    RTR FI vs FZ 16 vs P200 vs Honda Unicorn vs Any HH bike if it can compete

    So far, it has been Fz VS Apache for me with 5'6" height and average built. I want combo of power and decent average. Low maintenance is everybody's wish.

    Had test ridden RTR Carb and RTR FI. Liked FI.

    Prior biking exp.: 100 CC bikes that too 4/5 years back

    Was looking for FZ/RTR so far but added other options because:

    1) P200 -- feature packed VFM
    2) Honda Unicorn -- most refined and AFAIK low maintenance bike
    3) Any good HH bike -- but off course for the lowest maintenance cost.

          Mostly city riding that too only on weekends .. with a pillion most of the time.
          weekdays I don't need bike ..
          Touring -- very rare if I go.

              Though not test ridden ... I once tried my friend's Unicorn and it felt a bit heavy to control.
              P200 I never tried .. but I'll definitely have test rides for these bikes.

                Hey no offenses meant, when yours is mostly city riding and that only during weekends, with a pillion rider, why don't you go for Honda Dio or Suzuki Access... They are really good to drive in the city limits + the ride quality is comfortable too... Just my suggestion, you can rightly ignore if you dont like it

                        Yup I had seen that bike ... looks really good .. really big but somewhat bulky with weight comparable to Unicorn. But last time Suzuki dealer here in BLR did not allow me a test ride.

                              unicorn is a amazing bike no doubt in that,since u r 5ft 6in ...it would be a bit taller bike for u,if u can manage that ....then (with pillion) Unicorn is the best option,say u need a balance between performance and mileage ,RTR fi is also something to be looked at,reliability shouldnt be a issue for years to come if well maintained ,as far as gearbox is concerned its not refined as HONDA but for ur hieght it should be a perfect combination for city handling and all

                              so
                              1. Long termer,ok with the height,smooth and reliabilityand -Unicorn
                              2.Loves to rev -performance machine with descent mileage and gearbox the RTR-Fi as its very good in city traffic(low end torque)
