I am going to buy new karizma R on 30th june-14. It Sounds good while comparing to p220 and fazer.
Then comparing engine reliability p220 gives engine noise after 2 years and riding comfort will be not as much in the starting. But in fazer yamaha, engine(no words to describe yamaha engine since from rx100) because it is that much reliable and when talking about power and cost karizma leads it.Fazer is 150cc and 14bhp but karizma R is 223cc and 19.2bhp. when it comes to price fazer is about 93k and karizma is only 92k.
I have spent more than 2 months deciding what bike to take and at last I found it was karizma R.Pillion rider seating is the only advantage in Karizma R. And resale value of this bike is less. but I don’t mind it because I am going to ride it for at least 8 to 10 years.
