    I know that both belong to a different category-Apache for the pure adrenaline rush and Zma for relaxed and comfortable cruising.I love both the bikes,and would have bought the two if had the money.I will maintain my bike well,so the maintainance part is not an issue i suppose,but have heard that getting the spares of zma is not easy.I want complete peace of bike as i will be keeping it for 3-4 years..Waiting for your suggestions!

        If it was me i'd have gone for A180...
        A180 outshines the zma in all areas except comfort...

            There is no point in buying the same bike again.If you are considering mileage factor these bikes have very less mileage.My RTR180 is giving me 35km/l.It's your call now.Better go for RTR180.

            D.I.Y-Valve clearance setting RTR180
            D.I.Y-RTR180 brake fluid replacing/brake bleeding
            D.I.Y-RTR180 brake pad replacing/cleaning

            A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

              Do you rip your bike..My friend says he gets 45-50 which i don't believe.Its impossible to get such mileage figures in 180!!I used to get 50-55 from my fi.

                  Considering I have never got below 40 kmpl for the past 20k. You can expect it.

                            All new bikes give lesser mileage when new, it's b'cos engine parts takes some time to 'bed' well. some bed early some takes little more time...by 2/3 service your bike will be giving you max. mileage. FYI, Zma mileage can vary from as low as 25 way upto 45 kmpl, it all depends on driver/driving style etc etc. on an avg. city ride you can expect about 35kmpl.
                            BTW, did you 'test-ride' both bikes??

                              I rode both the bikes.Apache is all about adrenaline rush and spirited riding and ZMA-R is about relaxed riding.I loved the A180 throttle response.I found that both A180 and ZMA have similar acceleration,probably (thats what i felt).Mileage of both the bikes will be same,i was told that the mileage would be anything between 40-45 by the showrooms.The A180 brakes were awesome,it just stopped where i wanted it to,whereas the ZMA's brakes lacked bite.It would have been great if HH would have replaced the drum with rear disc.But nevertheless both are great bikes in their own aspects.

                                I own a ZMA and I love the bike.
                                But for you, I would suggest the RTR 180. Reason: easy availability of spare parts, very cheap maintenance.

                                Mileage: RTR will definitely give u more than the ZMA

                                I have heard the Hero Honda have again increased the prices of spare parts for the ZMA.
                                I have been searching for a chain set for ZMA for 3 months now. still no stock anywhere.
