which bike out of three: p200, zma, rtr160 fi
hi friends i am planning to sell my 11 years shogun and buy a bike. i want a daily commute bike plus one with good performance. a bike on which i can take my wife and kids ( not all necessary at same time) plus have some fun riding also. i have short listed three p200, zma and rtr 160 f1.

kindly also tell me why you like which and the negatives of other which went against them.
and if you can rate them on PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY and COMFORT.THKS
p.s what would and 11 year old shogun get average maintained everything original no parts. changed except fuel pipes.

Karizma unless you are worried about the mileage and high cost of spares.

karizma doesnt have rear disk
it is also no f i (not much prefence of carburetter over fuel injection) but still f i is better
mileage does matter but not that much. i want sportier bike

Karizma if you are gonna tour else RTR fi
but dont know if it will be a good choice to ride with your family.


For riding along with family even in city karizma is the most sensible option.

Overall Karizma is a pretty attractive package especially if you are planning to take trips with your family.

If you are interested in Fuel Injection and rear disc brake then you might want to check Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi, more expensive and not as well put together as the Karizma and to a certain extent even the Apache, but overall a pretty good package.

hi yogesh.
the bike is mainly for city driving mostly me alone sometimes with family. not much touring may be one off trip in one or two years and that too mainly to shimla,kasauli or atmost manali. no major tours to difficult terrain like leh or to far places like in uttarakhand.

btw what would my shogun fetch if i sell it

zma still has one of the best ride quality

you can expect around 10K at the most for your shogun

In that case go for RTR FI.

For resale of Shogun, I hope you don't have to pay to the kabadi wala to take it away! Man its eleven years old, let the baby RIP
