        Some how ZMA is a perfect vfm, but decide after taking test rides of all the bikes ..

              I just wonder what happiness people get by speading a rumour.
              FYI, I have seen the RTR 180 already. So your news has no grounds. I'm sorry I cant comment anythimg about that bike here.
              There is no Taurus and that was only a prototype 5 yrs ago during the expo.
              Please get your sources right.

                    Like I said, I cant quote anything about the bike here. It will be out in another 5-6 months for the release however.

                      3. Will be touring, possibly on all types of roads.

                      Options:
                      1. Pulsar 220....Looks perfect for me. bt i am cross with Bajaj service n quality.
                      2. ZMA....Too long in the tooth.
                      3. R15 !!!...wl, difficult to resist .

                      Budget:at the most R15.(Just got an appraisal at THE JOB)
                      plz dont suggest a RE.
                      My suggestion based on the experience of the above mentioned bikes would be in the following mentioned priority

                      2.P220
                      3. R15

                      For mix of both city and touring
                      1. P220
                      2. R15
                      3. ZMA

                        just my curious, where did you see the menace? and where did you get the information about taurus that it is just a prototype?
                        just want to know the sources. will try to get my information clarifid by the person who told me this.

                          ^^he has seen it so no question of source,and i believe he himself is a good source to know something real about TVS.

                            ^^i agree that joel himself is a good source. i am not questioning that. the information i got was from the TVS guy at the manufacturing plant in hosur.
                            just wanted to know how he had seen MENACE. i too visit the TVS often so there are few guys who keep telling me about the plans and bikes. but they are not completely into R&D or production.

                            @joel
                            i am sorry if i have put my words in a wrong way, which i never meant it to be that way.

                              Ninja for touring, you got to be kidding,

                              if its about billiard smooth roads, then perfectly fine, else...

                              ride 220 & 'zma and take a pick

                                ^ individual opinion differs mate. what do you think? i wouldnt mind baby ninja for touring. GIR went well, or ask ken da on his r1 touring... and if it is bout touring then why suggest 220? anyways he wouldnt cross R15 price margin so its not bout him anymore.

                                i think what @saji_rossi would have had posted in first post is why he bought the UG3 at the first place and why is he going in for a change?
                                i have 06 180 ug3. i bought it for its edgy power gain, compromising on mileage, comfort and handling! a pure drag savvy choice.
                                and now if i were to change, would i be satisfied in having a 200 or zma with baby ninja around the corner? think not. but as i said, its all a personal opinion.
