    Since you are inclined toward 135LS, and your id also says so , go for what your heart says.

    P180 has tubeless tyres, better top speed, more weight & more stability but it also makes it maneuver in bazaar areas a little tough. This is my personal experience, after all. For city & traffic congested areas, 135LS is better choice as well as it gives you more FE(~10kmpl).

    If you plan long tours or more highway rides, I will suggest you 180UG4.

    Take test rides with both, ride it for 3-4km and specially in that place where you will ride mostly. This will give you better idea.

    If there is a mind-heart conflict, go for what your heart says.

    P.S. There is now P220S which you might give a shot too, if it suits your pocket. If you like 180UG4, you will also feel even better with 220S.

      Hey I am 5'8 and a fit person.
      I like to go for 135LS, but my inner heart says you will be missing out the beast
      Now I keep starring at all pulsar when I commute to work to see which looks good. Seriously P180 is sexy
      I think I have a split heart; half for 135 and half for the beefy look of P180.
      Today I am supposed to meet the dealer; but postponed it.

        machan i dint see your location .In chennai only few p135 compared to p180s if you like to have a unique bike(meant something less on roads) p135 if you are not alligned to such sentiments go for p180 eyes closed the beast is more sexy but that's my personal op0inion.P180 is the best for namma chennai traffic hope i see you surpassing the red(as you wpuld have done sevberal times on your rx) leaving behind our most soughted mama's(traffic police)heads down as shouting and i will think its you best wishes happy vrooming with p180(in your near future)

          P180 looks same as P150 as well as P220S. It is very common on any Indian road. Go for P220S then.

          You can also buy P135LS & P220S together.

            If you happen to like P180, then just go for it unless you are really concerned about mileage. Anyways, P180 should also give you 40kmpl. P135LS is real fun within city and it's good enough for one-day trips once in a while. On the other hand P180 might become handful in traffic, but it will show you what it is made of.. on a highway. Often, I wonder how just a 30cc (when compared to P150) makes a huge difference. P180 has got awesome ride, there is no question on it. If you think traffic in your area is manageable with P180, then why not go for it??

              Absolutely I have been a topper from the signals...so it would be so embarassing for me if P135 lets me down in this...thats my major reason for the confusions, seriously I dont have a problem with 40FE coz I had lived with that for 5 years with my Rx ..lol

                      X2, Go grab a P220 and call it a day. It's a bigger beast than p180, plus coming from 2stroke field you will love the initial pickup of p220.

                          Hey Guys !

                          I finally decided to go for P180 as I cant settle down for 135LS. I was unable to convince my heart to miss the 180, its so Musculine and Neat.
                          But the funny part is...somebody told me about the P220S and I was so confused to cho0se between 220S and 180; test drove the 220S and it was so smooth and nice and one hell of a pickup. But I dint like the servicing option of 220S as I need to go to Probiking showroom and I realized that its a performance bike and keep demanding some from my wallet.
                          So sticking with P180 ( I will paint the grab rail and handle in black )
                          I decided to meet the dealer tomorrow.

                              In that case you should change your xBhp id then.

                              You can request the mods to do that for you.
