Damn! I don't believe you can do that. Anyhow, a big Congratulations for booking the 2009 P220 DTS-i. When are you supposed to get the delivery? Have the showroom guys mentioned any dates? July, 1st week, in almost all probability?

@DHAIRYA: congrats a ton man. Now you must read COMMITTED (if not already) in your profiles on public forums, you got a girfrend! (Oops! I forgot, Definately male)

Dhairya Congrats buddy!

@dhairya-Congrats.The best decision that one can make at this point of time.

Although the decision has been made but this thread can be used as a good reference point in future for similar buying purchase decision so here are some points which I would like to add.

I agree with most of the points that Ricci mentioned and we both are very similar in terms of ownership of bikes. My Karizma is close to 5 years old and P220 will complete 2 yrs day after tomorrow.

P220
Positives over Karizma-
1) Stock Headlight
2) Better stability at cross-winds.
3) Loads of torque
4) Better quality plastics.
5) Better quality clip-ons which generally don't get damaged on minor to moderate fall.
6) Constant mileage even during high speed runs.
7) Better speed & stability in off-roading conditions

Negatives -
1) RVM. They don't deserve to be called RVM.
2) Fairing vibes.I'm hoping that they solved the problem in the new 220.
3) Rear seat uncomfortable in case of long rides.
4) Front heavy. Doesn't move easily on corners

I'm not adding any points for Karizma as Steve summarised pretty well.

On a serious note, thats bad, but at a constant ripping of 120km/hr. one cannot really expect 40 kilometres to a litre.

Aryan, Whenever on touring I almost maintain a constant speed of around 100 kmph. & I still get an average of around 40 kmpl. on my 1 1/2 yr. old ZMA, 26k kms done., Rider weight 60 kgs.
What I dont understand is that why people dont believe it, when someone services his bike around evry 1500 kms., puts a lot of Ks to maintain it in a very decent condition! Am in no mood of making a fool of myself on a public forum, specially here on xbhp. But If speaking truth n facts is making a fool out of me, then I cant help it, can I?
Am really very depressed for the first time on xbhp, seeing the way people reply sarcastically (sounds stupid to me) to someones experience & knowledge. Am not a pro, but not a noob either.
Sorry for going OT.
