Relativity. Einstein’s much talked about and not much understood theory applies to motorcycles as well. Especially when it comes to Performance – a potent word, isn’t it?

When it comes to motorcycles, that word means a lot to some motorcyclists and that’s why every manufacturer has a flagship model that appeals to the rubber-smokin’ bunch. And let me state right away that each of the bikes you see here is a great motorcycle in its own right.

But again, in the end, there is only one winner. And in case you’re wondering, we’ve deliberately left out performance figures. You want best numbers? Buy the P220.

I like zmr obviously. I used to like 220, but now not. bcz few of my friends bought 220 for muscular look, & powerful (Bujaj say so). but real think is , pulsar speed meter shows extra kmph. it has bad engine quality.

I think R15 is the best built for its aerodynamic body than other 2 bikes those are not much concerned about aerodynamic factor !:-)

Great article, undoubtedly R15 is the best, only bike in india which P220 fanboys hate, people compare it to 220cc bikes only, nothing beats it, many are claiming new R15 to be launched on 6 sepetember, gonaa get it(Been waiting all year for this new R15 2.0)!!

So you think the Pulsar 220 being overweight is because of 'sheer overengineering'. To my knowledge weight in any type of automobile is a premium and the 'engineering' is in making it lighter yet more stronger. Engineers across the world would call it not enough engineering and unfinished work! There is no virtue in the additional weigh on matter how you may want to look at it. Period. Otherwise a good article.

Nice Comparo,pulsar 220 is best bike in the country in terms of performance for bucks ratio and hope bajaj will bring a lighter,faster version of the same or a bigger pulsar.

  pulsar 220 is the best out of dose 3 bikes... power to weight ratio is more fr p220 ..

I chose an R over the three here as it seems to be the best pick for me. I'm sorry but the 220 is a pain to own and horribly made. The R15 is too puny for a big guy like me (still, I consider this the best bike under 1.25 lac). The ZMR does not really have the character of the R and neither does it have the looks! Been happy with my bike for the last 6 months. It's perfect for my 50km commute and weekend rides. No regrets here.

Very well written. They all are competitors but the satisfy very different needs, P220 is for people looking for performance at a budget. R15 is for those who rate handling and style above everything else. And finally the ZMR for those who want a powerful and comfortable tourer.
