After loads of pleading and three consecutive hunger strikes,dad has finally agreed to sell off the mighty honda and buy 'himself' a bike!..to my surprise hes not happy with the ongoing conditions of motorcycling in India so couldnt have anything in mind except the p220 and the R15!..but now we are confused??

He would be riding it most of the times and his top priorities include comfortability and the bike's ability to move around easily in traffic and also should be able to overtake traffic with ease.
He doesent tour much(and i cant!!) so the basically it would be in and around the city.!!.FE isnt a problem until and unless he is happy with the bike!
What say guys??

ps-the 15 grand price difference isnt a problem though.

hi dude here is my answer for u
since ur dad is going to use most and u next to him so i prefer ur dad the zma though its not so fast as p220 it will not give u any riding discomforts and zma dude a bike u and ur dad will be unique on roads cos of his colour and more over provides comfort and power than other bikes except p220 and it also depends lik situation here in city traffic 150cc is best and cut through so look for r15 or else zma..................
if ur a million dollar baby(rich guy) means go for pulsarmaniap220..................
all the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Thats a very tricky question. Had it been a bike intended for you, I could have easily asked you to go in for anyone that suits your taste and comfort. Since the bike is for your Dad, there are other things that are involved in this decision...so lets look at it this way
Yamaha R15: Great bike, nimble, powerful and very reliable. May not really present you with a lot of torque low down (as compared to the 220). The seating position is sporty but comfortable; this may or may not be to your dad's liking.
P220: Great bike, raw power and torque. On the maintenance front, it may need more care than an R15. Frequent visits to PBK may not really be enjoyable. Handling is nice and seating is fairly sporty. The 220s seating posture may place more weight on the wrists initially till you find the correct position for your height.

All in all, if YOU were choosing a bike for YOURSELF, you would not go wrong with either of these. But for your dad, I would recommend the Karizma. Have a look at what all the ZiMA offers
HH Karizma (ZiMA): powerful and decent handler, proven reliability, quality is top class and you may not really require frequent visits to the service center. Seating position is very nice and you can actually much miles without feeling any fatigue.
Finally, I would recommend the ZiMA.
