My requirements are
1. Commuting
2. Touring
3. Street driving (Most important of all!)

What I want
1. Soft on butt
2. Damn good handling
3. I don't need rocket speeds but 150Km/h would do :grin:. Kiddin!
4. Reliable, like my ZMA(its no more alive!).

I have enough brainstorming sessions with myself and finally got down to the list which goes as
1. P180
2. A180
3. CBZ Xtreme
4. HUNK
5. P150
6. further additions

Out of which choice no.2 is unlikely, cause I tried to rip it and it vibrated like tractor at 55Km/h :shock:. No offence to anyone, personal feeling!
Please don't suggest FZ, fazer etc..shelling out 70K for them would be by no way VFM! Reasons are 38Km/l mileage, Comparatively slower acceleration, uncomfortable riding position for long tours, though very stable at road, but still not enough.
Please help guys, I am damn confused!

from the choices you mentioned..i would suggest the P180..!
i would have also suggested the A180..but..you've already made up your mind about it..!
so P180..!

Hi Satan, Actually that thread is 5000 post old, now with all due respect, kindly tell me which page of whom's post, should I refer to?

Well you are getting damn good FE, any tweaks/tips you want to share?

You can only ask owners and the one who replied to you is an owner and his 220 DTS-i has done 10000 kms.
I too own a 220 and i rip it hard always, manage to get minimum 34-35 always. If you keep listening to everyone then you would never be able to finalize on your bike.
If you can believe the guy who told you 220 gives 22-25 kmpl (which is absurd), you can go to 220 DTSi thread and ask tons of owners there.

10000 Kms

Thats quite a distance, man. I was just being confused

.

@Naveen - I can still live an option alive of P180 in case of sudden transfer of control to mind

. 'll see!

If brain storming is not working then follow this unconventional method.
Short list 2-3 bikes of your choice and write it down on slips of paper ,close your eyes and pick any one. Be determined or this thread will never end.

how is it done?
can you explain it on P-220 ownership thread
Thanks

@whytryharder--- you are really trying harder man

adjusting the AFR screw will make your bike lean or rich dude...i used to get 45+ in cities but engine does heat more and thats not a good thing...so had it tuned for more power instead of mileage(made it more richer from leaner)

well.heres the summary then.

average p220dtsi user mileage is 40+kms under sane riding
when ripped its 30+
and when you but the bike you can tune it according to your preferance.
you will have small niggles but not to worry...close your eyes and say "Aaaall iz Warrany,Aaall iz Warranty"

the output you are getting from the 220 is pretty much more than what you spend your time in maintaining it...makes you a devil the moment you sit on the bike and personally i love it..

if you want a more reliable engine,sort of lesser problematic bike,its always the zma...its a proven tourer...albeit the mileage and power.

if you compulsory want a below 70k bike then unicorn( for reliability) and p180 or p220 dtsi S (same as 220 F but without fairing and awesome lights) is a better option rather than fz16..please dont go to fazer (Personal opinion...just not worth it)
