if you maintain and care for your a180 well, it'd last long.
but the fz and dazzler wont need that level of care and maintenance to last long. just the regular servicing would suffice.

honestly speaking, those 3 extra horses make a lot of difference in power. the throttle response in the a180 is one of a kind.

power/adrenaline rush = a180
looks/good low-mid end power = fz
mileage = dazzler.

its your call.

If you have time to wait go for Unicorn instead of Dazzler (Unicorn is segment best bike and best of all stuff, but master of none).
For pure fun get FZ, India's best street bike, you'll enjoy every twist of your right wrist.

Auto journos and racers all hail the RTR 180 as a very potent track tool/fun machine. The "sporty riding position" + "neck jerk" that you get when you twist the throttle of the RTR 180 is impressive.

With the ABS as an option at a very reasonable price makes the Apache RTR 180 ABS a very good package.

some people say that dazzlers plastics lack quality. what all are its after effects? also suggest me if it is suitable for me as i am 6 feet in height. otherwise please help me choose a 150 cc with 45+ FE and decent performance with extreme handling (i'm a lean boy with average body power).
thank you all...

Default advice on first bike

i'm 5'10 , 77kg college going 21yr old.
now looking for my first bike.
budget is far most stretchable to 70k(otherwise 65k).
i have a scooter right now.bike will serve same purpose.city riding(30-70kmph).90kmph is a rare chance(not that rare),mileage acceptable atleast 40-45kmpl
i'm looking for a 150+cc bike.
my priorities are(in order of importance)
performance and handling(no probs till 85-95kmph,85%city 15%highway)
looks(muscular and not much fairing)
reliability(no major probs for atleast 2-3yrs)
comfort(good for atleast 100km at a stretch for rider,which will be twice a month)
should not be omnipresent(eg pulsars,splendors etc. etc.)

eg; FZ16 or FZS, HUNK, APACHE, ....i mean good looking and good performing

need a lot of help
