    Yamaha FZ-16 or Pulsar 180 DTSi ???

    guys help me (actually my friend) out
    he's so confused.
    he's going to get a bike as his b'day gift at around middle of next month.
    although he's very much attracted towards the fz-16, still, confusion stays between what should he select finally.. the fz-16 or pulsar 180 (the two that he shortlisted, mostly coz of the close price range)

    i didn't find any comparison between these specific two here... among the recent threads

    so if you people can help (which i know you definitely would as i saw so many helpful threads here.. (btw, i'm a new member to this community, and personally own a p220, which i did suggest him, but it's l'il out of range for his wallet))

    appreciation in advance

      tell us a bit about the person wanting to buy the bike...like his needs and his wants out of the bike...power acceleration mileage feel etc...only then can u get proper responses...

      and fz16 is jus about 4k cheaper than the p220....so if he is considering the fuzzy then should definitely look at the p220 also....

          Yes, if you are just considering price, then there are many bikes in or around the same price range. RTR 160 FI, RTR 180, P180, P220 ..
          So depending on your frnd's requirement he can pick one.

          Personally RTR 180 or P220, is the best VFM for money while FZ is the best looker, nice/smooth machine.

            it depends on his needs and riding style...you have a lot of choices in the price bracket.RTR180,P220 and even P180 are great VFM buys...but FZ too appeals a lot due to it's styling and it is also a good city bike

              first of all.. thanks to all who replied

              now, i had a talk with him again.. as i asked what he wanted:

              • he just needs a bike for the sake of having (and riding) a bike (is it just tashan ?)

              • mainly he wants looks

              • and performance

              mileage, he said, is a factor.. but also said that he can negotiate

              and the limit his wallet can offer is around 70K. (the extra 5k if he can afford he'll definitely think of p220, so we just want to know about fz and p180 here)

              and if it can help, he's around 5 foot and 6 inches

                Then(height wise), my vote is for RTR 180 and FZ 16. Though you can ride any bike with any height(almost) ... but these are the best handler bikes around, so the ideal ones if it is the first bike for your freind. In those:
                - if he has more importance for power over looks/style then RTR
                o.w. FZ16

                That's all what I can suggest you.

                  my vote too goes for the RTR 180 and FZ...P180 too is good,but it usually gets overshadowed by the A180 in most discussions...If the priority is looks,the FZ it is.RTR 180 or P180 if he wants a little more dough out of his bike for the same price...

                    first of all, i don't know why but he's not considering a TVS

                    and even i've suggested him the p180 as a VFM

                    surely FZ for the looks.. which still has caught his mind so much

                      Tell him to go for P180 Best VFM bike.when coming to performance segment P180 simply rockzz.& regarding looks that is individuals opinion.

                      For me P180 looks good than FZ[personal opinion no offence].

                        if he wants to concentrate on the mileage part...stay away from the fuzzy....looks gr8...handles smoother than butter ...but mileage is low due to fat rear tyre....35-40kmpl is average....

                        pulsar are a dime a dozen and 150 180 and 200 all look the same...a change here...a fin der ...different rear bars... nothin really hit out like the 220s...ideally i wud vote for the 220 for the tashan that he wants....

                          Test Ride is best way to decide

                          You should not let others decide for you, go to both showrooms and ride both for 5-10 kms and Bingo you have the answer

                            FZ all the way. and definitely he seems hooked to the FZ. so what's the confusion???

                            • and performance

                            obviously P180, but FZ is also not an underpowered bike. its quite a capable bike and a great handler and very easy to ride.moreover he will get eyeballs everywhere he go ,plus enough power to keep happy as well.

                            mileage, he said, is a factor.. but also said that he can negotiate

                            both returns the same kind of mileage. nothing to choose here.

                            and the limit his wallet can offer is around 70K. (the extra 5k if he can afford he'll definitely think of p220, so we just want to know about fz and p180 here)

                            and if it can help, he's around 5 foot and 6 inches

                            with that height he should be comfortable on both the bikes , but FZ has a lower seat and is a lighter bike.and a more comfortable one also. this comes from a guy who is 5'4..

                            i ride a 220 and i rode the FZ and found it to be a very good handler plus enough power to keep you happy in the city. FZ is a chick magnet. even my girl calls it "shahrukh khan ka bike" . and everytime i talk about upgrading my 220 pat comes the reply-"we will buy the "shahrukh khan ka bike" poor girl she thinks FZ 16 is the same bike that SRK flaunts in Rab ne bana di jodi.the only good thing is, if i need to buy that bike sometime in future, i know i dont have to convince anyone

                            if your fren is inclined more towards style then FZ should be his choice.


                            OT: my heart is on RTR180, great looks and power .
