    P180 vs P220S

    Can anyone help me choose between P220S and P180?

    Things I am looking for in the bike:

    1. My daily commuting will be around 15kms in a heavy traffic prone route

    2. Mileage figures of 40 - 45 KMPL will do

    3. Good pickup & maneuveribility

    4. Occasional tourer

    5. Low Maintanence

    I would say 220 hands down!

    Approved
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

        P220 S is nothing but the P220F except Projector and fairing.
        Choosing 220S you 'll say yes to Lot of power, lot more pickup,Huge amount of Trq.

        But as far as looks is conserned dr is not much of a diff. You can merely diffrentiate between 220S and 180.

        Never then less it' all abiut the underneth Raw power, Picup and Trq.......U ride it u feel it....

        I don't think cutting traffic effortlessly is possible on this bike.Because it's heavy.
        But if u are cmfrtble riding 220S then i think it 'll not be a problem.

        Go for 220S no Doubt.

              @ Sarvajit

              I did consider other bikes..

              Apache & FZ - Does'nt suit my build (I am 6ft tall and weigh around 80kgs)

              zma r - i wud love to own this but its way too old and i fear it'll be phased out in a few days time

              zmr - waiting time of more than 100 days

              Finally I've decided to go for a pulsar and has ended up startin this thread

                mileage is completely depending upon ur clutch and gear use.

                But 25kmpl is not a fact you 'll defenetly get 40kmpl.

                For first few days try to learn quickly that how to not use clutch and gear heavily.And one thing more to that as p220S got high amount of Trq low rev 'll not be a problem......that thing helps when u r driving in heavy traffic.

                  Who told you P220 gives 25kmpl in traffic?
                  Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                  Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                      If mileage is crucial in effecting your decision and you wished to go for P220S and not P220F, you should probably stick with P180. Anyways your usage mostly consists of city riding, so no need of the extra horsepower.

                        If u want to go for long drives, touring its p220 hands down... the bike is amazing on the highways... But as ur req. is for city and with good mileage, go for 180... P220 will not give u much more than 40 and u will end up shifting gears a lot, this bike is not built for heavy traffic...

                            Hey bro,

                            P220 giving 25kmpl is what I heard even where I live. Then I discovered these guys who get such low mileage were thrashing often. So if you have proper control over the the right wrist I guess you can expect 35-40 in city. It is better that you ask P220 owners for proper info.

                            If your usage is max in city then do go for P180. Riding smooth you can definitely expect 40+(even more I guess). Even occasional touring is no problem. If you are often on the highways then go for P220. But I feel P180 suits your criteria perfectly.

                            Do take test drive and let us know what you feel.....

                              it would be better if you would gor for 180...
                              because,

                              Things u r looking for in the bike:

                              1. My daily commuting will be around 15kms in a heavy traffic prone route

                              as you drive in a heavy traffic prone route,180 is best as its not as heavy as 220

                              2. Mileage figures of 40 - 45 KMPL will do
                              180 offers you a nice mileage.you will get around 45 kmpl.if you are a smooth rider.even pulsar 220 gives you 40 kmpl,ask me i use a 220s it gives me around 40 kmpl.but if you expecting more,go for p180.

                              3. Good pickup & maneuverability
                              pickup in 180 is marvelous... maneuverability is better than 220..

                              4. Occasional tourer
                              again 180 is best here
                              5. Low Maintenance
                              220 needs lots of care...so u better go for 180...
