I understand your point.
P220 : Though it is an old horse, you won’t regret your decision anytime. Also ABS models have been launched I think so.
Even if Bajaj tries to stop this model, they were not able to do it, since its sales were in decent numbers.
You have already mentioned you are not into NS and RS. So not talking about those models.
But kindly avoid buying an used 220 or any performance machines.
It might have been modified, rashly driven by youngsters. (Again not generalising)
RTR200 : I own one. Decent low and mid range. Good parts quality compared to 220. Has a dual channel ABS, Slipper clutch, and that digital display gives number of info.
About vibrations part, no, there are no vibrations like RTR160 and 180.
It is so smooth and I enjoy every rides.
But since you mentioned service people has ruined your RTR180, I’m thinking twice to suggest you a TVS bike. Though TVS makes good products, some of their service people are not so well trained. They just ruin a good running machine. This issue is not limited to TVS service alone.
But, pillion comfort is better in 220F.
Since you are a family man, I suggest you to get 220. Maybe you will need pillion comfort in future.
It has good power to commute either in city or in highways.
220 also has a comfortable seating position compared to RTR.
You won’t go wrong with either of these motorbikes, however your priorities matter here.
Since I’m not yet married and pillion comfort is not a deal for me, I chose RTR200. I’ll be riding mostly within city limits and rare trips with friends.
Take someone as pillion and test ride both bikes. Make sure what is your priority list and then choose one.
