      if you can get the R15 then get it.. it is the best bike... with the best performance and everything.. btw in your list no bike will give you more than 45 mileage other than than cbz..

      FZ16 - Great handling + Great Looks + Good Power Below the speed of 100..

      Neg- uncomfortable pillion, Less mileage compared to others between 33-38 if you rip the bike.. , overpriced right now.. 75k is too much for the bike..

      Apache 180 - Great performer + Rear DISC + Great power + TOP END + VFM

      Neg- Less comfortable , Suspension , Mileage is also around 35-45 ..

      you can also get the P220..

        Is TVS Apache RTR 180's suspension is not good,and Is R15 good for city riding as its to much sporty Posture than APache, I will surely ride my bike some time on the highways with approx 10 -150 KM distance will this long distance travel in sport bike like YR15 be not uncomfortable. Here in my city Jamshedpur R15 costs Rs 1,04,900

          Suspension on RTR is fine not very good not very bad...

          if sporty seating position is your prob.. then you should get the P220.. it is overall better than RTR and is very good..

            for the kind of mileage you are expecting,the GS and Uni are better options... you can also look at cbz-x/hunk or pulsar 150...go for the P220,R15or RTR180 only if you can survive on arnd 40kmpl mileage...

              Go for the GS150 or the CBZ extreme.. they may give 50kmpl (They May)
              Otherwise RTR would feel a bit small for you since you are 6ft.. also expect arnd 40kmpl with these machines... So keep all these factors in mind before you select your machine.. And I would always say take a test ride before you make up your mind...

              PERSEVERE... failure is not an option!

                though i rarely suggest a pulsar, but IMO a pulsar 180 suits you a lot!

                      Well..with you being 6 ft tall..i'm not sure if R15 will be comfortable for you..!
                      U need to test ride it to know for sure..!
                      And mileage..you are not going to that kind of figure with the bikes you specified..!
                      Pulsar (180 , 220s, 220f) all are a good option for you..!!
                      And I was wondering why Karizma was not in your list..! It should suit you well..!
                      Its stable at high speeds, comfortable..with a good fuel economy around 40..!
                      Think about it..!

                          RTR180 is the way to go, once you ride it you wont feel to get down away perfect for city and highway riding.

                            HI

                            If mileage(50-55) is one of your concerns then forget the yams. They are a diff league of bikes. Go for the pulsar150 only if u like it. I wouldn't suggest it because it is too popular. No problem with the bike. It comes with loads of features.

                            HH Hunk is my suggestion. I have driven my friend's Hunk. I assure u mileage above 50. Also it comes with good throttle response. The engine is butter smooth. You cannot hear anything for the engine bay when driving. You can have a relaxed ride.

                            Another worthy bike considering is the Honda Unicorn. I am not sure about the mileage. But upto my understanding it gives 50+. Again this bike's engine is same as the one in the Hunk. But a slightly modified one.
                            Mono suspension gives you excellent handling.

                            The Suzuki GS150R is a good bike, but I wouldn't suggest it because the company is under development phase.

                            Take a test drive and ask experts(i am not one) abt mileage. Never ask the showroom guy abt mileage.

                              Apache 160 or 180

                              160 for mileage and 180 for performance riding..
