          ZMA is for 85k onroad. P220 FI (fastest Indian) is around 75-80k onroad.
          RTR180 is around 80K (best deal acc to me).
          OR
          wait for new ZMR.

                  hey...new bike for Anup...try the RTR 180 and then the others...

                  220 and ZMA, both are reliable and should not cause any worry. BTW...wrong of me to recommend this but how about the TBTS...
                  Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

                    shadowboy: I think going there with 2-3 guys on 14th seems a good idea.That way you can enjoy a day more as well as make the hotel bookings and all.

                      Amboli GhatAmboli Ghat......Nestled comfortably in the midst of luxuriant foliage on the SahyadriMountains in southern tip of Maharashtra and perched at a height of 710m above sea level it is relatively tranquil and uncluttered by commercialization and unfolds a charisma that appeals to the heart and the soul. This hill station in Sindhudurg district is said to be the wettest in Maharashtra, receiving the highest rainfall (approx.7446 mm) during the rainy season





                      Colonel Westrop, who was a British political agent, developed Amboli as a hill station after the opening of the Ghat Road from the coastal town of Vengurla, now in southern Maharashtra, to Belgaum. Amboli is situated on Vengurla-Belgum state highway no 112 in Sindhudurg district. The population is @ 3000. The main road is lined with shops and small restaurants of all shapes and sizes that form the main bazaar.











                      Though Amboli is emerging and is famous as a hill station, not many know that this place is extremely rich in Herpatofauna, wildflowers and birds. Home to myriad species of Amphibians, Amboli is a must visit place in monsoon for all the nature enthusiasts.The star attraction here are the wonderful array of reptiles that includes Malabar Pit Viper, Green Keel Back, Banded Racer, Olive Forest Snake, Beddome's Keelback Snake, Green vine Snakes, Shield tail snakes, Deccan-banded Gecko etc. While in Ambhibians, the Malabar Gliding Frog (Rhacophorus malabaricus), Amboli tree frog (Philautus amboli), Wrinkled frog(Nyctibatrachus humayuni), Koyna Toad (Bufo koynayensis), Beddome's burrowing frog, Criket frog, Fungoid frog and the Caecilians will take your breath away.





                      Amboli is also a hot spot for the variety of wildflowers that bloom in monsoon onsadas(the local name for lateritic plateau). It is also a heaven for wildflower enthusiasts with some rare plants recorded here.







                      The Birds, though difficult to see in monsoon is well represented with Scarlet Minivets, Puff-throated Babblers, Brown-cheeked Fulvettas, Red-whiskered & Yellow-browed Bulbuls, Crimson & Crimson-backed Sunbirds, Leafbirds and many of the Western Ghat endemics.





                      Beautiful insect life dominate the surroundings with all sorts of bettles, bugs, lantern flies, butterflies, moths, spiders and what not. Surely, this is one place which you wont like to miss.

                        @Ketan: Oye tu nahi aa raha kya??
                        Those people who tell you not to take chances
                        They are all missing on what life is about
                        You only live once so take hold of the chance
                        Don't end up like others the same song and dance
