    Thanks for the replies Sheel and Sirohi.
    About the P-180, Sheel i was saying that the latest version of the P-180 doesn't come fitted with the traditional side footrest.I hope you got what I am trying to say, the large footrest that is used when sitting sideways.Thats the only concern.
    And I dont see a point in waiting for the newer versions if its gonna take that long.About FZ I think I ll have to take another test drive. Thanks for the confirmation bro.
    And yeah, any idea how much a pulsar-220 costs?
    Which one is better, the street fighter version or the projecter headlamp one?

              The price should be approx Rs.80,000 INR.

                    Hey all...my bro met with an accident and now my dad says I cant buy a pulsar.Isnt it obvious he has a pulsar.Its 180 by the way.Is the Honda Unicorn fair enough as a tourer for small to medium distances?? I know Karizma is the best tourer but no more High End Bikes above 150 CC.Suggestions please.

                        hey Sheel...thanks for that...but the dazzler has a tiny feel about it.I being on the heavier side want to go for the standard unicorn version...what say!!

                          I don't think there is much difference between them as far as appearing fat and plum goes
                          and don't you wanna lose weight?

                          Maybe this sweet Motorcycle might tempt you to head to the gym.

                            haha...nice one man...but i am not the FAT types...u know what i mean...bigger personality.And dont tell me that both unicorns are the same.The new one definitely looks a lot thinner.Or did I get it completely wrong.The new one is the Dazzler rite..which looks a lot like its younger brother twister???

                              I have never driven Apache but have heard good reviews about it. Sound of 180's engine is pleasant

                              Have taken a long TD of FZ when I was looking for buying a new bike. Its a damn good bike. Handling is excellant. Vibrations and higher rpm response is better than other 150 cc bike. It has got mono-suspensions. I am able to get a milage of around 40 from R15 after servicing in city and I rev hard, so mileage in FZ should not be an issue.

                              If you are willing to spend 80+ then P220/Karizma is also there for you. Otherwise stick to FZ I think.

                                Hey...thanks a lot...i am all game for FZ this wednesday...Lately I have seen this new bike on the road and liked its looks.It turned out to be the P-135 and on reading the reviews it has a 4 valve engine and has figures on par with any other 150 if only a lil less.What is this 4 valve all about.And is P-135 as good as it claims to be??
