[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
U hit 131 during run-in? Moto tuning or wat?

thanks for informing bro

let them pounce

i would prefer what an rtr 160 guy says then what a person running a refined engine says
he certainly wont be able to compare vibs of 160 and 180

The seats are comfy and soft enough. Even the pillion riders had no complaints about the seats
Well i cannot relate it with the 160 as i have not ridden it.
@Sathya:
it rained cats and dogs the same evening i took the delivery of my bike, and i didnt have any scary moments with the rubbers. They were grippy enough. I arrived home fully drenched which i think is apparent from my first photo uploads.

oh so finally the 'massaging' crown will be given to the new 180....
but if its more than the FI....
it'll loose ur bone joints..........

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...
the 180 will be suffring with the same "no power" below 4000 like FI so in traffic u have to ride it in lower gears....
the tyres are TVS remember so dont expect them to perform nicely...

u can try reducing the pressure though tht results in slightly more grip...(m running 28 rear and 20 front)

one more thing...

GET RID OF THAT SAREE GUARD....

Frankly speaking,the R15 tyres are possibly the most amazing 110 profile tyres ever made for any Indian bikes providing ample grip even on rainy conditions,TVS tyres just don't live up to that standard .I might opt for dunlop in a considerable amount of time .
