Of Course TVS Apache RTR 200 4v race edition with ABS is better option for the reasons :-1.Styling: It looks better and appeals to a major audience in comparison to Avenger ...read more

street 220 which is designed as a cruiser and only those people will admire it who are fond of cruisers and on other hand TVS Apache RTR 200 will get more attention because of it's styling it is sporty and has it's own distinctive Character2.Performance: in performance front too TVS Apache RTR 200 4v is clear winner because it's engine is more modern and punchy compared to avenger's detuned engine which is derived from pulsar 220 and it's power figures are also lowered so you will miss on both acceleration and top end if you get avenger street 220.3.Vibrations: here also Apache Wins hands down because it has 4 valves and a good balancer shaft and a double cradle frame which is stiff enough and unlike older Apaches RTR 200 is a totally different bike in terms of vibrations which are merely present on top end and than also they are very minor vibes on the other hand bajaj has done nothing serious to reduce vibrations on Avenger street 220 so it will vibrate nore than Apache but it will not vibrate more than pulsars and older apaches (160 and 180).4.handling: here i don't think i have to explain you anything as you know a sporty naked bike's handling is way better than that of a cruiser but then also i would like to add some more info about RTR's handling, i have ridden both RTR 200 and Duke 250 and in my opinion RTR's handling is even better than that of duke's even it is marginally better but it is so avenger is no match here because TVS Apache RTR 200 4v race ediotion gets a very good chassis which is double cradle frame and it has amazing set of suspensions to support it's handling Apache has KYB telescopic forks up front (and they look gorgeous too because of golden paint) and it has raised clip on handlebars and i assume that you know that clip on handlebars are best for cornering and for sporty riding in general all that makes apache a super handler.5.Comfort: it is the area where avenger rules over any other bike in the segment it has segment leading comfort because of its heavily cushioned seats and very soft suspension setup and a very relaxed and upright riding posture due to raised up handlebars on the other hand apaches riding comfort is not bad but it is simply no match for avenger, Apache's seat is also comfortable and riding posture is sporty but comfortable at same time and suspension setup is also good for indian roads but if you want comfort avenger is the bike which is better.6.refinement and exhaust note: you will fall in love with Apache rtr 200 if you will listen it's exhaust note it is best sounding single cylinder bike in my opinion its exhaust is very bass heavy and throaty and after warm up it sounds like a parallel twin engine it so much refined engine that you won't believe that it is a TVS bike and on the other hand avenger has no such advantages upon its rival here it is good though but RTR is better bike here in terms of exhaust note and refinement.7.features: TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Race Edition 2.0 is a feature rich bike you get an ooption of Fi and you get a option of ABS on the other hand Avenger does not have any Fi option but it also has ABS but then also TVS's bike wins here because Apache has Dual Channel ABS (which is functional on both front disc and rear disc) whereas avenger have only single channel ABS (it is functional only on front disc) and TVS apache RTR also get many features which are not present even on the other bikes of the segment like Slipper Clutch and its Console has so much information like gear position indicator and lap timer, top speed recorder and 0 to 60 acceleration timer and many other functions which are high tech.and a special point also.Suitability for shorter riders: as i can see by your choice of bikes i am assuming you want a bike which is suitable for shorter riders and in that aspect avenger is better because it has low saddle height but trust me (as i am a 5 foot 5 inch guy) you will find TVS Apache RTR a bit uneasy initially but after some days you will get habitual of it and you will be very comfortable after some days trust me as i find it very suitable for me and it is a better bike for college guys.
