TVS Apache RTR 180 vs Yamaha R15 V3

Question 1

Q. Can anyone help out in choosing between yamaha R15 and Apache 180???

Answer

Rtr 180 is actually fastest, pls don't under estimate it.Both the bikes have same weight,rtr got the power and it is quicker and faster than R15. RTR 180 will give you raw riding experiance, R15 may not be comfortable,RTR 180 is far better comfortable than R15, meanwhile R15 have refinement. Both these bikes are reliable, RTR 180 is far cheaper chan R15, It may be better that you buying ABS 180 rather ghan R15,R15 is also a very good motorcycle, Don't underestimate RTR 180 is slower,it is actully faster than R15.

Answer

If ur height is < 6 Feet R15 you can choose. Good Bike, Looks, Milage also fine Pillion will be an issue, in case of old lady and men. RTR is for family bike and Fun to ride, but I don't like the Vibration it gives, so I sold it and got R15 and I am happy. R15 initially gave some wrist and back problem but after some time it was fine, u can easily rife the bike for 30-40 minutes without break.

Answer

R 15 is more sport oriented and could give a maneouvering problem in city traffic...also the riding position is bent forward and the pillion is too high for comfort over long distances. RTR 180 does not have any of these drawbacks but may be slightly slower to accelerate and reach top speed. Recommend RTR since it is cheaper too .

Question 3

Q. Can I use R15 V3. 0 for long rides, 500 kms around without discomfort? If not which bike in this price range is better?

Yes u can go 500 kms around without discomfort by staying 30 minutes for every 100 to 120 Km On average i have a great experience go 1000 Km, height is below 5'9 - 5.5 its preferably otherwise it will be uncomfortable for long ride.

It's a good for 500 KiloMiter. But it's definitely not comtable but it's good choice for speed and performance and cornering

Question 4

Q. Which one is better between R15 V3 and RS200?

Answer

Both the R15 and RS200 have their individual advantages. The RS200 has more power and pickup owing to it's larger engine. It also has a more upright seating position compared to the R15 which may be preferable to many riders. The R15 has much better engine refinement, gear shifts and mileage. Although I would never recommend anyone trying to go for reckless speeds in India at least, the R15 has higher top speeds than the RS200. You can choose either bike based on your need. I personally have an R15.

Answer

Rs 200 has a better riding posture for a relax and comfortable ride compared to r15 v3 but ride quality is far better in R15 v3 with low vibrations and the top speed is also higher in V3 ( I have clocked around 157kmph on my bike) Hardware is also better in v3 so if you can adjust with the sportier ergonomics of the r15 v3 then you should definitely go for it. It just goes like a hot knife on butter in the corners !

Answer

I agree RS200 is faster than the R15 but R15 gives you more ride control and confidence . either at low speed or high speed R15 is more under control and user-friendly than the RS200. On highways at speeds over 100kmph you will find the R15 gliding and cornering like a walk in the park , where as in the RS200 you'll experience little less confidence comparetively.so if you want a safe , stylish and sporty bike I would suggest R15 v3 .

Question 5

Q. Will R15 V3 get USD forks in India? If yes, when it may get? Is it right time to buy R15 V3 BSVI now or wait for the USD forks version?

Answer
