    Ok, i am R15 owner, i have driven both FZ and RTR160 n 180. I would say go for RTR if you like to burst your way out of the traffic without worring about anything. If you like to keep it simple and attract people's attention FZ is hands down to be owned. Crusing on both the bike is good, both the bikes are happy when riden between 60-70Kms, yes RTR will make you feel slow so you will be pushing the throttle eventually (She is naughty for sure) .

    So take your pick...

      thank god this is not an apache ownership thread!!

      -FZ better braking, better handling,much better looks(despite looks being subjective and all if I make a poll only apache owners will vote for apache looks), better chassis, better refinement, better tyres, reliability, not much problems, cheap spares,more torque, much more comfortable, and great mid and low range grunt, weighs less so can be handled by almost anyone..

      apache owners please see this!!!

      allright you win

      apache has horrible handling,worst reliabilty,very problematic,extremely costly spares,not at all comfy,no touque at all,weighs like a truck right????
      apache 160 does max 123 on speedo????maybe yeah!!!! but the top speed is 118 kmh real speed as claimed by bikeindia and several other mags whereas FZ is only 110 kmh true top speed see the difference.yeah right apache wobbles with a 100 kg pillion but FZ remains rock solid like the statue of liberty!!!!!!!!even fz also struggles with a heavy pillion

      YouTube - Apache rtr 160 going 124 km/h this video of apache rtr 160! observe the "dying"

      YouTube - FZ16 top speed part 1 video of FZ-16! observe the amazing power surge at 105!!! WOW!!!!

      last but not the least i am not here to create brand wars!
      bottom line-FZ for commutes
      apache for the RUSH!!!!!

        Read the thread from the starting I have proved all my points from the beginning

        FZ never wobbles with a heavy pillion common dude I can prove that meet me anytime or try it with your friend fz..

        YouTube - fz16 top speed

        now beat that speed of FZ???

        110 TOP SPEED is only because a 100 kg rider was using it checkout bikeindia.. I weigh around half of it

        FZ is just 1 step before apache 160 in performance.. it depends on how you ride it..

          @All... hey guys lets stop discussing it further...

          @MODS... the thread starter(@tappa) has not even replied for the last 5 pages or so, seems that he had left the thread, so there is no point here in discussing it over again... the thread must be "Closed" unless @tappa returns for the discussion, otherwise a spark of brand war is cooking up here..."
