Topic Approved.

First Inquire about service availability.I think Pulsar 220 makes more sense due to few bhps more as well as cheaper spare prices,service centre network. Does TVS Bikes like Apache RTR180 is available in Nepal?If Yes,consider that too.

booked my pulsar 220dtsi

R15 is an excellent bike rather than pulsar 220dtsi..
if u wish to strech ur budget than pulsar...

If money is not a problem, go for the r15.

@shubham bhai if you have the extra money get the R15, it s a really advanced bike and with the Fuel injection it will not run out of breath in higher altitudes, you being from Nepal must intend to go over quite a few hills there right!? Which city/town in Nepal are you from? I love your beautiful country btw.

the wider tyres on a P220 will be much better in the hilly roads. I have been to nepal twice but that was 10+ yrs back dunno about road conditions now, when i was there, some highway had washed away with the floods for 100km at a stretch, so it was all offroad. R15 tyres are not very good for offroading. The Fi though will be a boon though on the hills/high altitudes.

My sincere advice is, get a Karizma ZMR / P220 DTS-Fi if roads are like what i mentioned above. Fuel injection will mean a lot less of trouble in the high altitudes. Or if local mechs are good enough with tuning carbs for high altitudes(which they should be), go ahead, save the money and get the P220 DTSi

All the Fi bikes are in the same price range, wider tyres in Pulsar / Karizma are better I feel for the terrain.

P.S.: Nepalese govt. is looting the public, I got my P220DTSi for half of what you have quoted here... 78,220INR On road nasik.
