    What Bike Should i buy

    used a unicorn all my life.. sold it recently
    i have my mind set on p220 as a very powerful vfm bike..
    had thoughts abt the zmr,but considering the cost and availability of the spareparts,and after seeing the bike on the road,i dropped it..
    so r there any new arrivals in this month in the 200cc segment.. suggestions welcome..

      There is a naked version of the 220 called 220-S too, if that is what you are looking for.

        i used the 150cc gen 1 uni and was more than satisfied with it's performance..so lookin for alternatives above 150cc.. thought abt the 180's,but i'm 6.1 feet tall ..so rtr ruled out,and the 180 pulsar,looks from any other pulsar apart from minor details.. so thinkin abt the p220 dts-i,saw the 220 s ,but again will look like any other pulsar.. but is there any performance change among the 2 ?? r there any new commings? things i should know before i get the p220 (faults,build quality,etc)??

            If you think ZMR is expensive go for a ZMA-R, amazing bike, almost the same in performance as ZMR, comfortable riding and a very much proven bike many xBHPians.... i recently bought 1 and am more than happy with it.... Take a TD and check out the bikes personally as well...

              look no further than the P220...and if you're not impressed with the ZMR or Pulsars design or in any other respect,go for ZMA-R....if you dont like either of the three,I dont see anything on the horizon soon in the 200cc+ segment going by what we got to see in the expo...even the R15 makes sense here if you've looked at the ZMR

                  A good powerful VFM bike for daily commute would be a RTR180 or a P220. If u dont like 220's fairing, get rid of it and go for P200's fairing.
                  If u like smooth engines like Unicorn, i would suggest u to go for the zma or zmr. But if u can stretch till zmr do have a look at the R15. Much better product overall!

                    i would go for the r-15 any day if i was not 6.1 feet.. i guess anyone above 5.8 will be uncomfortable on it.. i know the zma-r is very good,but it's been more than 6years old now,so guess it leaves me with p220.. i like the faring and all of the p220,so any suggestions abt which colour to take and any pre delivery checkups,etc.. i'm inclined on blue>silver>black..

                          I don't feel there is any scope for any new arrivals in the 200 and 300cc segment. If you have a lot of budget and want a powerful, mean machine, there would be no competition between the r15,zmr and the p220.
                          Out of these 3 the comparison would be very lengthy and I suggest you read the reviews on Indian Motorcycle Reviews & Bike News - **********.in by Deepak Raj. They are very informative and unbiased.

                          If you want 100% speeding, blindly go for the r15. The perfect choice.
                          Else if you want performance and more of a tourer bike , the zma is good but its not actually worth its 1lakh price tag.

                          The p220 offers the above characteristics at Rs. 25000 less but it also carries the inherent negatives of bajaj like lose of control, engine probs after 1-1.5 years of use
                          Reduce 1 km/hr speed, add 1second 2 ur life.

                            I agree to Vinchel

                            The pulsar 220 dts-i is the best bike you can get in a very good price. But if your priority is Durability, then go for R15 or Karizma.

                              It looks awesome and classy..
