        both of them are good but P220 has an edge IMO when it comes to trips etc etc...It's not like A180 is bad but P220 is a tad better....and both of them are VFM buys.Better have a TD of both the bikes and then decide...

          as your height is 5'11 and that ur preference is touring, i think the p220 will suit you... also its a VFM bike with a lot more goodies....
          pulsar 220 dts-fi clocks 145kmph!

              i have already done the test ride.Both are good.the pulsar is a little heavy,and the apache is on the lighter side.according to my friend..he says that i cant handle the bulky p220 in city.i dont agree with that.at present i am 75 for p220 and the rest for apache180.

                You test rode both the bikes na...so did you feel that you can handle the 220...for a 5'11 guy p220 is a perfect fit for you...apache is also good and it is lighter than than 220...only by 10ks or so...i suggest you go for the 220 anyday

                              Dude ;i got the delivery of my new p220 dtsi 3 days back.the handling is really great,but i dont think the rear disks are that effective.i havent really revved the engine as it is in the running-in,but i think it packs a punch.
