    If you are planning to buy a bike which can b used for touring purposes also, then P220 is the one.

    If you want to take out the beast inside u and ride hard, then R15.

    Note:- The sitting posture of R15 is not suitable for long rides.

      I need some advice from all of you..

      Is Fazer is more stable as compared to 220?
      Cornering ability Fazer or 220?
      Suitable to pocket(not mileage wise but maintenance point of view)?
      Ride Quality Fazer or 220 which one is better?
      Which bike will give Comfortable ride as i ride 70 - 100 mostly in the city or in surrounding areas?....

      Going by your post seems like you have a softer side for Fazer, if its like that then just go for it. In the end, what matters is which bike YOU like.

      If u dnt like 220F styling than u can check out P220S .

        pointless to go in for a Fazer, look at the FZ or the P-220 S(if you don't like the faired version)

        GQ is conquered in R15 and so is SS, but only if you are not talking about pothole ridden highways,

        one good contender-- RTR 180

          Do as your heart says. Think about which bike you really love cause you have to take proper care of her (actually bikers fall in love with almost every bike cause each of them has different attractive pros and all of them have different cons). As you don't like the 220F (which has one of the most powerful headlights in stock) you may try 220S. If you feel confused that after buying a 220 you might still want fazer...then just go for the bikini fared fazer man.

                  You have a touring job, so you need a tourer, you do not want vibrations, you want good looks, and also you are concerned with mileage. I'm sorry to say , but neither of the 3 bikes you have mentioned, completely fit your criterion. If there is any bike which has all the above requirements, then it is the Karizma ZMR.

                  -Trusted Tourer
                  -High quality body, no vibrations
                  -Looks?? It is a looker!
                  -Great mileage as tested by bikeindia.
                  -Very comfortable riding posture with well placed clipon handlebars.

                  This bike will solve your another problem too. For R15 you said, you have to wait 4 months to accumulate the downpayment. So book this ZMR today, and by the time you have the money, it will be ready for delivery.

                  But, afterall, you are the biker, its completely your choice, buy the one which you like!

                      went for the test ride of Pulsar 220...but they are not giving it on the road, you can ride this bike on a dyno...ripped the bike touched 145Km. mark on dyno, I doubt on the real road conditions 220 can achieve it...Rear view mirrors are not useless as mentioned by many but they give just an okey view of the back, vibes are there in the bike but it will get clear when i will get the chance to drive it on the road... Mileage the company guy was claiming around 35 to 40 no matter how you ride according to him...plz advice....the figures stated by him are true or it will go down...0-60 was done in 5.17 seconds...i will buythefaired version. Can i fit the HID kit n what about the light spread of those projectors...are they good or average... waiting for reply...Price was 76500 on road including RC....

                        dont doubt brother .. it HAS achieved much better figures in REAL. one of our xbhp members has touched 153kmph under real conditions.

                        RVMs are not useless according to you but dont you think that thousands of owners stating them useless cant be wrong. RVMs IMO are not even ok. and when you ride on road it will get hell shaky mark me on this.

                        Then you said vibes will perish under REAL conditions.... then my friend you rode a NEW bike that too on a dyno and after 2 k kms on odo you will see that vibes are getting increased day by day.
                        But you will get used to it ... so dont worry . Its an awesome machine no doubt and i LOVE it.
                        P.S- F.E under moderate ripping will be around 30kmpl.
                        and under sane riding it should be near 35 kmpl.
                        i am getting 28-30.

                          With whatever the minimal knowledge I have, the above cannot be true.

                          It is a well known fact that the speedometers of pulsars have a good margin of error as said by some of the well experienced senior members here.

                          Touching 145Kmph on dyno or on the speedo doesn't mean that it is the REAL top end.

                          Various automotive magazines have tested and most of them have achieved a top speed of around mid 130's.

                          Do correct me if I'm wrong.

                            second... thread starter was in a dilemma that whether or not P220 can touch these figures in REAL so i said YES it can that too better than what he qouted.

                              i think the speedometer was totally wrong as it was reahing 140kmph at 4th gear & reaching 80kmph in 2nd gear.
                              NOT BEEN THERE NOT DONE THAT

                                Wow man! that Pulsar in the video is doing 50kmph in first gear itself and 0-60 is < 2secs.

                                If you agree that speedo error is present, then how can you claim that the guy touched 153kmph.


                                First of all stop believing those orkut videos. Especially the orkut link you have given. Completely baseless. He's doing 50kmph in first cog and 80 kmph in 2nd cog. Is that the proof you are giving for the top end of pulsars? sick!

                                I know the top end of pulsars is the best when compared to other bikes of same capacities, but there must be a limit to exaggeration.
