I have no idea about Zma-Fi, I just recommended Zma-R (the present one), according to me it's still a good bet in premium segment.

It's just my opinion, if it's offensive please delete the post. Thanks.
First of all, define "impressive". A Fi owner will most definitely feel the lack of the torque that in the DTS-i; having said that, if your friend has ridden the new DTS-i properly, he will appreciate the better gearing and handling. The new DTS-i is more peaky and hence the rush of horses is at the top, starting from mid range.

ZMA-R is a good bike no doubt...but to call it the best deal in the market is incorrect...

well...for starters, I never dis-respected your statement. I will not even try to explain it. For those who have seen and taken it correctly, I am sure they will understand.

I dont think most of these people have gone to a HH service station to check out the prices of their spares. One of the main reasons i stayed off the ZMA.

Though P220 ought to give more trouble in the regular run, i believe its overall a much cheaper bike to own and run.

And finally going the by Honda's pricing on the Stunner and their old Glamour Fi the ZMR is sure to cost you more or less the price of the R15. And yeah the P220 is not going to as refined as the Honda during the long run. Also the ZMR has better seating position for touring.

The guys who posted them was chased by Hero Honda ... as it was their premises where he snapped them by trespassing. Now, the pics are gone from net...

I will say that get all information about ZMR before you go for it.

Remember Unicorn? Hero Honda went ahead, did some cams change for 1.1 more bhp on it, and the result --> CBZ Xtreme and Hunk are not as smooth as Unicorn.

We still know HH has no R&D Department. I'm not saying it would be bad. I'm just saying that get all information before you proceed...
