If you have the money, go for the R15 with eyes closed.

But if you are looking from maximum performance per rupee point of view, then RTR 180 comes up trumps.It does everything almost as good as the R15 and still costs a good 30-35k cheaper.

The two things in which the RTR lags behind by a good margin is: Top Speed and Engine Refinement.Rest a test ride of these two machines will make you clearer in making the final decision.

+1 More stable in cornering (Thanks to Deltabox Frame and Linked type Monocross suspension)

if you want the bike for drag then go ahead with the P220 or A180.. R15 main power lies in the higher gears..

R15 has best handling+braking+looks

i think my option would be the R15, but apache is more VFM it does everything the r15 can do but it lacks refinement! and IMO apache has a slightly better riding stance than the r15(its too uncomfy for a tall guy like me)
