My vote is for RTR180

rennycornelius

As you just saw in the last replies, pulsar guys will vote for pulsar, and RTR guys will vote for RTR, both bikes have their plus and minuses, go test drive both the bikes and decide on your own, and if you want to know lot on these bikes, spend few hours going through their respective threads.

there's already been a discussion on the same topic, check it out on the what bike section.

I do not know own either of bikes.. but here is my review from TD's of both bikes had on the same day.

I stand & weight same as U..

RTR 180 is so much fun to ride in the city. Initial grunt is fantastic & vibes can be dealt with, it is not too much a problem but I felt bike to be small.. I did not get the Big bike feeling.

P180 - Very nice bike.. Big bike feel Initial is not like RTR but not less fun as well, bike feels much refined than RTR & very comfortable to cruise @ 80, 85kmph than RTR

IMO - I felt very comfortable with P180 for my height & considering I will be doing Occasional trips on weekends P180 sounds better than RTR 180.

If it is only city rides then my vote goes for RTR 180

RTR 180 anyday, If you feel your height suits the ride (many of the riders are of your height and some of them are above 6). So Test Drive both.

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.

Well, I don't own both of them; IMO, since the days of RTZ, Bajaj is an all rounder for a short term, however they're not well suited on long term. I somehow believe (could be my illusion too) most of the Bajaj vehicles are don't last long & they rattle a lot. They may have the best top speed & mileage compared to any TVS product, but, you can still see a few AX or MAX 100 owners more compared to RTZ or KB125. This is my opinion.

At 5'11, you're pretty big for most Indian bikes. Forget how quick or fast it can go. It won't matter 99% of the time. Heck, I have these little ladies on Scooty(s) always gets ahead of me on signals. BTW I ride ZMA-R . Try to get the bike that will be comfortable for you 99% of the time. So in my opinion, size will matter for you in the long run so my vote on P180.

I can suggest a big bike for a small person, but not a small bike for a big person.

Both the bikes are good comparitively.The choice is yours,if you want jaw-breaking performance go for the rtr180 else the pulsar's always there.but if you would ask me ...my vote RTR 180!

p180 is older and refine than a180..it has awesome handling..seating,looks more aggressive and good than A180..so go 4 p180..

If you have racing DNA in you the rtr180 is the un-doubted choice.you will really enjoy riding it.great handling in corners.

With P180 you get big bike feel,decent engine but not as aggressive as RTR.
Good for long tours than RTR but for trips under 400 kms I thing RTR will be equally comfortable.Pulsar 180 scores decently in all but extraordinary in none.

So just test these bikes once,and I tell you if you are a RTR guy at heart you'll be inclined to it in 1 ride itself.Aur signal nahi mila to go for P180,which is also a great bike
