      For some more money you can get the new 220 DTS-i or the RTR 180 . Both the bikes are being known for their power. So if you can stretch your budget a bit, go for the new p220!

          If you can stretch your budget a bit, please go in for the new P220. The reviews suggest its a hell-of-a-bike for city riding, as well as touring! Lots of power, plus at a very affordable price (for its specs).
          Not sure if its claim to being "THE FASTEST INDIAN" is true though, coz the top-speed figures of the R15 with the racing kit are not yet out!

          My views on the YZF-R15 V2.0: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/198...tml#post699240

          The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

            if you crave more for handling, braking and Rev hungry engine go for RTR-180 but also be prepared to get used to those Vibes,

            else i would suggest the all new Pulsar 180 for your budget- tried and tested--with lot new feature i had a test drive of the new pulsar and she is way smoother then her earlier cousins. not much but little better handling thanks to clip on and new tyres. and P180 definately has the punch.

            Go for it--worth buying it. P180 all the way keeping your budget in mind. if you can stretch P220. lot of features coming at lower price.

              If you are a tourer, go for P220'09 & If you love commuting go for RTR180...
              Though my choice would be the RTR180 for its superb power-generation & handling on corners, matters more to me coz am a cornering junkie...
              & I guess 180 will give you more mileage too, if you are looking for it!

              SO my choice would be RTR180...
              If i choose P220, it'll be only for the superb headlamps it got,

              ..So the choice is urs my friend...

                Among the three shortlisted, go for Karizma, it's 223cc, proven commuter(comfy + torquey) and tourer (good handling + ability to munch miles w/o any stress).

                      I'd say its a toss up between RTR180 and ZMA/P220 (both Carb and FI)!!
                      RTR will be more suited to city riding and more sports oriented, while P220/ZMA are proper man sized motorcycles, more than apt for Indian touring and city riding !!

                          If you have a strict 70k budget..
                          nothng better than the pulsar 180....

                          Also weigh it wrt the new apache 180....in price...
                          If its a difference of 1-2k between these 2 bikes...than consider both and take an informed decision....!


                          And if you can have the liberty of extending your budget to around 80k, nothing better than the new pulsar 220....!
                          2002 - Pulsar 150 Classic (Still owned)
                          2005 - Pulsar 150 Dtsi (Still owned)
