If you finalize on Apache RTR/Fi, grey is the best color-no other bike has it&it looks very exclusive! My personal favorite-I had asked my friend to buy it, but he bought black, now he is regretting whenever he sees a grey RTR on road!

Default waiting continues after bookin my baby....

Hi All,
After reading numerous posts and queries finally booked my bike from megadooth motors trinity circle bangalore for RTR Fi (graphite grey) .. all cash. registration is on monday.. after booking the first thing im doing is updating xbhp .. how can i forget so many knowledgeable people who helped me select two wheeler....

i would take an oppurtunity to thank everyone in this forum for giving valuable advise. bike comes on road price of 74737/- only .


Staff were very courteous. they had 2 bikes.. they showed me one and its front headlamp had small scratch... they said they vil replace it ... i said big no to them. then they took me to parking lot where for my luck only one grey bike had come.they unloaded from the transport. took directly to garage n removed covers n showed me the bike. rest all orange n yellows. finally they alloted me that bike. documentation was smooth,,, have asked them to put seat cover and do teflon coating.
thanks once again for suggestions. will update inital ownership and my experience with my baby..

been riding RX-135 from past 10yrs and decided to change this legend for alternative 4 stroke.

please help me choose. my heart n mind both confused. my requirements are daily 55kms in an average commutation to my office. no highway riding. i want a genuine replacement for my RX. so the average mielage should b around 40 to 45kms. and bike should to tough to handle my every day rides in a good road 90% and 10% bad roads. planning to use this bike for another 5 to 6 yrs...

this bikes i considered was:
FZ - after reading the views and checkin the bangy on road price im kinda very much biased. 150 cc bike for 77k (FZs) is big no no if it not perfoming well..

ZMA... though its a good bike with proven on indian roads, but only concern here is mileage and same ZMA with cosmetic changes. what if the bike discontinued in another 2 yrs or so.

After reading numerous threads and applauds for apache rtr Fi im more inclined towards this bike. but since im 6 ft tall and weighing around 82 kgs will this bike suit me for daily commutation. kindly help me as im in lot of dilema. please suggest any other suitable bike which u think will suit my requirements as i have no xperience in buyin new age bikes. i know there has been lot of queries but since im totally confused, will be of great help expert pour in there knowledge here.

thanks
TorQ...
ride safe.
Bro as you travel about 50 kns daily than i suppose suzuki GS150R will surely do for you..with 6th cog it will return a descent mileage of 50 km/ltr or so..or if you wanna have the same Yam power then surely Yam Gladiator would do the job..top speed claimed 112km/hr but actual 108km/hr..aveage mileage would be around 45-50...hope this helps you

so i might get it concluded to Apache RTR fi..

in apache the problem is they dont have black.. orange, yellow n some dusky grey it seems.

i have decided on rtr160 FI.. kindly let me know whether dusky grey vil suit me.
Before buying RTR FI ...take a test ride of RTR180 too...may be you like it....

Hey torQ i totally disagree with pulsar220 the build quality and vibrations is worse, RTR, people tell that the forearm aches when you ride long, given your height???? only who are fans keep telling that RTR suits comfy to all heights ;Unicorn you have enlisted out Zma a better choice if you are not a speedy GS150r would be a even more better choice
