            First set your expectation/requirement and post it. Might help members to narrow down the choices. Also, do a search on this forum, there are members had similar questions and made their choice. Hope it helps.
            Bluntly starting a thread and asking to suggest among two different type of bike is doing no good to you nor others to help.

            Since you had not posted your introduction, we would like to know:-
            What are you doing? i.e student/working
            What's the purpose? commuting/touring or both
            What do you want? Performance/mileage
            What's your budget?

                In that case you can go for ZMR. The bike is a head turner for sure. But don't expect mileage above 40 and also the bike is heavy so you cannot flick through the traffic. Comparitively, in traffic the pulsar would require less number of calories to burn. Also spares for ZMR are costly. If you are OK with these then go ahead else stick to P180. P180 is a VFM bike anyday.

                  Working in IT sector and budget is not a problem, buy Ninja250R, you'll love it.

                  Harish, this guy works for IT sector and have admitted no budget constraints at all. ZMR though in production till date, spares are hard to come. P180 is good but comes with vibrations/etc,

                      I suggest P180 because you go for long rides rarely, and ZMR will outshine everything, on long rides only mostly... P180 should fare well on both city and highways.

                      BTW Why didn't you consider Apache RTR 180 which has great handling and good low end for city commutes? Plus its lightweight & high performing than Pulsar on highways too.

                      Or your can consider R15 too which in my humble opinion should provide you the best ownership considering your needs, Yamaha's service standards, etc.


                      @ SriramEFunds: Come on dude, please be practical. There's nothing like an unlimited budget, for anyone. Maybe he meant that he has an acceptable budget that shouldn't be a problem for buying the above 2 bikes.
