The morning seemed unusual for this time of the year. The air was quite nippy and there was a layer of dew on the grass around the roads we were traversing. As we came up a crest, the view of the fog filled the valley in front of us and took our breath away. We stopped to soak in the scenery and switched off our bikes. Suddenly, there was complete silence around us. There was no traffic on the road and the rising sun was still hiding behind layers of clouds. It almost seemed eerie there and hence we decided to do what we do best – ride on!
Our machines for this morning included four of the quickest and most powerful locally manufactured motorcycles on sale in India. These bikes not only look good, they all perform (almost) equally well too. Needless to say, these models are on the wish list of every youngster today. Of the four, in the recent past, we have pitted three bikes against each other – the Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-I, the TVS Apache RTR 180 and the Yamaha YZF-R15. The newest (and the fourth) contender here comes in the form of the fuel injected 223cc Hero Honda ZMR. Are we in for a fierce battle for a performance champion then? Definitely.

Bunny assumes values in millisecs, without having much knowledge stating the Digi Speedo has errors, The R15 speedo is exactly the same as R125's and its certified by Euro Biking Standards to be the most accurate.

similarly for a Pulsar its 9.5K rpm for first 3 shifts. Every Experienced R15/Pulsar 220 owner would be knowing this. No Matter how Hard you accelerate it is not possible to get the same in a ZMR or RTR 180. Bunny assumes values in millisecs, witho

This Review is a Kind of Useless,All Values given here are merely assumptions. R15/Pulsar 220 both are capable of Hitting 100Kmph in less than 10 secs in stock conditions.For a R15 the RPM must maintained 10K for the first 3 Gear shifts, and similarl

Other bike magazines say that P220 has got same or better ergonomics than karizma,Bike India thinks otherwise.
Sometime I feel as if Bunny Punnia should review only karizma because he gets solace only on Karizma

While HH claims 126 top speed,Bunny records 127 for Karizma.While bajaj and other Bike magazines claim 138+ top speed for P220,Bunny gets puny 132.5 kmph.
Other bike magazines say that P220 has got s
