        Well, if you need a bike so that it catches all the eyes on the road, go for a Kawasaki 250R or maybe a Hayabusa or R1

        All the bikes you have listed are quite common now but they surely make heads turn

        I will try and help you with the information about different bikes you have listed.

        p220

        raw power, excellent acceleration and definitely the fastest Indian bike till date

        zmr

        Advanced technology (fi), extremely smooth and refined engine as it's a product of Honda

        r15

        Amazing handling, good looks and indeed the fastest bike in it's segment (150 cc)

        rtr180

        Sheer power and acceleration, sleek and the design allows you to cut the roads with traffic easily

        I hope this helps...

          make sure u get mrf tyres both front and back,Byre brakes both front and back,start the engine - let it idle for some time - race it a bit and see if ur getting any weird sounds from the exhaust - or krrrr sound from underneath the engine, check for scratches on the exhaust - check all electricals - and you can see the bike manufacturing date on the invoice u get

                  Welcome!

                  Why? Heart does not need explanation, but why your mind says Zma-R.

                      chintu2308: Only you will be able to decide what your heart desires. But if you want other inputs, you need to elaborate your requirements, usage, etc.

                      Btw, Yes, your mind is ticking the right signal. Zma is a proven work horse. Perhaps one of the most robust bike around and is known to outlast others given the same treatment.

                        Most modern Indian bikes can last as long as the Karizma. I feel Honda's are a bit hyped. If you dont care about engine refinement or noise....go for the RTR....its more fun than the zma.....i can tell you this since i have owned a ZMA in the past and now use the RTR 180

                            Thanks for replying guys..I weight 48kgs and i am 5'10...Will zma suit me?
                            I agree that any bike will last long if maintained and serviced at regular intervals..Yesterday my dad asked that whats the mileage of both.I replied 40-45 under sane riding and asked how much these bike sells..
                            AFAIK,HH sells 2500 units of karizma's (It was posted in news thread),don't know about how many do TVS sells.Do you have an idea? I will be buying within a week and i dont know which i will be buying..I will be riding mostly in cities.Is zma very difficult to handle in cities?
                            Do tvs still has problems like defective cone sets,magnet coil,engine overheating?And which is the best oil for both zma and apache?
                            Sorry for the long post.Please reply on all query and bear with me guys.I need you all.

                              Apache's engine is also quiet robust & can take beating but its more on a performance front so if you want a bike to do some mods on it & wanna drag with your friends then go for it, its engine can take that much beating..but ZMA is totally different in that case, it also has very robust engine but that doesn't meant for drags even though when it has good torquy engine which has good pickup but its robustness shows in long drives when engines performs brilliantly refined even without breathing as much as others..so according to me both bikes has robust engine but that robustness is in a bit different way..

                              engines from Honda aren't over hyped, they do perform nicely in terms of refinement & they are reliable then most of other brands around the world..

                                Just read the posts below post number 133 on THIS page. Hope it'll take you to the final decision. The topic of comparing ZMA and RTR180 has been discussed to death for "N" number of times. So, its better if you guys take the pain of searching about it first, before asking it again and again. Sorry if I'm rude, no intentions to hurt anyone. But, this topic really reached to a limit.

                                Anyways, good luck for choosing your steed.
