    The debate on fz vs apache is still continuing.

    Comment


    • can we leave the fz vs apache topic ??

      NOW its actually the rtr 180 vs rtr 160....in city...

      Im just 2 weeks away from buying the bike...still in two minds!!!
      Please guys.....give clear cut reasons,and suggest rtr180 or 160...

      I left the Fz,because it lacks in mileage and power(compared to RTRs)

      so which is the next best alternative...?? dont extend the topic off the RTRs...

      am still in doubt,if a 2 bhp & 2NM torque increase would show much difference in a city ride(20 kms daily)....

      • To be Frank 160 will be more then enough for you for 20km Ride daily, but having extra never harms any1 ...

        if you can afford 180 then its a good to buy vehicle to which you can use if not everyday but very rare long ride with Power Engine & Good Torque ... But Apache 160 Will surely do the Job without doubt Undoubtedly...

        am still in doubt,if a 2 bhp & 2NM torque increase would show much difference in a city ride(20 kms daily)....
        Yes u will see a Difference!! A big power Engine with high Torque surely makes a diff!!! but in 20km ride i dont think that would be sufficient to say so.... 20km is very less that too in City ...

          I don't think RTR gives good mileage in city traffic anyways! It's approx close to FZ, but little more than FZ.

          As i said before FZ does gives good mileage with right riding sense worst with RiPPing !!! he He...

          RTR 160 VS RTR 180 really will it make diference i don't think so!! i don't think RTR is Fun on road it's a wanab sports bike with limited speed !! RTR should have been more speed bike with excellent handling, but unfortunately it's not, apart from ABS one.

          If you want RTR then go with RTR ABS else no point here! FZ is any time best in ride and comfort! looks, etc.

          Does this matters to you in 20kms ?? i don't think average would make any difference, but a right bike will surely make a difference here!! It's not what bike is and how it performs, but it's how would you ride it?? How comfortable would you be?? Even RTR is not stable post 100kmph, so count is on your head now!!

          ABS anytime worth else there are many other options, wait for few more months and go for ABS RTR, instead of buying RTR 180 only!!

          • Get an RTR180ABS.
            If you wide open the throttle you have more power and its always welcome.Isn't it?
            But yes you may not feel much difference.Did you test ride the specimens?
            If not do so and decide.
            Whenever i see bikes or cars i see adrenalin pumps instead of people carriers.Thats the way to define an automobile.

              • Fz is the smoothest bike i have ever seen 150 cc segment..and the seating posturer of Fz is damn good..if u use it only for 1 month .you will just dislike Apache..and another thing the balance of this bike...u will not fall even if you are going to fall..i can't express this in word ,this is the only thing that you can feel.

                  • Guys...there has been a twist of events.
                    My dad's old friend is the manager in a Bajaj showroom.
                    my dad went there yesterday...he kind of liked the 200 NS.
                    Also,the showroom manager proposed to give more exchange price for my old kinetic.
                    I never thought about the NS,because i THOUGHT 85000 was my dads budget.Now he is ready to spend for the NS( 94000)..

                    You guys decide now......its the RTR OR NS......to choose from....
                    waiting for your replY,because if it is THE 200 NS,I MUST BOOK THAT SOOOOON

                      so rtr is no fun huh??
                      have you even ridden it for once? it is sad to see people are writting bullshit with out even riding or knowing about that bike
                      and the question remains why do i race?
                      every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

                            What crap ?? I guess you are more of RTR fan so such statements are here.
                            it's really said that people are writting freaking shit to miss guide the prospective rider or buyer!!
                            Go and ride FZ in it's true sense then judge it. I guess you haven't ridden any of it else you wouldn't have said this crap here!

                            Again yes RTR is more speeder then FZ but it's not a fun on city roads any time then FZ!! BUT RTR ABS is way ahead no comments on it.
                            how many RTR do you see on road ?? will give you teh answer straight.

                            FZ is utter fun when you ride it in city, FZ handles more better and best than RTR in city. RTR is not less though but not par FZ in handling and fun! RTR is only for speed.

                            BTW i have ridden almost all bikes in high segments so i know what RTR and FZ are, Please ride both and then pen down here. Guide if you can in proper sentiments!!

                            Here there is no Fanism at all!!
                            firstly i am a rtr fan.
                            secondly i have ridden a fz over 7000 km.
                            rtr is a street-fighter.how come it is no fun on city road?
                            how come rtr abs is way ahead over standard rtr except braking?
                            both rtr and fz handles good in city.moreover you know rtr is gem in handling,people use it on track days,not fz.
                            rtr is not about speed,it is about how quick you get to the speed.
                            i am afraid to say although you claim to have ridden all high segment bike your knowledge is limited about dynamics of a bike.
                            and the question remains why do i race?
                            every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

                            • Friends, I hope the thread should be concluded.

                              Coz the thread starter has decided on RTR and I sincerely congratulate on his choice. Also we have spoken enough about the 160/180/ABS variants.

                              So no more point in talking about FZ16 or any other bike.

                                @Somen1984 : The usage of words is highly unacceptable...Doing it you are only heading towards an infraction...And please check the grammar.

                                And I thought we had something called xPolice...Really sad to see mods have been ignoring this kind of pointless discussion till now.
