If you are focussed towards RTR160/180...then better go for it......I think RTR180 suit your requirements.....it looks sporty,flickable in traffic,has got descent mileage(40-48kmpl) & about performance....no words for it....it will never let you down....be it on traffic light GP..OR hill twisties..the bike has got enormous amount of torque in each & every gear...Just take a test drive of this bike and you will know about it's sheer performance!!!

A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

Decent Mileage, Sporty look, Good performance

The bikes that come to mind,
- Apache 180 / Pulsar 180
- FZ16/Hunk/CBZ/Dazzler/Unicorn - More street bikes than a sporty one.

Given the tiny list and removing pulsars, its left with Apache. Its good choice nevertheless, you won't regret it

RTR is known for it's vibes. It vibrates b/w 3.5-4.8k RPM, after that, it is smooooth!! Fellow RTR 160 Refresh owner. Just 4 months new I would suggest you go for the RTR 180 if you are considering RTR. The torque is AWESOME!!

if you have made up your mind then go for it
but i would suggest you to go through ownership thread of the bike you have shorlisted and then take a test ride and then go for the final decission
never be in a hurry
even check out hh hunk/dazzler/cbz xtreme
