    Apart from price factor I think RTR FI is the right choice compared to FZ and P135. It is gud all_rounder both touring and city rides and a studio product
    Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the seat.

      I think p135 falls absolutely in ur requirements when compared to the other too..

        Hi Guys,

        Thanks for all your suggestion...
        Now I have almost finalized to buy Apache 180..(white color of course).
        Going to book it within 2 weeks of time...
        Still have some doubts ..so think better to ask before I go for the beast.

        1.Mileage is a concern to me... I need around 40-45 kmpl... but after going through various ownership thread i am little bit confused...Will any apache 180 owner clarify me ... at least how much mileage I will get......

        2.This is only for chennai Xbhpian who own RTR 180.. How is the service of RAMKAY TVS ,ADYAR..
        I got some bad feed back...

        Else all izz well.... Have alredy took the test drive... And fall in love with the bike in really short time..awesome bike and and awesome handler..that i can say...

        So guys let me have your precious comments....

              FZ for sure

              Well my dear friend I have driven both FZ and Pulsar 135 LS for a long stretch.

              Definitely the amount of pleasure and comfort in FZ is more than P135 LS. For mileage P135 LS may be ahead but on all other things FZ is far superior.

              Also i have never driven any RTR so no ideas, but if you have to decide out of these 3 bikes and money is not a constraint then FZ is the best

                RAMKAY TVS ,ADYAR is very good. I did my first 4 free services there. Initially they were having some issues with the FI system, Now everything is fine. Also 2 of my friends who own RTR 180 service there.They also said it was good.

                    Could you please let me know what are the negatives you faced while riding P135 over FZ? How long did you ride both.

                          so this my experience my friend got Apache 160 FI and I got FZ

                          Apache PICKUP AND POWER is awesome thrill is there...

                          But Apache seat is uncomfortable, seating posture, loads of vibrations at rpm above 6k, and the most annoying part is SUSPENSION it got crap SUSPENSIONS looks are just OK TO ME..

                          FZ: Great looks smooth and thrill is there too

                          Got no vibs, but wide handlebars that might be uncomfortable to some.. not for highway commutes

                          I had to make the same descision between Apache and FZ but in the end it was FZ-S for me..

                          and after riding my friends apache for some time I think I made a better descision... as I can sacrifice on FE and POWER but not on comfortable riding..
                          Riding, loving and enjoying my lord of the streets.. FZ-S...

                          And dreaming of an R6/R1/FZ1/CBR 1000RR

                            Exactly. Seats are stiffer & due to great handling, suspension is also quite stiff. Unless you put some well cushioned seat covers, riding in a long stretch is not so much comfortable. Riding stance is nice & without any problems.

                            Comparatively, RTR has better riding comfort than P135
