    Query Approved

    Neither will be a power upgrade, but handling and refinement upgrade it will be for sure.

      Between these two r15 is a big no for you as it will not suit your 6ft tall frame. You'll feel uncomfortable even in short runs. So, cbr150 is your option. But you will not be amazed by its performance as you are currently using p220 and it is a better performer itself.

        Would advice you to wait for the RTR 200,Launching this April.

            Why Not ? They offer better build Quality than the Bajaj.It's very near to Honda and Yamaha.Honda's Maintenance are unreasonably expensive.Much more than it's Japanese rival Yamaha who offers similar Quality.In Performance,The CBR and the R15 is a downgrade from what you are currently owning.You might feel very uncomfortable on the R15.The RTR offers the same power but seeing by that 8K RPM Mentioning,They seem to have squeezed the powerband inside so that it feels like you are riding a faster bike,Nobody knows though.The First ride reports also says that the Vibrations have been drastically reduced,So much infact it feels a bit more relaxed than the 200 NS.

            I say,TVS is one proud company to call for ourselves as an 'Indian' Bike Manufacturer.Bajaj and Hero too are great,But IMHO,I don't think they can defeat TVS.

                Consider R15S. Has all the qualities of the R15 and a comfortable pillion seat(which was lacking in R15 V2.0). Is having decent power to see you through the city and highways.
                Now, don't get me wrong. Performance does not mean increase in CCs and HPs only. In involves all the aspects of biking. Like comfort, handling, refinement, safety, quality, after sales service and things like that. A 150cc will surely not give you more power than a 200+ cc. But can be better in other aspects.
                A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

                    Hi heman... I think you should give a thought for the cbr250r as it meets all your requirements. I am a bit unsure if it is strictly under 1.5lacs or not but incase it isnt then pulsar rs200 is what you should think about....both the bikes would an upgrade in terms of handling, refinement and looks....as far as power upgrade is concerned rs200 would upset you as it is almost the same as p220 with almost same accelaration and top speed but cbr 250r is surely a deal breaker in this field too with quite more powerful engine to amaze you at high speeds... Ride safe bro...☺

                        Ok..now first lemme tell you..only bhp doesnt tell u everything then there is torque which is more...220f is no better in performance but rs200 cant be an upgrade...got my point and specofically if u are not going above 100kmph then definity not....ofcourse in terms of handling and looks its ahead..thought personally i hate rs200 looks and also so many niggles with it right now....go for cbr250...its an UPGRADE....trust me...
                        Pulsar 220 a legend in itself currently has no proper upgrade under 2lacs...so ur only bet is cbr250....

                            Save more money and get the cbr or go for another bike within your range.

                              The KTMs are surely an upgrade below 2 lacs. Specifically the duke 390!
                              Why recommend a bike that is outdated in India where as the rest of the world has its updated CBR like looks!
                              Also coming from the 220 anything on two wheels will feel smoother.

                              Any 220 rider will never be satisfied with a 150 cc bike, no matter how good it handles. Go for the dukes and you won't be sorry. But if budget is a problem, I would recommend you stick with your 220.

                              And if you bought you 220 based on looks only, go with whatever makes you feel good.

                              Like the key in my DP.
                              That's why it's called the "key to happiness".
