    Policemen ride Pulsars, is it affecting its sales?

      1. handling just not only depends and shines in the bike just cuz the bike has a monoshock,it's complete thing which depends on the chasis setup,tyres,suspension setup,weight distribution,swingarm position to name a few...

      2. and yes my frnd....
      you post a better track time in FZ/FZ-S/FAZER than RTR/RTR FI/RTR 180,and i'll sweep the whole track for you....
      1. Whatever, FZ handles much much better than RTR !!
      2. All track honours ONLY to R15 !! FZ a street bike !!

          as has been explained well earlier...if u want some raw fun, interested in those street GPs and crave for power then go for RTR but if u want to enjoy ur ride, want it to loom sexy and not so power enthusiast..then FZ.

          I rode FZ (being a 220 rider) and did not find it too exciting...comparatively RTR seemed more souped up..so make ur call buddy

            As you have already test ridden all of the bikes, its upto you to decide.Every bike has its pros and cons.It ultimately boils down to you how you weigh them.

              I think by test riding both the bikes,u may have to come to one conclusion.
              Even i personally feel RTR has an edge over FZ in the below things.

              Performance
              Handling
              Looks(White one)
              Mileage.

              Just think twice before making decision & stick to your heart
              Give way to trains.

                Pillion not comfy on fz

                Rtr is a fun bike , worth the money.

                    RTR - 180 Of what I ve read in the forums here on XBHP is a beast waiting to be unleashed in terms of outright power, and also suposed to handle very well. I have not ridden one yet. But the way I see it it looks like a plusher splendour.

                    FZ-S - Adequate power for city riding, you will be overtaking anything on the road with the flick of a wrist and the opposition is gonna run outta road before the FZ runs outta juice inside the city. Well atleast in bangalore this is the situation. I know cos I own one and am absoulutely in love with that machine. And the FZ-S looks really international and the whole package looks really solid.

                    But then listen to your heart get the steed of your desire, and all the best with your new ride.

                              there have been no Track test between RTr 180 and R15 renny . all the previous ones were with the Rtr fi . the new improved RTR 180 should make things interesting

                                no....
                                the RTR 180 will still find it very hard to beat R15 in track...

                                dude remember the R15 pulled the pants off the P220 FI at the track.....
