TVS Apache 200 4V vs Yamaha FZ 25

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. Is this bike better than Yamaha FZ 25 - Apache 200 4V Race?

Answer

See i had taken the test ride of both, with fz 25 i found it powerful but boring. The suspension was tuned towards comfort. But apache was very fun to ride with good low to mid range. Fz 25 does have advantage of torque and legendry yamaha refinement but believe me apache is no slouch in refinement and top of that it comes with so much options with pirelli tyres abs and fi. Go for apache with Abs and pirelli tyres u wont regret. Thanks

Answer

Only if Yamaha hadn't suddenly decided to make all it's bikes fuel efficient, Fz25 would have turned out to be good. 250cc and the power is almost the same as Apache 200. Moreover the suspension is so soft that it was never meant to handle extreme riding

Answer

Hi Ameeruddin as Prashant is wright about it FZ 25 is boring but Apache is a lot fun to ride.

Answer

As you are confused between rtr 200 4v and fz25 abs i will suggest you to go with rtr as you have mentioned 40km of mixed ride,it delivers best in off-road as well as it has good suspension.mileage you can expect 30-35kmpl.As you are 5.4" you will not face any issues while riding. For cornering it is best in segment. Take a test ride on bad roads of both the bikes you will understand the difference.

Answer

I use RTR 200 race edition with ABS & slipper clutch and daily commute 30 kms in traffic. For Bangalore city ride this is best. Apply brake any where any time, it works amazingly. Suspension is better than any other bike I have used (RE).

Rtr 2004v for race like dynamics...mt 15 is a naked designed for streets.soits up to you.but mt15 can do all which space can do
