If you know how to take the horses out of your bike, the P180 is no match for the R15. In fact there isn't any comparison. The R15 will draw circles around the P180 and still have two gears left! Maybe even three!!

Be it acceleration or top end, the R15 will be eons ahead of the P180 UG-N!

Topic Approved and Moved

No comparison , maybe all the R15 owners you have raced against were not in the mood to and were probably cruising while you were ripping your bikes heart

. top speed ,0-100 ,handling ,braking R15 is much ahead of the Pulsar 180 . Only thing equal to it is the P220

I got this new Pulsar 10 UG4 last year

We live in Mumbai..! and here so many times(5-6) I have been able to smoke out R15 on highway..!Western express highway (from Bandra to Airport-Andheri)
hard to believe..!

ROTFL !

Im not sure how an 13.5 BHP can beat an 17BHP......
May be you thought an Stunner as R15
or
All the R15 riders would have had some grace in thier heart to let you cross...

Ok Im not against you - but just admitting the Possibilities

There are only few Indian Production bikes which can be compared with R15
they are
P220
P200
RTR 180 ..... Even ZMR doesnt comes near the Figures....though it is an Competitor...

P180 produces good powerband but when compared to R15 it is marginally Less

R15 can produce a Top End of 130 which is only the second Highest Top end achieved by an Indian Premium Bike .....

For more details - there are many Thread available here - where you can see Comparisons between R15, ZMA, RTR, Pulsars etc etc

^^^^ com-on guys we are not here to compare the bikes.

@threadstarter
I will not be commenting on UG4 P180 as you own it and better know it.

About R15, then, many of the fellow 'indian' riders are only intrested in looks of the bike (excepting Xbhpians), therefore, if your friend is going by its SBK looks then do warn him about what an R15 is?? He might not get what he is looking for because R15 is a pure revv. machine one always needs to keep in its power band for real 'speed freak' feel. I have ridden both bikes and by my means "Buy a UG4 if you want a cheap yet realiable yet commuter yet tourer machine." & "Buy, a R15 if you want a revv. machine which needs to be ripped hard + good tourer in terms of its reliability.

"

Above were completely my thoughts. I didnot mean to offend any company neither do i want to support.

Ride an R15... rip it till redline, it will take all the throttle abuse you throw at it. Hit a curve at 3 digit speeds, stick your body a little out and exit smoothly... u see an old guy trying to cross the road on his cycle, and then he stops in the middle of the road to answer his phone, you slam the brakes, stop precisely where u want to, ride close enough to give him a piece of your mind and zoom away..

Man... not last week during our xBhp ride to ananthagiri hills..I wanted to ride my friends P180 UG 4 on the way back.. It was good, better than I expected.. but I asked him to return my bike and I was at home, in control.

Saying again, you ride the R15 yourself before suggesting anything to your friend.

PS - the first para is just for the heck of it, don't take it literally

Come on man you are comparing two different genes of bikes altogether.

**santoosh** · 02-10-2010, 12:49 AM

A p180 can smoke a r15 only if the r15 rider is riding at 60-70kmph on 6th gear and then accelerates in the same gear .
Else , gear to gear the r15 is quicker and has a better top speed ,

U may have ridden bikes for years ,once u hop onto the R15 , u ll need to learn to ride it to extract the best out of it ,
Else there is every possibility that ppl can smoke you an r15 on the road.

Well, as far as this query goes, Dude If you want an actual Sports bike, with proper sports bike features, top end, acceleration, power curve, braking, handling, out and out track buster, the R 15 is always there. It is technologically decades advanced than even its own siblings let alone the pulsar which needs 70 extra ccs to beat it. Out and out, an enthusiast's bike the R15 is.

If you want a powerful commuter, then buy the P180.

As far as performance is concerned, the 180 is no longer even in the ballpark.

**!_Devil_Jin_!** · 02-10-2010, 01:41 AM

@ Threadstarter...
Most of the r15 guys will agree with me on this one.
You see, the r15 owners are used to people trying to race them. So, they just ignore the other "racers".
The r15 goes 0-100 in 10 seconds man !

Did you ever try going 100 on your p180? Next time count the seconds.

And if you are judging the bike from its cc ..let me tell you..
"Judging the bike by its cc is like judging a woman by her bra size"- some xbhpian

**tejasmph** · 02-10-2010, 03:02 AM

what a comparison!!!(there isn't any actually the r15 is light years ahead in terms of everything)............ THE END.

**srini** · 02-10-2010, 06:32 AM

R15 in no way can be compared to a P180.....maybe the guys you overtook werent keen on speed or god knows what...

^U know for women that sometimes works

Anyway @threadstarter- i have ridden both the new 180 and my brother owns an R15 2009,... the pulsar has got power i agree. but U RACING "SMOKING" AN R15 with that is IMPOSSIBLE, the R15 riders didn't wanna race u i guess or they were running in economy,... As posted before v tend to ignore "racers". the handling braking, power to weight ratio,..etc.... ARE amazing
ride it first....
well for the guy who wants a bike, P180 is an excellent power commuter but R15 has it ALL!!!!

**Vaibhav Saigal** · 02-10-2010, 11:38 AM

wat i ve experienced is that p180 can compete r15 in initial pick-up but overall r15 is wayyyyyyyyy ahead of p180........if r15 is affordable ,go for it.......

LAMO!!

@threadstarter: The baby R1 rocks man. I've ridden a friend's P-180 many times before i got my R-15.
The 180 is a good bike no doubt, but the R-15 is in a different league; top speed, handling, touring ability etc are really great. Like many here have said, comparing them will not do justice to either bike.

Cheers,
