ya it looks good...but then dont you think..familiarity breeds contempt??? i mean its been around for a bit too long?

Long is an understatement i call mine "IMPALA"
220S (without the fairing) is a good option too, considering mileage also.

Yes, I know. But still, Karizma has no complete substitute.

Karizma has a torquey engine with 3 gears short ratioed, and 2 long ratioed, with the 5th gear being quite tall, a very good windscreen, an engine under low state of tuning and revving which remains cooler than the competition, useful grab rail to attach luggage, etc.

P220 might be a better performer and has well spaced gears too. But, when I tested the P220 Fi, it heated up very quickly. And my experience with non-Pbk Bajaj service was below average.


I would say you make an informed decision and if possible wait upto September end. Although yes, P220 is a substitute to quite an extent. I would suggest you to get the naked P220 which is called P220S. You will save about Rs. 4000 and 4 kgs of weight, for that large fairing.
