Hi guys ,

2> I Love touring by car - have been to Darjeeling and Bhutan by car several times - I want to do the same on my bike
3> I don't care much for milage
4> I need something that looks awesome - I prefer Fully faired bikes the most and naked bikes the least
5> Budget is Rs.1,50,000/-
6> This will be my first geared bike
7> I am 5feet 8in
8> I will mostly be using the bike for commuting from home to work so I also need something that can handle traffic.

I don't understand how FZ16 popped up in your list when you don't like naked bikes.I think you were referring to the Fazer.and since you want a FASTER bike,the Pulsar 220 is the only worthy option from your list.The ZMR will be worth the wait though considering your budget...

Take off TBTS and FZ from the list

Go a head with P220., If you are a yammie fan go for R15..

I have a P220 DTSi, it's a good bike. However, I'd recommend you take a test ride on all bikes and then decide.

As for persistent rumors about ZMR, they are just that. It's a waiting game, if you're willing to play it, go for it, otherwise P220 is the best VFM in the market right now.

Yes, illusive ZMR fits to all your requirements (may be except the traffic thing) as it is supposed to :

- be fast

- be fully faired
- be good touring machine (ZMA DNA)
- be FI - which will help in touring specially @high altitudes
- be in your budget
- be never mind avg type too

- look really good

SO I guess, you should wait for that or else P220 also have almost every traits(except FI and Full Fairing) I mentioned above.

Go for the 220 dude. It fits your requirement.

ashishrajarora · 08-11-2009, 10:01 PM

Thanks for all your advice guys - Is the P220 going to handle well in traffic ? I will be using the bike 80% of the time for Commuting so that is very important ...

Wheel_Spin · 08-11-2009, 11:51 PM

If going fast in a straight line is your concern go for the P220 by all means. Twistys and such are an altogether different ball game and so is the smoothness of the machine. I would suggest you go get a TD rather than base your purchase of opinions.
