But on the road, ZMA won't be a bad ride. It would have the handling and stability to stay ahead of P220.
We could say ahead in reliability. But 20 - 25 k extra just for a top notch reliability ??

The Pulsars are now a days improving like never before.

(Its hard to say that being a Karizma owner but its a fact)

In coimbatore Herohonda showroom, they claim top speed as 140 km/h[shock] and milage is 42kpl.
On road price: 1,04,000.
140 km/h ? [shock] That would make it 2/3rd fastest Indian[:D]

Don't expect the bike to go above 126 in any case,at the max 130.(Stock condition)

And about the mileage - I am in touch with one of the ZMR owner,he says he's getting 50km/l according to what the speed meter is showing.

So the 42km/l figure must be true[:)]

Price is on the higher side and top speed is optimistic. I think it can travel 35 kilometre per litre.
My current ZMA-R gives me a mileage of 35km/l.

At first even i dint believe when he said 50km/l, but to prove us he had uploaded a video of his ZMR's Speedo Meter which showed the mileage as 50km/l.(In the mileage indicator)

Considering the errors,etc it should be around 40km/l.

Those are great Figures Neil!

But still my vote goes to Yamaha R15 :)

Being 150 cc & brilliantly engineered, this competes closely with the so called fastest indian.

Go Yamaha! Lot to conquer!

RTR 180 anyday.
180cc, 2 valves per cylinder, air cooled, 12k rpm rev monster.
R15.
150cc, 4 valves per cylinder, liquid cooled, fuel injected, ecm controlled.

even after all this gadgetery and a 30k price increase, RTR equals R15, if not better.
Think about it.
On the track too, gives unbeliavavble comp to r15s.
In city, no way u can go ahead.

And something optimistic for RTR owners[ not so much for r15 or even r1 owners][lol]

Manan going in the hills and going round the corners on his RTR180. I on my R1 could NOT keep up with him in the hills, the route to Shimla, Himachal, India. What a difference from a year ago when Manan could not lean at all to now when no one can catch up with him on any given bike!
This was KEN on R1. and before you dismiss him as just any biker, he is a first class maniac, and xbhp moderator.

Ken da. Man i just love his R1 thread. I keep on reading it again & again.

Well to be honest here the RTR 180 is one hell of a bike. We have seen the TVS evolve in front of us.The rate of improvement they have shown in such a less time is just awesome.

@ Racerdabba - Like you say "RtR.....The R stands for Respect"
And that's a great video,thanks for sharing.The roads are exciting as well as scary.
You own a RTR ? If yes we are waiting for a report.[cheers]
