    Thanks all of my fellow xBhp members,

    I have decided to go with Either R15 or ZMR. Will get the new beast in my stable next year on Gudi Padwa :P
    I feel like Peter Parker when I drive my Hunk in the city but I become Spiderman when I am on my CBR swinging from one lane to the other on expressways.

    2011 & Present: Honda CBR 250R [Black Blade]

      Spoke to my friend who had a Karizma for 3 years and now has a Pulsar 220. He says that the Karizma is much more refined and reliable but enjoys the Pulsar more. He is impressed with the raw power, braking and the projector headlamps.

      All the best :-)

        Hmm so finally a faceoff between Karizma , R15 & P220.

          I would suggest the P220F.
          Its got ample torque and power, best headlights, comfortable riding posture, induces a big bike feel, extremely stable at high speeds.
          Looks are subjective- some love to love and hate to hate whereas others hate to love and love to hate.
          Even the zmr looks bulbous from some angles and the R15 too is a bit ugly considering the rearend.
          But frankly speaking looks depend on your likes and dislikes.
          Lastly it is excellent value for money, you could go for quality riding gear with the remaining money at hand.

          @C oberoi
          Ripping the bike doesn't leads to problem. Improper care and maintainence leads to niggles and that is the case with every bike, not just the P220.

                        @FTLutkarsh: You are right in saying that proper care and maintenance is necessary, however, if the bike is ripped, the overall performance of the bike is affected and this is applicable on all the bikes.

                          I got the Std Version (Non ABS) as I am not a bike ripper, with my present bike I drive at the speeds of 40-45 even on the highway so no need of ABS since I dont race or drag my bike insanely

                          The speed at which drive is easy to maneuver as well as to brake so Non ABS suits my needs and why to pay extra for the feature that I wont need

                          BTW the C-ABS version will cost around 2.15L so rather than going for that I'd buy a ninja

                              Dude you didnt get what I meant to say.

                              Well I said I booked a Std CRB not the C-ABS one. If I had to book the C-ABS one then I'd go for the N250R since its not worth it!

                                Right, indeed a good choice for your requirements. I would expect some pics and ownership experience after June END
