Honda Unicorn, Apache 180, P220, GS150 R, FZ-series
1st Oct 2009:
Went to Honda factory outlet to check out Uni & Stunner. Unfortunately I dint get TD, instead I was told ther was atleast a wait for 2 months to get a Ubi. I was desperate 4 TD so they directed me 2 a nearby showroom. I reachd showroom by 7pm & they were almost closed bt we requested & they happily allowed short TD of Stunner & Unicorn.
1)
Great low end torque, nice handling, lightweight feel, smooth flow of power.
2)
2nd Oct 2009:
For Eg: P220- 84k, RTR 180- 77k, Avenger- 79 k. Fz-S 79k
I was denied TD of any of the bikes. So left the showroom bit disappointed, but I knew I have a long day ahead for TD so I was much excited. so next we reached a nearby TVS showroom by 12.30 pm.
3)
Next we reached Bajaj showroom by 1.
Straight away went to d salesperson & asked for TD & to our surprise, he nodded yes immediately (may be he was impressed by FZ-S we were riding on)
OTR quoted was 81k with about 5 weeks waiting 4 Blue P220 which I liked.
Both Me & My friend were out of words for the overall package Bajaj has to offer. I was so inspires to book myself a P220 right away with lots of persuading my friend. But we somehow controlled ourselves & decided to complete TD of last bike GS150 after a short lunch break.
On the way 2 suzuki, we stopped by Honda & Hero Honda showroom & got TD of Stunner & CBZx. Nothing as impressive or worth mentioning. But we did get to see all new ZMR in HH showroom. We did ask 4 a TD but denied straight away. Anyways ZMR is way out of my budget so it dint matter.
After almost an hour of riding & negotiating directions, we reached Suzuki showroom by 4.00 pm
NO TD bikes available & hence my frnd was so upset on the salesperson coz yesterday he had personally confirmed the availability of GS 150 TD. Thanks to some requests by my frnd, the salesperson let us take TD of a new GS150. Again I went off 1st. However my frnd could not be my pillion since a Suzuki representative was with me. Started d bike, loved the goodies it offered. Felt nice acceleration(not as good as FZ though). Big bike though, so handling felt a bit uncomfortable (even my frnd felt d same on his turn of TD). Truly its an upgrade of Unicorn. Engine was super smooth, although I could not manage above 60 kmph in traffic.
End of the day: We reached back home by 6.45 pm & zeroed down our wishlist to P220, RTR 180 or any of FZ.
I Kno all about FZ since I rode it entire day so I would love to hear your inputs on P220 & RTR 180
P.S : I would continue with my doubts once my post gets approved since this post is getting too long & may be boring too
