My vote will go for the p220 dtsi as it offers great value for money with good, looks great performance where it could lack is build quality and the handling cannot comment yet as I am yet to ride one. Next option would be anyone of the FZ series the positives of which are phenomenal looks and handling, it feels like it was custom built for a city with the negatives being it's not fast on a straight line. I personally am not too big a fan of the Karizma and the RTR 180 somehow lacks the X factor and does look a lil puny.

i suggest u go for the new apache rtr 180 good looks and solid performance...karizima aint coming for the next 2 months and it will be priced near r15..since you havent mentioned the r15 in your list i think its out of your budget then so does ZMR...fazer and FZ both have killer looks but average performance...regarding fastest indian outdated looks but freshed up with better performance...so RTR

'You are not a big fan of Karizma' means?? Will this mean Mr. Ankur should not consider Karizma because you do not personally like it?

Karizma FI will definitely have more than 19 bhp power. With the famous PGM-FI technology, it would be very nice to ride than Fazer and RTR180. Even the current Zma is better than FAzer and RTR180 (I am not speaking about those new technologies, monoshox, digital speedo etc.)

RTR 180 is good on performance front, but it will have vibes at higher rpms. The Fazer though looks stunning and has all goodies, it still has a 150cc mill, which cannot be compared with any of the above three bikes. It is purely your choice. Test ride all of them and decide.

P 220 or RTR 180 rest all are trailers, check them any one may be fine for you.
