If I were to choose between the two machines, I would have perhaps chosen the TVS Apache 180. It seems to me a somewhat better machine than the P180, in-terms of the initial grunt, the manuverability, et al.
However, this is not to say the P180 is not a capable machine. It is quite as capable in it's own right, but at the end of the day, I would have happily ridden away the RTR 180 from the showroom.
