    Help me in choosing the right machine

    This is my first thread in xbhp and i ve been an silent observer of this site for a longg time.Am going to get my self a new bike within a month ..I ve targeted the RTR refresh model with rear discs.
    I'll be using to college daily and may be a few long trips somewhere along but mostly city commuting.My height is 5'8 and i weigh around 65kgs.My budget is 65-70k at max.
    Thank you

        The Apache RTR rd is a good choice and will suit you well . at the same price you can also look at Pulsar 180 , FZ 16 as well . any more details you want to clarify ?

          My budget is around 65 to 70k, so Fz goes out of the list plus i prefer an RTR to the Fz.How much does the P180 cost on road here in chennai>?

            Welcome aboard.

            I see you've clearly stated that you need RTR, so what's your question & what's the help you need with selecting a bike?

              ^^ Exactly. @jisaw91 - you set your heart on RTR go for it. Its a nice machine with good heart. But if you could tell us what other bikes you have in mind, then others can provide you the advantages/comparisons/their views.

                if you're fine with RTR,just go for it...Pulsar 180 must cost around 72-73k IMO in chennai...

                  RTR 180 is the best bet in the budget you are looking at.

                  Alternatively if you are the cruiser type, you could look at the avenger 200 as well.


                  My offerings to the gods of speed -

                  - KTM Duke 200
                  - Yamaha RXZ 5 speed

                    I guess The RTR 180 is around 74-75k , So it doesnt fit into your budget . P180 is around 73k , Fz too falls in this range . So Choose your Machine right , check the pros and kons of all the bikes .

                      Thank you

                      For city trips, in my opinion the fz is the best bike. Low gear ratios, excellent low end and mid end torque and not so bad high rpm performance, It is a good buy at 72000 onroad. I own one and after 6 months and 3000kms later, I have no complaints.
                      The rtr 160 and 180 are good bikes and have the added advantage of power plus 50 mileage. But one problem would be the seating position. Its a sort of crouched one and would cause back pain. which is just a virtual thing in the fz 16. Anyway if you are bent on rtr, then it would be the best for you.
                      Reduce 1 km/hr speed, add 1second 2 ur life.
