    Bike Choice Approved

    If you are looking at race replicas, do look at the R15 as well.
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      Simple

      Track Use = R15, RTR180
      Touring = ZMA, 220

      Hardcore touring with tonnes of saddle luggage=Bullet

      Guys please dont start a brand war here...each of these bikes are used by xBhpians for doing more than what they were intended to do

      Like R15 on tours, 220 and ZMA on tracks

      Anyway, you wont go wrong with any one of these.
      Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

        Each of the above mentioned bikes are so good in their own respects that it's really difficult to choose one.So decide upon by weighing various parameters which of course would be known after a proper test ride.

                Avenger 200 can be another option if you like cruiser bikes. It handles long tours and rough rides comfortably.

                    Please be more specific about your riding style&usage requirements.
                    I would suggest the R15 is budget is not a constraint. It performs excellently everywhere&is the best tech machine in India currently IMO!
                    Quench my thirst with gasoline!

                      You can blindly zero down to the top most performance bikes of each of the manufacture - since Money is not a factor for you....
                      For each of ur needs there are bikes available in market.....
                      The below mentioned are their Specialities...but they can perform other roles also....

                      P220.......If you wanna ride a fast bike
                      R15 ....... If ur an Racing enthusiast
                      RTR180..... If ur an City Racer
                      ZMA .......... If ur an Strict Tourer
                      GS150..........If ur an commuter and occasional Tourer

                        You can think of Mach V as well.
