    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      If you have the money, go for the R15 with eyes closed.

      But if you are looking from maximum performance per rupee point of view, then RTR 180 comes up trumps.It does everything almost as good as the R15 and still costs a good 30-35k cheaper.

      The two things in which the RTR lags behind by a good margin is: Top Speed and Engine Refinement.Rest a test ride of these two machines will make you clearer in making the final decision.

                  if you want the bike for drag then go ahead with the P220 or A180.. R15 main power lies in the higher gears..

                  R15 has best handling+braking+looks

                    i think my option would be the R15, but apache is more VFM it does everything the r15 can do but it lacks refinement! and IMO apache has a slightly better riding stance than the r15(its too uncomfy for a tall guy like me)

                      +100. Without a single doubt R15. And I think the RTR is not Eligible to be compared with the R15..

                          for both r15 and rtr180
                          both bike takes around 4 sec for 0-60 and around 13 sec for 0-100 but after that Apache 180 gets disappear due to lower Top Speed

                              r u ppl sure that r15 is good for stunting as in the best stunt bike thread RTR is give the award and in the r15 thread ppl r talking about cracking of alloys
                              when a wheelie ends the front get a jerk and is stoppies the rear get a jerk that may crack the alloy.

                              In performance rtr180 delivers 17.3ps@8500rpm and 15.5 NM @ 6500 rpm
                              r15 delivers 17 PS @ 8,500rpm and 15 NM @ 7500 rpm
                              and r15 win a drag race

                              ppl please psot exact timings

                              @Satyamzma can u please tell me how the rtr is good for heavy traffic and what about r15, is it not good for heavy traffic ?
