      1.) A decent mileage
      2.) Riding comfort (have to travel 30 Kms, one side, to reach office)
      3.) Easy handling
      4.) n....finally...."Looks"

      Kindly advice
      Well As far as mileage is FZ give me about 30-33 kms/l. Riding comfort is a big thumbs up as it is very comfortable to ride. Handling is very good in the city and highway. Well Looks - damm good I would say. Well this is my option you are the one to choose.

      Smile at everyone you meet and make someone happy.

          @Thread Starter : Get the Test Drive of both the bikes and its you who will ride the bike not others. Some loves Katrina, some loves Priyanka, that does not mean that Bipasha is not good, everyone will have different views and perception.
          So get the bike that "you" think is better
          Fare thee well xBhp, All the best for being the biggest name in corporate world

              take a test ride,frankly saying i would anyday choose rtr over fz
              and the question remains why do i race?
              every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

              #i have learnt to manipulate my own adrenaline and the perception of biking is different.
              #overkill is underrated.
              #how random roads may appear there is always a destination.sigpic
              #i don't subscribe to co-incidence,either it is the rider or the other moron on the road

              (:)people keeps on saying add spark to life, bajaj got hold of that idea and added an extra spark to bike.

                """""I am confused between the above two bikes....though I had (n still have) an inclination towards "The Beast" (TVS). I took a test drive of the same and found it pretty much different as compared to the earlier version. The overall wt of the bike has been reduced, no vibrations at higher rpms, pretty smooth riding, comfortable seating, etc.""""""" - SEEMS YOU ARE PRETTY MUCH INCLINED TOWARDS RTR.

                I never actually got a chance to test ride the LOTS however. my primary concerns being-
                1.) A decent mileage-
                2.) Riding comfort (have to travel 30 Kms, one side, to reach office)
                3.) Easy handling
                4.) n....finally...."Looks"
                ALL THE ABOVE FEATURES WERE MENTIONED BY FELLOW
                XBHPIAN WHICH PROBABLY IS SAME ANSWER IN MY CASE AS WELL.
                Kindly advice

                IN PARTICULAR, if you summarize. FZ is a bike which you will love to just sit for hours due to ride ability, build quality, punchy and reliable engine smooth gear shift, zapping in the city traffic, a complete feel of comfort.

                IN RTR, speed as the power delivery is more and you will feel the urge to rev the throttle more and more. Best Advice: Take a test ride. It will automatically come to you which bike is for you. Trust me on this All the best and do post pics when you do get one. EAGERLY waiting.

                            Bipasha is not good, she has loads of stories hidden behind.

                                @Mods : Seems the thread starter is missing from the scene. I would request to close this thread(temporarily till the thread starter comes back) before it becomes quality, styling etc etc war zone
