    Apache 160 RTR FI-
    1. Newer Package
    2. Better fuel efficiency
    3. Suited for city riding
    4. Excellent high revving engine
    5. Sharp handling

    Zma -
    1. More than 5 yrs old package
    2. Lower fuel efficiency
    3. Suited for the highway
    4. Torquey relaxed engine
    5. Stable handling

    But Apache 180 is coming out, which will be more VFM. If you are not considering the Zma, I suggest you wait for the same.
    Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!

      BTW RTR FI's vibrations get lesser after 2-3 services - that's what I've heard. Mine's about 800km old so can't say much about the vibrations issue. But other than that, the bike sure does rock!
      OMG?????????FZ with fairing?any idea when this is going to launch?and any links to this FZ with fairing?

        Any idea when the Apache 180 is coming out? I can wait till June but i heard somewhere its not gonna hit the markets before December. And also my height is 5'10". So will the Apache suit me on this section? I dont wanna look like driving a small bike.
        You can only ride better tomorrow if you ride safe today.

          Nah... most probably at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. Definitely not anywhere near December!

              Either the faired FZ or the new RTR 180 for you.

                RTR 180 would probably suit your bill....


                Expected is a great performance with some stunning apache-clad features

                But nobody has an idea of the pricing of this bike....
