    Time for upgrade

    My trusty Avy turned 27K, and now i feel the need to upgrade.
    Priorities (in reverse order)
    1.Mileage
    2.Price
    3.Looks
    4.Performance
    5.Reliability
    6.Touring Cred

    Off late I have been a lot exicted about the ZMR, which would cost around 1.07L OTR- Hyd

    On a second thought at that price I can either go in for a Bullet(Electra-5S) or a P-220 and still save some amount of money for the K2K trip early next year.

    However one thing that puts me off Bajaj is the shady service they provide.

    Bottom line:I am confused & need a lot more gray cells than my brain can muster to get over the issue..

        Aditya, I don't see a point for your confusion.

        Keep your Avy or buy a ZMA R.

            Didnt you ride a TBTS? IMO its the moost comfortable tourer ever... and the most reliable RE..
            Advice is a form of nostalgia.
            Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                  If zmr is costly, go ahead with Zma-R.

                    if u go 4 the zmr you need to be patient cause delivery would minimum take 2-3 months..

                      The point of Confusion is not about keeping my Avy or seeling it.(it will be kept)
                      It was about the Reliability... & I believe it will be a Red/White ZMR or a Red P-220 to choose between..

                          If I have to keep my Avy and if I am 27 or below I wouldn't look at either of the options you have listed. And even if you have to decide between only those two, I would pick up the former. I assume you are NOT speaking about the P220 DTS-Fi.

                            Test rode the ZMR & fell in love with it.
                            Also checked out the R15 today(just an afterthought & compared riding back to back with my friends Zma.) nothing like the ZMA for touring.

                            Hopefully will have my 2nd Honda machine soon.
