hence has to be reliable) and everything from head to tail.....a simple screw to the piston costs a BOMBBB.....
to the top of it, if you get milege in the range of 32-33kmpl, consider yourself extremely lucky....

among r15 and p220....

both have absolutely different characters

considering your not-so- healthy physique, r15 would be a better buy, it being just 126-127kgs and absolutely feather light handling makes it a breeze anywhere you ride

p220 is an out-and out screamer which unleashes its truck loads of torque the moment it comes to life!

Best would be to test drive all the bikes yourself and make an informed decision based on your own priorities and comfort....!

All the best...

@ketansrihas: my first advice to you would be to wait for 2-3 months if possible.
If you can not wait then as per your req the P220 is out of the list as you are looking for a reliable bike. Between Zma and R15 I would recommend R15 as it has better fuel economy(40+always), much better handling and braking. There is hardly any difference in pickup and topspeed between Zma and R15 but P220 is definately faster than both.

I beg to differ here Surbhit. I agree that P220 is faster than both ZMA&R15, but R15 has the highest top speed. Pickup certainly P220 wins hands down.
Anyways, I don't mean to start a debate here.
@ketansrihas: If you have the moolah, go for the R15. It is a marvellous piece of engineering. Of course, like every other bike, it does have its flaws, but there are ways&means to cope with them too!

ketansrihas · 04-22-2009, 04:03 PM

The prob i heard in R15 is the chain .
Its so delicate and the chain must be lubed for every 500kms and is it easy to DIY the lubrication

The upcoming Apache RTR 180 Menace would also be a good option.

@ Ketan: As Said By Aditya Go For R15 If You Don't Look For Budget
& If You Want A Different Bike Wait For RTR 180 Said By Sarvajit
If Any Doubt Search In What Bike Section For My Thread Target ?
Though I Didn't Include ZMA Insted Of That RTR 160 FI Were You Said City Riding & Lil Touring I Suggest TVS APACHE RTR\FI(160 Even 180)(Not On Your List)

Ps: What's Your Height & Weight ?

Wait for RTR180, it has the potential to put some heavyweights to shame...
or if you are eager to buy http://bikeindia.in/reviews/shootout...orce/Post.aspx
