    dude remember the R15 pulled the pants off the P220 FI at the track.....
    Renny But still RTR 160 can beat the shit out of R15 and we saw it in kari speedway and joel too was there!! btw. it was TVS factory team that did!

        but remember my answer was between RTR and FZ....
        RTR is sold as commuto-Sportz-econo-track bike !! A chequered sticker, so called TVS racing legacy and repeated track ads don't make RTR a track bike, there's only one track bike and it's R15.

          Lolz. I am dying to see you changing your above mentioned words when a RTR 180 takes up on the R15 and beats it at that!!

                  oh ho......

                  dude the RTR still beats P220FI around the track....
                  and if you still think that the said chequered sticker and track ads are doin this then take both to kari speed track and dont be surprised if the 180 posts better timings then R15...

                  and i said and will be saying this that it depends a LOT on the driver to extract the best timings outta anybike...
                  no tom,dick and harry who revs his bike at the signal can do that....

                    But no denying the fact that the RTR series looks like a plush comuter, as I said before a plusher splendour, But the FZ series and the R15 are true contemparary bike designs. And look quite at home on any European landscape. Truly contemperary and international motcycles the Yamahas are.

                        Well my heart says go for the FZ-S so I am doing that..

                        1# reason Apache is a racing bike and the roads in kanpur are not so good.. after every sec there is a pit and speed breakers so won't be able to use the Apache the way it is meant to be..

                        2# Yea I am going for the style.. I checked out the white version of Apache too still no match of FZ, FZS , Fazer... I don't like the headlight of Apache.. looks punny..

                        Apache rocks no doubt about that.. It is better than FZ overall but still I am going for FZ for the above two reason as I will mainly be using the bike for city commuting and FZ rules there.

                        Thank you everyone

                        Apache and FZ both rocks
                        Riding, loving and enjoying my lord of the streets.. FZ-S...

                          just be careful of potholes buddy , Fz has light weight alloys that easily crack when hit at potholes .the low profile tires also dont help in his regard .
