AFAIK, both bike weighs almost the same.. ~150kg
I dont think though the weight will be a problem in traffic. We ain't lifting it..

JK..!

Yes weight (150 kg) is a problem in bumper to bumper Traffic....but it's a Big bike & not made for riding in Heavy Traffic ..... for riding in traffic ,look for only light 100 cc bikes

even i avoid taking my ZMA to very dense traffic areas ..

now talking about riding posture of ZMA n ZMR then there isn't any difference & we don't need to lean on tank while riding a ZMR..its posture is as straight as we ride a ZMA,(it might be just a psychological thing cuz of fairing for some guys

) i never found ANY difference while riding both bikes,n its not only me but anyone can ask generally about comfort level of ZMR n P220 without being partial about any bike..

P220 has around 19NM Torque @ 7000rpm & ZMR produce 18.35NM torque that means difference is even lesser then 1NM but ZMR produce this figure @ 6000rpm..so i don't think so P220 has any such considerable advantage here..

safety features in ZMR is also better then P220 like braking is better & presence of sensor will ensure that your bike will get switched off right after a fall etc..also reliability of Pulsar has improved but still it lacks behind on likes of HH, Honda & Yamaha..
PS - by posting this i didn't mean that P220 is slower then ZMR but i just wanna say that ZMR is slower but not by much, as you also said that P220 will be miles ahead, which certainly isn't that true..

correct me if i am wrong... but in the ZMR the 18.35 NM torque at the given rpm is the maximum torque the engine produces...before this and after this the torque falls and is never maximum....soo if ZMR give max torque at 6k RPM and Pulsar at 7k RPM, by the tym ur bike reaches 7k RPM the torque again decreases so the difference increases...guessing more than 1Nm torque and this difference is maintained throughout...SOO Pulsar has and advantage of abt 2 k rpm all the top end which IS VERY VERY GUD ENOUGH...

What say PULSAR BRODAS...

Hey hondarider if your first love is ZMR then go for it buddy because 1st love is always first one and frankly speaking ZMR is most lovable bike in India. Its far better then Pulsar in power and handling the issues can be form its price tag as its cost more then other bike prices in India but over all bike is awesome as sporty look. I would recommend for ZMR

Go for what your heart says..ZMA is a great choice,its 223cc honda engine is very reliable,this is a very good Tourer bike,compared to P220 only only power is less but the reliable bullet-proof engine is a boon.P220 is the fastest Indian for a year or so then the engine & gears becomes rough & performance dramatically reduces.So just close your eyes & go for ZMA...you can also checkout ZMR..
