    i suggest you go in for 220, the zma or the zmr doesn't look like a well finished product as of now. and the fastest Indian offers you a lot already

      Go for Zma-R

      @hondarider : As a wing rider, you may not like Pulsars, especially, the engine refinement, seating posture, suspension, gearbox etc etc. You can close your eyes and go for present Zma-R, b'cos the new Zma will be priced in par with new features it would sport (assume strict hike of min. 10K for PGMFi) etc etc etc !!
      Whether HH will stop present Zma-R or not it's not clear, if they close, there will be many people who would still prefer non-Fi Zma-R, so weigh options and decide.
      > If your budget is tight at 80K, then go and book Zma-R.
      > If money is not a problem, then better wait and then take a call.

        @vipin_s: Have you ridden the new 220? Or the Zma-Fi?

          Last week end (sat), I had test driven the new P220 .... In fact I went along with my friend who already has P220 DTSFi, even his opinion was 'not impressive'.
          I have no idea about Zma-Fi, I just recommended Zma-R (the present one), according to me it's still a good bet in premium segment.

          It's just my opinion, if it's offensive please delete the post. Thanks.

            zma is the best

            well zma has stood as a proven and reliable bikes for more than a decade. and many persons who have used the older 220 and karizma have felt that karizma is a winner in long term when it comes to maintenance, stability, i am not talking about mileage here. i feel the current zma with R looks are not tht good as compared to the older karizma. i feel its worth waiting as zma will as always prove itself

              First of all, define "impressive". A Fi owner will most definitely feel the lack of the torque that in the DTS-i; having said that, if your friend has ridden the new DTS-i properly, he will appreciate the better gearing and handling. The new DTS-i is more peaky and hence the rush of horses is at the top, starting from mid range.

              ZMA-R is a good bike no doubt...but to call it the best deal in the market is incorrect...
              Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

                      well...for starters, I never dis-respected your statement. I will not even try to explain it. For those who have seen and taken it correctly, I am sure they will understand.

                        I dont think most of these people have gone to a HH service station to check out the prices of their spares. One of the main reasons i stayed off the ZMA.

                        Though P220 ought to give more trouble in the regular run, i believe its overall a much cheaper bike to own and run.

                        And finally going the by Honda's pricing on the Stunner and their old Glamour Fi the ZMR is sure to cost you more or less the price of the R15. And yeah the P220 is not going to as refined as the Honda during the long run. Also the ZMR has better seating position for touring.

                            Hi Jasmeet

                            If the news is from TATIBANDH, it must be true, so my wait time again increases. Am no more good to be patient, going to buy ZMA.....

                                The guys who posted them was chased by Hero Honda ... as it was their premises where he snapped them by trespassing. Now, the pics are gone from net...

                                I will say that get all information about ZMR before you go for it.

                                Remember Unicorn? Hero Honda went ahead, did some cams change for 1.1 more bhp on it, and the result --> CBZ Xtreme and Hunk are not as smooth as Unicorn.

                                We still know HH has no R&D Department. I'm not saying it would be bad. I'm just saying that get all information before you proceed...
