height and reliability are all craps.

sayank, truth is even if tvs come up with the most reliable mill, i wouldn't buy apache. I don't know why but it ain't my thing.

I think you should go for a loan and get a R15, don't go for used bike. According to me an used joelled fazer doesn't make sense because it won't satisfy you mentally no matter how good the tunning is, nothing beats stock performance, its best and reliable. So its better get a bike which has all your requirements and have fun, you won't regret.

Which one should NEVER do unless one has secondary income or buy a ride under a company.

Modding the vehicle is only 5%, the remaining 95% is on the rider himself. i don't engage myself in street races, but i want the mods to makes my bike unique from others' Instead of spending on modding the vehicle, spend it on education. It will help you in long run no matter you ride a Fazer or FZ1.
+100... for that, after all it's my parents hard earned money
This is all I got to say, I usually don't poke my nose into thread where people say I've 1L in hand & what should I buy; to me its like going to a hotel & asking the bearer, I've Rs 100 in hand & what should I eat?

All the best if you go for a new or old ride; remember to ride safe & ride hard.

well thanks sir, now i'm considering a new bike and visual mods on that.
@harishmenace, thanks for the advice and about r15, hmm... i don't wanna eat up my parents bank a/c and i don't earn.

Drop the SIR, RG is fine.

Remember there's 100 different ways to mod, engine mod is just one of them.

FZ16 is a good choice for touring; insure yourself with good riding gears in addition to visuals & ensure not to void the warranty.

There's no point in buying a used Fazer and getting it modified. Stock bike has its own originality which is completely lost when you apply mods. I would but recommend some mods which are not related to engine and would be practically helpful like fitting P220 projector headlamps. Personally I don't like engine mods with roaring sounds. I would recommend strectch your budget by 5-6K and buy a Fazer. When you can spend 80K, you can spend 86K too since you like the bike. Pulsar 200NS was a good option but would have to extend more and depends on your personal liking. If you can't strectch then RTR180/160Fi would be a good option. Also look at GS-150 if you want in your budget.

Mind double checking - Features of TVS Apache RTR FI 160

**Dinesh.P** · 03-27-2012, 04:44 AM

Hello,
Buying a new bike and altering it is not a good idea. You can go for a new one enjoy the stock ride for 20k+ Kms and then go for the alteration which ever you wish to have because while driving you will get a experience and feel of the bike. You will also get a clear idea of what all has to be altered.

Or if you want a bike that has to be altered immediately go for a second hand one with clear documents...

Like its bikes which rarely get updated, TVS is also lazy in updating their website. Fi has been discontinued more than a year back.
