    Hey Satyen: How come P220 became a Sports BIke ?? isn't it a normal street bike with good features of liquid cool, dula disk and comfortable riding stance ??

    Good R15 is only for most of highway rides without caring for fuel and maintenance.

    Yes bro..even R15 comes with only one deeper lighting, and both upper lighting. But i made it same to deeper and upper from SVC itself.

It was nice but having used a tall bike for over six years, this will be a huge change. And it is also a bit long and I am not at all confident of taking it through the gullys of Ahmedabad.
    Turning radius of Avenger is more then any bike. It can't be flip falp when ever you want!! But i has super cool comfort too.
    Riding Avenger won't be a problem to you in any mean. It will give you more relax posture of riding and grip on road with pleasure of 220cc power!!!
    FZ is also Super Kool!!
    Is your gullies so thin that you can't turn avenger through it ??

    Love and fasination are two different words with great difference...
    think for your priority before buying it. You won't get all in one. The most is satisfied book that!!

      According to your needs & your love toward owning a Yamaha,I would suggest you to go with Fazer(ruling out FZ as you again & again said that you love competition white color in Fazer)..just go with the one you love so that later you won't have to regret while looking at someone else's Fazer..All in all its a nice bike for your requirements..

        Absolutely true!!

        @TS: But Frazer is some 7-8k more than FZ, i guess so!

        I would suggest FZ so that you can save some money and your work also gets done!!

        But as 111diablo111 said follow your heart!!

          Dude whats this?.. Have you ever seen the ad of a 220? lol.. It says''India's no1 sports bike''. Get your facts rite. Or just tell that it's your personal opinion. But till now as everyone has it. It is a sports bike. Atleast when compared with other bikes from the Indian market!! And since when have p200s incorporated LIQUID COOLANT?

            This is more amazing statement then previous Bro... Liquid Cool makes a bike a Sport Bike ?? Then Surely GT250r is not a sports bike, because it has air cooled engine!!

              gullies aren't that small but there is so much traffic that they become small. Some places, half the road is occupied by vegetable and fruit vendors.

              Thanks Diablo. True. I cannot afford to have any regrets after spending 70k on a bike.

              yaar, 80k and 88k both are expensive to me but in the long run, Fazer is just an installment or two more than the FZ. If for that, I can get a better looking bike (just my opinion. I am sure many prefer the FZ's looks) with my fav colors (CW, CG, LR), I will happily give a month or two more. Also, it is never going to stop with the bike's cost. This is my first 'decent' bike. So will be investing on proper riding gears and things that are needed for traveling. Expenses can be bad but I am going to make it motivate me to quit few habits that will let me save more.

                  I somewhat agree with your point of view, the Fazer is best off a comfortable street bike, with its soft compound tyres and underpowered engine, neither can it take offroading terrains nor can it comfortably cruise at 100kmph. The average speed on our highways is around 85-90kmph and FZ/Fazer start to run out of steam after 90. The torque is not sufficient at all, it badly needs a bigger heart to start with and yeah an extra overdrive cog too.
                  Fun Starts at Redline!!!

                          How cum you manage to take out such meanings from what ppl comment? Its not the first time am observing. Look. You were the one who told p220 had liquid coolant. I simply denied what you told. And never have i stated that a bike wit liquid coolant becomes a sport bike. I have that minimum sense required to become a member here. Let me make it clear. You were the one who told p220 has liquid coolant. I said it does not. Simple. In my prev post i said p200. Its a mistype. Its p220. What you had told.

                            Update : went with a friend to get the loan application done. Friend liked the Competition White so much he booked that (instead of the Cyber Green he was planning).. I gave a token amount of 5k and applied for a loan. Chose Midnight Black

                            this one :
