    Definitely male

    I'm currently riding my good old P180 classic. I bought this because at that time this was one of the best bikes available. I recently picked up a comet for my liesure rides. I can't think of anything good to replace my P180 with, any suggestions are welcome.

    CHEERS,

    PEACE

            P220 (Oct 2007)

            P220 DTS-Fi (Oct 2007)
            (Previous bikes: CBZ (1999), Second Hand RX100)

            Even if I am not that big, I wanted a bike which had a Big Bike Feel with Good Torque and Pick Up.
            Was actually looking at the P200 (I still drool at its perfect proportions)
            The Karizma was old (not even tubeless tyres) and that new R stickers did not do the trick for me.

            Took a test ride of the P220 DTS-Fi.. was very impressed with its ample torque though out the rev range.. Ultimately bought the bike.

            Later I found out that the Projector Headlamps the design of which I did not approve totally (I still think that the design doesn't gel totally with the rest of the bike) were as bright as a car headlamps..!!

                Apache RTR Refresh

                Launched on the day i got money from my dad to purchase a new bike.
                Earlier had a CBZ star. It matched my requirements in almost every way except it had little less performance and P220 was unavailable(No Probiking here). Went to the showroom and purchased the first bike in Chhattisgarh.
                Never upgrade without getting your basics RIGHT.

                  Yamaha "racing death" 350

                  i bought the bike because the car does not satisfy the need . besides the vulnerability and exposure of a bike made me actually realise how dangerous and yet exciting speed can be.
                  I DONT GET ANGRY.
                  I GET EVEN.

                    am riding a Karizma R these days.
                    Reason---wanted a bike that was comfortable, good bhp(thou nothing is enough), Capable of going over 100with ease, Stable in cornoring/crusing.
                    had a Pulsar 150 dtsi earlier, but was not very happy with the speed and Stabilty factor.
                    also, could afford any imported bike as of now, may be few years down the line, but as of now..KARIZMA RULEs!
                    Its not about the BHP or the CC, its about one common religion called Biking!!!

                    Save the Tigers! Only 1411 (excluding ME) are left!

                          at the time i bought my 150 v1 things were full of tension i wanted a bullet std, my dad wanted to get me a 100 or 125 cc machine,after many long discussions we finally came to a neutral point the P180, but a stupid service centre guy had a chat with my dad and dad learned the the 180 wasent a very economical maching so...finally after a few more long discussions we got the 150..and from day one i fell in love with my bike...even today when i see my standing the the parking lot i just cant resist taking her for a spin..

                              My first Bike was a TVS VICTOR

                              I was 18 when i got the bike. I had no other options that time where in i had saved around 10k from my part time jobs and couldn't afford 2000 rupees for the EMI payment for the Pulsars and CBZ's.

                              I went to a near by showroom booked the TVS Victor - Didn burn my pocket. A affordable EMI of 1000 rupees + mileage more than 70 KMPL

                                just booked a pulsar 180
                                previous bike: pulsar 180 classic
                                why p180 again : liked my old pulsar, though scary ride it was , and p180 is far better than 150 cuz its got more torque

                                though it should be noted that my old p180 was a high maintenance bike :-( , i just hope this new one is not...
