    if tyre is what matters, how about this one:



    Its sirac 120/90 on caravikiran's p220(also known as tractor tyre here in hyd xbhp cirlce)

    PS: I am not too sure whether it will help improve the breaking, better talk to caravikiran. And ofcourse our experts here can also add some thing on this.

        @ krkk: Yes, it will improve brake timings (60-0) ... Grip increases brake timings easily, as Confidence on tyres is a practical factor... This comes from Personal Experience!

        --
        @ Ansh "the Razor": I think you should go for R15 with FZ16's tyres ... The rear one atleast, as it has a Radial Tyre ...

        As both have 17" wheels, tyres should be replaceable ... and performance won't be affected much at all - say Top Speed might come to 126-124 kmph (Real) and that's it ...

        Reg. Lower end Punch, it's not too bad, You'll get used to it ... No big problem! go for it ... or do Test Drive it atleast ...

          I have ridden P220 and recently rode R15 also. I would like to make it clear that according to my experience R15 is much more fun and enjoyable than everything else that other Indian motorcycle manufacturers provide as of today. Someone here said that after P220, R15 might feel less powerful or stressed or something like that. No, not at all. R15 is faster and quicker than anything else available right now. Its light, have wonderful chassis and suspension and comes with yamaha engineering. Its better than P220 anytime, especially in this situation.

          When I rode R15, I found it to be fast enough from the very bottom and didnt find any lack of power in its lower mid range (I have ridden ZMA for more than 4 years)

          So if you can safely go for R15 if u want to...u'll have much more fun on it than u ever had on your P220!

            Yes. It was gifted by my elder brother to me and ma young bro in Ranchi. I cant take it to my college in Nagpur.
            So, am looking for another SBK may be R1 or CBR in the January 2009, if R1 2009 release then that would hit my college by me

                seriously though u may have ur reasons to sell the 220 but if u are gonna buy an SBK for college use...buying another 220/r15 doesnt amke much of a practical purchase..might as well invest the additional 40 grand into accessories for ur newSBK..im sure unless ur 220 is really useless with engine problems it shud run for another 15000km with giving u many problems..
                better compromise here than while buying ur SBK..
                get new tires for the grip related issues

                  Its disappointing.
                  So 13 lakh for R1 is best?
                  I mean can I have more options than R1 or CBR 1000RR? Like fz1 naked or so?

                    it solely depends upon you buddy if you like naked bikes then you must buy FZ1 mt01 mt03 if not then you can try out r1 but the thing is that r1 is becoming common[no offence] you can try out ducati 848 or 1024 or r6

                            Ansh_Razor: 1stly, ur welcome

                            2ndly: Dude!! If you can wait, then wait is the best you could do. Enjoy the Karizma to the max until you get sufficient funds(which btw doesn't seem to be a problem for you).
                            In the interim you could do some much needed research and zero in on say like 3 or 5 SBKs and tell us those choices. Who knows maybe you might become a convert and get hooked onto tourers. Lol.
                            Its better to make a well informed decision when you're planning to invest such a huge amount of moolah, irrespective of whether you have the funds or not. After all money is money, once gone it doesn't come back, right!

                            Just a little advise from my side. Sorry if i may have offended you. Anywho, all the best again!
                            10 Commandments:
                            1)Thank thy God for being alive.
                            2)Thou shalt respect one's own life and the live's of other road users.
                            3)Thou shalt respect one's own bike.
                            4)Love thy bike as thy self.
                            5)Always wear safety gear.
                            6)Alcohol is a strict NO!
                            7)Thou may lust after thy neighbour's bike specially if its of the R1 kind!
                            8)Thou shalt ride with 'ultra-most' care and caution when on Indian roads.
                            9)Thou shalt never leave the engine running at long traffic halts.
                            10)Thou shalt follow all of the above.
