Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 vs TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

Question 1

Q. Which is better RTR 200 ABS or Fz25? What is mileage of both?

Answer

As a owner of rtr 200 4v i am telling you why i chose rtr 200 over fz 25 and then i will tell you why you should opt for fz 25 so let's start with rtr's pros over fz's1.Exhaust note: exhaust note of both the bikes are music to the ear of a rider but in my personal opinion I think RTR's exhaust note is likely superior to that of FZ's 20 exhaust note2. handling characteristics: handling of bobber bikes is so good but RTR's handlingis slightly superior to that of FZ's handling due to the sporty nature of the bike3. suitability: as a short rider I prefer RTR's riding dynamics more than FZS because RTR footpegs is slightly closer to the seat than that of FZS foot pegs so it becomes specially comfortable for short riders while FZ is neutral to the the all size of riders4 pricing: as you know that RTR is is slightly cheaper than FZ and it fulfills my needs also so I preferred RTR over FZnow the points in which which FZ is ahead of RTR1. there is no replacement for displacement: yes it is true because when you will write FZ it will surely feel that it is 250 cc bike and when you will ride RTR then it will give feel of 200 cc bike that exactly it is so if you need more torquey engine more usable power than FZ is quite ahead2: engine refinement: both the bikes are very refined with negligible vibrations but when you're considering specifically for the refinement of the engine then Yamaha is is slightly ahead of TVS and this improves the fuel economy of the FZ i own Apache so I know that its mileage is slightly less than that of every despite of having a smaller engine and slightly less power it gives less mileage so if you love mileage FZ25 should be your pick3: suitability: as I have mentioned earlier that RTR is specially made for shorter riders and it doesn't fits well with the medium-sized rider and the taller riders but it is not the case with the FZ which suits well with all sizes of riders so if you are a rider on taller side FZ should be your pick4. value for money: in spite of RTR being cheaper it is the FZ that is more value for money because it gets bigger engine better mileage and it gets Fi and abs together in that price which is not the case with the RTR rs people because it's a vs model doesn't have Fi so you can not call it value for moneyfinal verdict: both the bikes are very good you cannot go wrong with either of the bikes now it boils down to your personal preference and some subjective opinion that which bike looks more more pleasing to you and which brand is your favourite and the main point is here that what is your budget thanks

Answer

Both bikes come with 5 gears. engine capacity is different though. I haven’t ridden FZ25. But FZ25 doesn’t comes with ABS and from the safety point of view RTR ABS is good. But few issues with RTR is its stock headlamp doesn’t have enough power for night view, though high beam has enough to see. It comes with Carb only with ABS. Carb seems to feel outdated in this 21st century. On the pros side, it has beautiful weight distribution, the bike feel perfectly balanced to manoeuvre in city traffic, catches 100kmph so sweetly and runs butter smooth. I’ve done 130kmph in my RTR 200 ABS. Instrument cluster has whole lot of information. You don’t need to watch wrist watch or take out your smartphone when you’re late for the office and stucked in the traffic. Clutch feels light (my friend who has Avenger Street 220 said he has got the feel and meaning of Slipper Clutch after riding my machine). FZ25 has refined engine with EFI. But it has ordinary instrument cluster, doesn’t comes with ABS. Bottom line: I would suggest you to wait till 2019 April, you’ll get lot of options to choose from. You’ll get all bikes with ABS and FI will also come in many bikes. Or else EFI will make its way in all bikes from 2020 to comply the BS6 norms. 2019 May also marks the production of BS6 engines from many brands. And if you can’t wait to rev the engine then you should buy RTR ABS as safely is more important than the refinement of EFI (RE Classic 350 the best selling motorcycle of the country still comes CV Carburettor, this has helped me to get my set of wheels). Have a safe ride. Cheers!!!

Question 2

Q. Should i buy TVS Apache RTR 200 4V ABS or wait for MT-15?

Question 3

Q. Which is the most fuel efficient bike at a range of 200cc or above?

Answer

Hahaha...you are looking for a fuel efficient bike at 200Cc nd above brother you can't get both speed nd mileage together you have to compromise on one.Some of the 200CC bikes in india will give you max of 35kmpl rest will give you anywhere between 25-30kmpl. Anything above 200cc the mileage figure reduces to 23-28kmpl for 300cc-350cc bikes...If you are looking for a fuel efficient bikes then go for the 160Cc likes of apache 160 4V,Cb hornet 160 these are best in mileage in their segment..In 200Cc category apache 200 4V RC 2.0-30-35kmpl.Hero Xtreme 200R-33-37kmplPulsar ns 200 nd gixxer sf-30-32kmpl.

Answer

Apache 200 gives good milage as compare to other 200cc bikes.

Question 4

Question 5

Q. What is the difference between standard, ABS & fuel injection? In short, what is variants?

Answer

Good question dude..variants mean different form of a same thing.eg.bike with abs and with out...car with central lock and without.standard may be a varient upon which some features added...eg.. standard bike will have carberatur ..another varient fuel injection(see other answers)..ABS us antilock braking system which makes braking power distributed to wheels so that wheels don't get locked ..rear wheel Its a safety measure.. seen in bikes above 200cc.

Answer

Standard/carb: is easy to adjust. lacks throttle responce (when compared to FI). low cost. adjustment of fuel and air mixture can be done by a s***w driver and a spanar.FI: good throtle responce, good milage, provides better mid range in rtr. Any adjustments need to be done by pros with all the instruments making it expencive for modification and maintenance.I would prefer FI as it provides both acceleration and milage

Answer

Carb varient has good throttle and produce a raw performance as compared to fi varient.Fi varient has an edge of 2-3kmpl in terms of mileage than the carb varient.Fi varient has a negligible difference than the carb version.Carb is easy to operate while fi is new technology and little bit confusing.I have purchased the carb varient nd i will recommend you to go with carb varient.

Question 6

Q. Which would be a more reliable machine between RTR 200 4v and fz25 and even the MT15?

Answer

Selecting the right car would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has been the benchmark when it comes to 160cc motorcycles. With the BS6-compliant iteration, TVS has made sure it is still as sprightly, with the '21 update making it the most powerful bike in the 160cc sporty commuter class. The overall package and reasonable pricing make it a truly value-for-money motorcycle in its segment. TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is powered by a 159.7 cc engine. This Apache 160 4V engine generates a power of 17.63 PS @ 9250 rpm and a torque of 14.73 Nm @ 7250 rpm. And, that for Yamaha FZS 25 packed with amazing looks and powered by a 249 cc engine. This FZS-25 engine generates a power of 20.8 PS @ 8000 rpm and a torque of 20.1 Nm @ 6000 rpm. On the other hand, if we talk about The Yamaha MT 15 BS6 is more than just the R15 v3 sans fairing. The naked looks sharp is light and can be a hoot to commute. However, the compact riding posture might be a bit too tight for large riders. What is also disheartening is the poor switchgear and build quality as well as the lack of dual-channel ABS. Yamaha MT 15 is powered by a 155 cc engine. This MT 15 engine generates a power of 18.5 PS @ 10000 rpm and a torque of 13.9 Nm @ 8500 rpm. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision.
