              I'm a city commuter, and sometimes get indulge in street racing.

              I have a budget of 1.5 lacs, the Kawasaki Ninja is too costly and way costly...

              I have tested Yamaha r 15 and Pulsar 220 DTS fi...

              I felt R15 is good at higher speed, the handling was good, but the torque was less at lower speed. The technology is so advaced coz of 6 speed transmission, 4 valve engine, Fuel injection.

              The pulsar 220 was quick and fast in city traffic... but while reving at high speed, i felt its little unresponsive... The projector head lamp was class thing...

              The new karizma is tempting because of its new fairing and the speedo meter and the tail lamp...

              I want to test the new ZMA...

              Post which, i will jot down all your valuable suggestions.

              The new one is ZMR...

              Also in R15 you will feel the torgue once 50% of the RPM has been done for every gear.... so on higher speeds its marvelous bike to ride, perfect handling, breaking, technology....
              My vote for the R15

              Pulsar 220 ...brute power...but mechanic friendly bike if not maintained properly ( mechanic friendly means will make friends with mechanic)
              ZMR latest techology

                    The Daytona kit is a over rated over priced "performance" kit.... plus it will make your bike illegal on roads...

                      ^^ Daytona kit is not street legal, and i think you'll also be losing warrenty.

                      Cost : Engine Kit is Rs. 31,000

                      Body kit is Rs. 20,000

                      So for 50k you'll be getting better top end performance and will not (legally) be able to ride on the streets...

                      I would not go for it, c'mon man, instead of 1.6 lac for the R15 plus Daytona Kit, i would take a lac loan and buy the Ninja!!

                      Don't get me wrong i love my R15, but there it is...


                      Cheers,

                          Thanks

                          the R15 tyres have excellent grip and i doubt whether the frame supports the FZ16 tyre as i heard from someone the gap between the tyre and swing arm is hardly 1 or 2 cms
