Man!! i exactly know how you feel, cas i have the same problem dude, but jus look at my bike... i cant leave it behind... so i decided to go with it... your ears hurt bit bu then when you hear the beat of the bike.... you will feeel its better than....

For the query the p220 is a harder choice... trust me on this. I would say the zma is more comfortable in terms of seating. But i remember my she loved the seating of my early Yamaha eliminator. So its either the Avenger or the zma.

The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back;
and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

TBTS is a good choice. Powerful yet comfortable.

And if you are not gong the bulls way then go for the ZMA,, or better wait till HH reveals the new ZMA..

Its eagerness to be pushed beyond limits is the best of all. The wring of the throttle brings with it loads of adreline and excitement. and the shift at 8 k rpm..oh...i am stopping here..

But now, i am facing a different situation on hand.I recetly got married and my wife is feels extremly uncomfortable to sit on the rear. Moreover the vibes in very very high in rear foot pegs. She daily keeps abusing and cursing my RTR and i could take this no more.

So i came to a decision. I can either let go of my wife or my RTR. If the do the former, my pillion seat may be empty forever...!!!. Hence, i am planning to do the latter.

My requirements:
Comfortable pillion seats
fairly large bike (u know the RTR was a bit small)
Good touring capabilities
Most important: I cant go back on power (dont make me miss my RTR)

Peak Price point: 1 lac


Please suggest me the bike that suits my requirement.

Thanks in advance

Praveen
Taking everything into consideration, ZMA would be the Best..
220 Carb or FI might also suit your pocket..
