Re: Upgrading from P220 to RE..wise choice?
If you're a high mileage user then stick with the P220, nothing beats it when it comes to rupee/km's, if you want something seemingly bigger and better then get the Honda CBR250R, as for the rest, proceed with caution provided your intended use in high mileage.
Other than the added benefit of a slightly better cruising speed and world of difference as far as handling goes the CBR250R doesn't offer anything that the P220 does in terms of touring, not to mention spare availability, after sales support and spare pricing is not something Honda's are well known for, especially when you come from a Bajaj.
As I've said before, Bajaj to the Enthusiast is like a Black Man to the White Woman and you've all heard, once you go Black, there's no going Back!
Jokes apart, having a look at my signature would give you a fair idea that I've already walked the talk.

I have 2008 P220. Anything would be an upgrade 
Update : Had a heated conversation with Absolute Honda, one of the dealers. Apparently my complaint has been pin pointed to just one dealer ( I quoted that dealer's 'test ride only on booking' comment). The agenda has now become that just one dealer has refused to provide a bike for TD.
I'm officially done with Honda now. Will be looking at other options. Any good sports tourer/ tourer if I spend around 3 lakhs maybe?

.. they JUST won't sell it to me , bottomline.. its actually that bad
and on our way back the himalyan gave up and we had to wait for almost an hour as something was bad with the carb and the guys tried to sort it out. yes there have been instances when Dominars have failed to live upto the expectations and even my bike gulped coolant like anything but neither was it mixing with the engine oil nor was it leaking i top it up now every time it gets a lil too low and apart from that it has been a wonderful journey with this machine. I definitely think that bajaj would look into the issues and the 2019 product will kill it.
