Fi - is fuel injectionif u can get a new stock tyre and is racing fan then go for RTR fi + new better gripping tyre. IF u care for city riding and nimble handling, FZ 16 << i own one. Dunno abt TVS but yammy comes with 6 free service and 2 yr warranty. |

Moreover Yamaha service is also not good. So as per me on service part, both may be same(RTR and FZ). In down south like Bangalore, TVS has got good service at least better than Yamaha. Both bikes are great handler. So difference may be: Power: RTR FI > FZ Fuel Efficiency: RTR FI > FZ Price: RTR FI ~ FZ, On road, here in Bangalore. Handling: FZ slightly better because of tyre quality b/w these bikes. Both bikes are better handler than other options, in my opinion. so decide as per your requirements, have a test ride and choose. For me FZ is not VFM and I dropped the idea of buying one. Last edited by chauhan_saurabh; 02-27-2009 at 11:15 PM. |
