But consider this - in your day-to-day usage and city riding conditions, FZ has an advantage due to more torque available at lower RPMs, which means you do not have to rev the crap out like in RTR to stay in power band or when you have pillion. Thats why most RTRs give a realistic milage of around 40.

get ur facts right ,my Rtr gives 50 kmpl (eFi will give 54-55) , no fz16 will give more than 45

apache has enough torque , it easily pulls from 27 kmph from 5th gear without knocking .
we dont have to rev the crap out .NEVER!

The company claims a figure of 52kpl for Fz under std conditions(Std conditions are different from ideal conditions.Std conditions are much closer to real riding conditions)

Hence a mileage of around 50 can be expected from, Fz.
And the same should hold true for RTR.

well i dont want to start any debates ,Ul see after 2-3 months when actual mileage comes of owners after running-in .

Well, one of my colleagues bought an FZ-16. He had to keep the bike without riding for a week.
The bike refused to start after the week when my tried to start it. He had to push-start it finally.

So, one more bike to join the modern 'push-start' bikes.

What exactly happened? Did the self-starter did not crank?

I don't think the battery of a new machine can go so weak just after one week of non-riding. This is a serious issue!

Now thats how people should be posting. See... How much info was collected..

Anyways... thanks everyone for your valuable suggestions...

From the overall discussions going on, I can figure out that both the bikes would give more or less the same mileage (+- 5 kmpl). And this is quite acceptable.... Almost as good as the trade off between awesome looks, and good looks

Thanx everyone

Aryan, I will get more details. He just told me the bike did not start and he had to push start it.

In real world conditions driving the RTR FI at around 3000-5000 equates to 59 kmpl (acheived that), but the red line worshippers will get around 35kmpl in that.........

and about the bikes torque i agree with Mr Puneet the bike rolls without a hint of knock or chain snatch from 2200 Rpm in 5 that shows 24 on the speedo............

and as far as the FZ16 is concerned........
40-45 is the max it can ooze out.............

Reminds me of my school days with a TVS 50 XL

I guess its is something very serious I too find the battery running out of juice already

I think the main reason is the bike needs to be cranked several times for the first time it starts in the morning and unlike 220 it doesn't has any modern electronics to whack it off the result is after series of cranking the battery seems to run out. More over I too find my engine sounding different already !!
