Please help me choose my bike.My daily run is of 20km. My budget is around 80k.I have shortlisted ZMA , P220 v2009. I want to know which is better for me and why.

I really like the looks of P220, but at the same time the resale of a hero honda ZMA is quite good. Please assist.....

hi buddy,

i would sugest you to go for zma cos even i am planing to buy it i had pulsar before and engine refinement is not up to mark compared to zma, but think twice or thrice before buying pulsar, i sold my pulsar cos not satisfied of its performace, i am also looking out for zma, finally take suggest from few people and then go ahead, all de best

Bro, ther is no point in even considering ZMA in 'Today's' world...

ZMA, is no doubt a good bike...but is grossly outdated and needs a revamp asap..

In practicality, I really find no point buying zma over a p220. Take a test drive of both the bikes...

Go for the one which pleases you more....!

Buy the new p220 ,
The Zma has become outdated and is gonna get a small upgrade soon

When the camparo is between a Zma and a 220, the text in bold doesnt hold any good.

+1 to both.

Zma is a proven Honda machine with excellent build quality and reliability, Zma's engine refinement is very good, a good tourer can munch miles w/o much stress and is very comfortable commuter as well.

I really don't know what 'outdated' means, but I know P220 DTSi is launched b'cos P220 DTSFi failed in market (actually a backward step by removing Fi). Just b'cos some model is 'new' Zma doesn't become old. It's just a perception of few people. Zma is still an excellent choice esp. for touring and commuting needs. Zma though 6 years old is selling well only b'cos of it's proven capabilities.

If I were in your place, I would choose the ZMA, for the Honda reliability.
No wonder it is still doing so well, inspite of the 220&R15 coming into the market.
I would be willing to forgo a few kms.of topspeed&some gizmos in return for Honda quality product with troublefree ownership.
I do not intend to say Bajaj is bad, it is just my view that Honda is anyday better.

moeed · 06-30-2009, 11:47 PM

I would suggest you go for the 220. You already mentioned that you liked the looks of the 220. Listen to what your heart says and buy the bike which you feel satisfied with.
