hmm... i'm 176 cms and nver faced any prob... but its again a subjective matter... my body can adjust at almost any position easily without much prob... you can tell those things by doing a test drive only

We have come across many technical terms and abbreviations like

TPFC (2004 CBZ)
DTSI (Pulsar)
PGMFI (GlamourFI and ZMR)
ATFT (New CBZ)
CVT-II (Flame) and many many more.

But the only bike which stands out is the RTR (Racing Throttle Response)

Yes, the Racing Throttle Response could be felt real time unlike the above, which merely reflects only in stickers and no difference felt practically.

But thats the only thing good about the RTR, the dark side - Horrible handling and poor suspension, which will not even be submissive while applying brakes.

I would suggest the FZ anytime over the RTR, With regular service intervals on both bikes the FZ remains stock healthy even after 2 yrs unlike the RTR.

Regarding performance still FZ has an edge over. Though it makes only 14PS compared to the 15+ in Apache, FZ revs smooth and silent to the redline than the RTR and Handling, braking is nothing you can compare, FZ is miles ahead.

You got alllllllllll things wrong , apache is known for handling braking performance which is unbeatable (of course leaving aside R15) , and regarding vibes its a lot less in new rtr s and the suspension is stiff to help in stability at hogh speeds. i am just pointing out the wrong things that you said i am not against Fz or anything fz is also good bike but of different class

bindyesh

i dont know on what basis you are saying handling of rtr is horrible.yes fz is avery good bike but it can not beat rtr in performance

@ kantu and bindyesh

I have mentioned horrible handling, because I got spoiled with Yamaha's handling for the past 2 yrs.

Even yesterday I had to swap my bike for an RTR 180, I felt like committing suicide at 120Kays (On an access controlled expressway). Road grip is pathetic, Too much of Wind disturbance may be its not well aero dymanic, high speed conering is out of question, unless you change to MRF soft rubber.

Vibes, leave them apart. Over 100Kph on an empty stretch I never enjoyed anything rather being too much conscious on road stability.

I do admit its nimble within city limits less then 60kays. But I am 100% HONEST IN SAYING FZ HANDLES FAR BETTER THAN APACHE IN EVERY ASPECT and thats what the topic is all about and am not comparing Apache with other bikes.
