    Dude! as far as the reliability is concerned, it is good enough. Bajaj had its Dts-fi earlier on with a lot of niggles but now they have improved upon a lot of them and IMO the bike is as reliable as you make it to be..... being a premium segment bike, you have to take a li'l bit of care: get services, oil changes and refrain from abusing it (read: revving high in initial stages). I guess it should pretty much suit your needs. Go for it!!

                I was just watching the Thread, What have you thought..'


                Honestly speaking, Even if i would have money to buy a Bike i would be keeping choices in My mind..
                I am planning to do so, still ZMA or 220,but there is not point posting for it..
                you will ultimately go for what you like.. So, keep in mind what you want

                you like Apache, Go For It..
                it has got no Flaws, i have test ridden it, and on the weight of a person 90kgs+ i reaches 134kmph..
                Cornering,it goes likes anything, there might be thread also see (RTR Beats R1, Khadapathar Trip)..
                Initial Acc, you can't catch it. Flickable, Amazingly Good.. Mileage, Upto your Satisfaction.

                What else would you need?

                Remember:
                The Vehicle is just a Machine, The Speed is in YOU (The Rider i Meant, )
                (You have got Balls, you win it!!! Simple as That!)

                Go For it!

                  Hey guys,

                  I'm looking for a new bike too, I had my mind set on the 220 until the showroom guys told me it gives a mileage of just 25-30, I was expecting it to hover around 40. The Apache also seems like a good buy but I'm not too sure if it will be comfortable for touring. Can someone confirm the fuel efficiency of the 220 or the comfort of the rtr 180?

                    The fuel-efficiency of p220 is abt. 40-45 in city and 50+ in highways. The pbk guys in my city had also confirmed me this. And about the comfort of RTR,its good and RTR has a very sporty position. You would not feel uncomfortable on it unless u r very heavy build and have a much taller height.
