Smile Finally Zma Replaced

After going through numerous posts,test riding lot of vehicles,starting some new threads,all of these at last came to an end.
After some lows and highs on my 3 year old Karizma I finally got my real mean machine Apache RTR Fi 160 in sporty orange colour.
I really love its handling and the sexy blue lit speedo.
But the first sad thing I noticed was the sick rear tyre it doesn't give any grip at all,the other thing was the riding position as i was riding Karizma for last three years so when i ride it long it hurts my back.
Anyways now enjoying lots of power,sometimes wheelies pop up when I upshift to 2nd gear.
The service men said wait for three service and it would pop up a wheelie in 3 rd gear
Thanks to all the Xbhpians who gave me lots of good advice.

Congrats on your new bike. Orange really rocks.

1 question though, why change from Karizma to RTR, why not a p220?
