This is my first thread in xbhp and i ve been an silent observer of this site for a longg time.Am going to get my self a new bike within a month ..I ve targeted the RTR refresh model with rear discs.
I'll be using to college daily and may be a few long trips somewhere along but mostly city commuting.My height is 5'8 and i weigh around 65kgs.My budget is 65-70k at max.
Thank you

Welcome !! And Congrats. Good Choice there.

The Apache RTR rd is a good choice and will suit you well . at the same price you can also look at Pulsar 180 , FZ 16 as well . any more details you want to clarify ?

My budget is around 65 to 70k, so Fz goes out of the list plus i prefer an RTR to the Fz.How much does the P180 cost on road here in chennai>?

Welcome aboard.

I see you've clearly stated that you need RTR, so what's your question & what's the help you need with selecting a bike?

wamsey · 01-20-2010, 09:15 PM

^^ Exactly. @jisaw91 - you set your heart on RTR go for it. Its a nice machine with good heart. But if you could tell us what other bikes you have in mind, then others can provide you the advantages/comparisons/their views.

if you're fine with RTR,just go for it...Pulsar 180 must cost around 72-73k IMO in chennai...

jd666 · 01-21-2010, 12:37 PM

RTR 180 is the best bet in the budget you are looking at.

Alternatively if you are the cruiser type, you could look at the avenger 200 as well.

I guess The RTR 180 is around 74-75k , So it doesnt fit into your budget . P180 is around 73k , Fz too falls in this range . So Choose your Machine right , check the pros and kons of all the bikes .
