In kerala no problem for the spare availabily as TVS have strong presence in south India

The zma is way better than rtr 180 and p180,one of the smoothest engine among Indian bikes,but heard that there is a long waiting period for the spare availability.check out with ur dealers/friends owing zma.our fellow xbhpian had to wait for more than 3 months for fairing of his zmr.The spares are expensive so u should take good care of ur bike.

Bro i own an rtr 180,itz a fun to ride machine.the vibes are present in 5k range after that it is smooth. The vibes are very much bearable and u will love the vibes once u own the bike.

thanks a lot for replying
here in delhi zma will cost me almost 10k more then rtr180 and give me a mileage of around 35 i guess in comparison to 40 of rtr
so is it worth to spend those extra 10k n get 5km/ltr less in mileage...

Do you think cost of spares for zma is on higher side???
and how much you spend regular servicing and all???

@ dushyant123
how is your experience with your pulsar 180 (2010) buddy

Please test ride the bikes. None of them are tobe called as BAD! as long as long as you maintain them well. Cost of spares are highest for ZMA and availability is very poor Indeed. TVS comes second and the cheapest parts are of Bajaj. Any specific time for buying the bike??

Fine then.

Has any bike till now, to which, you have 70% of buying chances. Figure out them, so that, we could help you better. Personally, I feel test ride the bikes and then cut down the list.

as far as riding experience is concerned i hav experienced almost every bike from yezdi to p220 (except cbu's)
i was going for p180 initially but after some time white color of apache started killing me slowly and its unique looks but now m fed of reading about those vibes everywhere in apache ownership thread....
now pulsar is again entering in my mind...

**dushyant123** · 12-15-2010, 10:31 PM

@naveen
my experience with my p180 has been great....
if fills all my needs of touring and occasional ripping...
and gives me piece of mind...
had just one problem in 11 months and 16000kms (changed starter motor)....
but i also admit, apache rtr180 is more fun to ride...
P.S.-one thing that made me buy p180 was its exhaust note!!!! Its great!!!

They are not costly considering their Quality... i spend only on Oil and regular service around 300-350 at every 1500-2000 kms...
