Start up each n every bike, listen to the engine, rev it up a bit , observe the body for any scratches/damage.

As per the specs of the 220 it is said that it has clutch which comes from HONDA, so is it as smooth as the unicorn's or tad different ????

Congrats man. Post some pics.

About selection, any one should be fine there is nothing you can really find in 10 mins. Look mainly for scratches and no tyre wear. Also look for engine that does not sound so different if you are allowed to start.

For the Pulsar 220 DTSi, if you can start look if the engine idles for more than a min and select one with lower fairing vibes.

all new completely enclosed clutch supplied by FCC Riko (a Honda company no less!). gear shifting is to smooth.

@Arun: I think its time to bring in the rain...

Go all guns, fire the Khivraj guys left right and center. They are definitely upto something fishy, coz this RTO approval story has gone too far too long.

Demand for someone who sits higher up than the salesman. Demand for explanation that why a big city like Bangalore gets this bike later than so many other smaller cities...
