    Topic approved, but you should give more details. What exactly are your priorities?

    Looks are totally subjective. Choose what your heart likes, and that's it.

    Among these bikes, the overall Engine performance (including low end torque) is most probably strongest in Pulsar 220.

    Chassis is again subjective. Some like it hard for the racetracks/ good roads, some like it softer for the normal roads.

        pulsar 220 has good performance as it is has more cc's
        R15 and cbr are almost same, cbr has more mileage than r15 by 5-10kmpl which makes no difference but cbr takes the lead when compared perfectly.

          My frnz told me that 220's engine starts to give some problems may be around after 2 years... Is This Right????

          I quit for cbr150r bcoz i think its not worthy to buy....

                My own P220 is almost 3 years and 38k km old. And all it needs is a service every 5k km to keep on going from strength to strength. Does your friend also own one?

                Which racetrack are you planning on racing? Noida ? Channai ? or Coimbatore ? Because street racing is not something that xBHP approves of. If the intended use of the bike is in fact something else, please do share in more detail.

                Also include details like:
                Monthly Usage City (km)
                Monthly Usage Highway (km)
                Estimated no. of Track Days/year.
                Expected FE
                Your Height
                Your Weight
                Your budget

                Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                  r15 v1 gives 40-45 city
                  r15 v2 gives 35-40 max in city as 5 kg extra kerb weight and big rear tire 130 n in v1 it was 100 i think and pillon seat of v2 is higher
                  +5 for highways in both

                  i cant say more about 220 as all my friends having 220 are not satisfied with it maybe because they perform stunts and get least mileage.

                  R15-on road racing then 220
                  Duke-off road racing
                  price 220 around 82k
                  r15 1.21
                  duke 1.32k
