      Im sure others will give generous opinions about what bike you should go for, but I want to tell you that there is no perfect bike!

      You will always be left wanting something from whatever bike you buy!

        Go for the R15 dude...!!!!
        U wont get a better deal. Maybe a 10k more than ur budget...!!!
        Or wait for the reviews of the RTR180 to come out. ( though this may not suit ur height)

        But most important... Follow what ur heart says, not what ur mind says..!!!!

          Go for R15 because your wants are more concentrated on sports . I am not argueeing but shifting from p180 to apache 180 againg spending Rs 70,000 on a bike and still getting minor difference I think it will be waste
          or you can wait for new p220 !!!! but nobody nows it launching date

            i guess r15 is way too costlier(1.5 L)..it doesn't fit ur requirements ( budget) ....so u have ZMA..or NEW P220 or..existing RTR 180...

                The new 220 would be a bit difficult for u to handle in traffic with 5' 8" ....trust me .... its heavy... and u need a more place just to turn the thing around... again buying the zma will be an option but i think the p180 put out the same power as the zma...but its refinement is like none... well if u think u can handle it I can suggest only the 220 at this point....have a test ride...let us kno..

                  Buy a Hero Honda CD Dawn!

                  Kidding. Definitely checkout the new P220. I do not think you will have a problem handling the bike. In India they will never design a bike for someone taller than you!

                  Also check the new RTR 180. I also had a P180 and have almost decided on the new 220.

                    No .. it's on road ~1.1lacs in Bangalore and I don't think anywhere in India it's costlier than this, leave alone 1.5lacs.

                    If R15 feels big and hard to handle, I think other 180+cc bikes would feel same too.
                    R15 is the lightest bike in the category 120kg dry weight while P220/Karizma is in range of 150kgs(I may be of by +/- 5kgs). it has also got most compact dimensions and just see one without fairing, I saw one and I couldn't even think that it was a bike
                    Moreover as far as I know R15 is one of the best handler around and if you want anything more flickable then check RTR 160/RTR180 and I don't think it would be cramped up bike for you as written at many places. It also depends on your riding style, but I think it should fit you just perfect.

                      P220, RTR 180. Both are priced very close and both can give the Taste of Raw Power.
                      Go for the bigger bike you wont regret.
                      Never upgrade without getting your basics RIGHT.

                        R15 handles amazingly... You just need to get accustomed with its riding posture.
                        Otherwise new 220 is a good option.

                        PERSEVERE... failure is not an option!

                          Choose between a 2009 carbed P220 and HH Karizma.
                          HH Karizma (Current) || CBF Stunner PGM-FI || Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler
                          Honda Aviator || Kinetic Flyte || Kinetic Blaze || HH Splendor

                              If you can extend your budget to 1.1L, then go for the R15, else RTR180 is the next best bet.
