      Zmr is nothing in terms of performance next to the R15.. if you like more torque then go for the P220 else the R15 is the best..

        I heard there's a lot of maintenance issues with it due to Open Chain and soft tyres etc......Which p220 are u referring to?I think there are two P220's.BTW I've been riding my bro's karizma r for about 3 years now ,it's an awesome bike.I am tall too ,heard tall people have a lot of problem with R15

          If you have been riding an karizma for 3 years than p220 will just feel more powerful.. if you want a different experience then get the R15...

          ZMR is same as the old karizma.. in terms of performance

                  compared to the ZMA, the 220 handles slightly worse. But it makes up with more power, which is quite quite good.

                    if you are like taking criss cross turns through traffic then p220 is not very good..

                      Strange

                      It does depend on you how you drive r15 has bigger fairing and p220 has small.u can take worse cutting if u dnt mind getting some scratches, both bikes are awesome in there segments.

                            handling of the P220 is not that bad...plus it's awesome vfm stuff.The R15 is in a different league altogether though.But the 220 makes it's cc advantage felt and you'll know when you ride it...
                            It all begins with a thumb-start -- Oh, wait, I forgot the kill-switch
