  • R15/p220/zmr

    Hi xBHPians,

    I know this confusion is not new and I think its been discussed quite often already . So I am not sure if the mods will approve the query, but if they do I would appreciate it .

    I already went through the ownership/comparison threads from past several days/weeks for all three and ZMA too .. phewww the P220 thread was pretty long and thus covered only in parts.. So am aware of pro / cons

    However am still confused big time to select one out of this. So thought of opening a thread to welcome suggestion based on my preference/driving style

    I am 5' 8'' (173 cms) 69kgs. The bike would be used for daily office commuting around 30kms (which includes highway ) and occasional 200-600 km monthly trips in Maharashtra and surroundings. I generally take good care of my bike, maintain it well and drive in sane manner. However I do like to rip it on highways purely to enjoy the thrill of speed. (not to compete with anyone )

    Below are the main points am inclined/confused between these machines :

    P220 : Raw power, Attractive price tag, could get riding gears from the xtra money saved. Quite impressed with MTV stuntmania performance. However i feel its now bit old design n bit common

    ZMR : Proven tech & one of the best engine in class. Seems bit bulky and not quite rev friendly as I understood.

    R15 : A true sports machine in all sense. Recently refreshed V2.0. The only concern is pillion comfort (Though i would mostly ride alone but better half would accompany in weekends trips )

    I am bit more attracted towards R15 as have always dreamed of a sports machine and I think this would be my last chance to grab one as this could be my last bike.
    I was using Apache 150 (still have it @ my hometown) for 4 years. However I was away from riding from past 2 years as am overseas and returning next month. Due to my love for riding, I couldn't resist and started looking for bike as soon I got confirmation for my return and joined xBhp for that reason

    Looking forward to get some opinion/suggestion from owners and riders.
    I am yet to take test drive of these & I think that should sort out confusion a bit, but still a small test drive doesn't do justice to discard any of these option which are all best in their respective class.

      • if your better half approve r15 's seating position then you can go ahead.or else stretch your budget and buy duke or cbr.
        and the question remains why do i race?
        every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

        #i have learnt to manipulate my own adrenaline and the perception of biking is different.
        #overkill is underrated.
        #how random roads may appear there is always a destination.sigpic
        #i don't subscribe to co-incidence,either it is the rider or the other moron on the road

        (:)people keeps on saying add spark to life, bajaj got hold of that idea and added an extra spark to bike.
