Nope,no premium. 73,500 bucks flat at Bridgestone TVS for all colours including yellow,but yellow has not yet arrived and is expected in a month or so. Actually Bharath TVS,Jayanagar qoted a price of 73,300 bucks,but they hadn't received the stock and were going to start deliveries in about a month,and I had no patience to wait!

You did not get any special bikes .. other test ride reports on TVS Apache RTR 180:Now launched confirms that it has no/fewer vibes.

The helmet looks really good ..

Thanks,the price tag on it was the only thing which didn't look good!

How much was that for? In any case Balaji has got a reputation of not giving any discount while Megha enterprise 2-3 shops on the same road seem to always quote better prices. No idea about this helmet though.

Today I had taken the bike for a long ride on the highway, it feels very light and nimble. The tires are pretty good even on muddy roads. Shocks also did their job well, all the minor bumps could not even be felt. Fuel efficiency seems decent till now (one bar of the fuel level indicator has been consumed for 200kms). The power can be felt in all gears, so no need of changing gears quite often except in slow moving traffic.

P.S:Some more pictures...

Thanks for info about shock.. Shocks may be more softer due to longer swirgarm.. Is the seats are harder, semi-hard or softer?

congrats man....great ride...finally tVs has entered into the 180's range...

but white colour is just awesome

outworldly maniac · 06-20-2009, 11:03 PM

man the primary specification of rtr is not cc,,, not power
but VIBRATIONS

i think they would be there in the upper rpm range
one xbhpian test rode it and told vibrations is worse than his 160

but lets hope for the best

Congratulations dude. The white is simply stunning. The Rebel equally so. How much did it set you back by ?

Ok guys.A lot of people are not gonna expect this but I did a full run on 2 different 180s

.Mines done 200 KMs so far.Not yet registered =P[Felony Felony]
Top Speeds 131.Cud push it a little more.ran out of space =P
[Top speed run was done on a black test drive apache :P]
Throttle response is pretty sweet.
Gearbox isnt the best,but it'll do.I'm sure most owners of the FI know how fragile the gearbox actually is.
Tyres aren't the best again.It sucks in rainy conditions.Just drove in the rain today. @___@.
Handlings top notch. Pickup is amazing.Cold start problems are amazing too :P
Brakings pretty good again =]
Friggin love the bike =D

Can somebody elaborate on the vibe part,cause on the one I test drove , I couldn't feel much vibes...only prob it had at high revs was some sort of stability thing..I wouldn't really let that pass as vibrations ...
