@ceebeer: I test rode Apache 160 and Apache 180(ABS) back-to-back and the A180 had LESSER vibes IMHO.

@pavan6754:
I am also going to change my 2006 Yamaha Libero soon.. after test drives, zero'ed on A180-ABS and waiting now for Aug end to take delivery.. I loved it's punchy exhaust note, great acceleration and no-nonsense mean look.

For all your requirements, A180 seems good. If you go through the A180 ownership thread, just Apache needs regular maintenance/timely servicing. Also, in city the mileage will be ~40km/ltr which is a tad less than your requirement.

Take a test drive and I'm sure you will like it!

Thanks a lot all for your precious comments....

Finally..

I am 5'7 ft height and 70 kg person.. Will be i am facing any back pain on RTR180. Also i am not that well experienced rider..(Till now i have ride my fathers passion and friends pulsur....)

And also can any one ..please post a comparison b/w New CBZ extreme and RTR180.. (wrf to my criteria including comfort levels)

Thanks in advance for your suggestions..

180 -62.8 x 57.8 mm
160 -62 x 52.9 mm
so the 160 has short stroke length than 180 consequently good low end punch making city usage more fun

Hi Raja,

Do you mean that it suits my personality.Sorry i am not ware of any technical words.

And i also have a second thought for New CBZ extreme(it also looks great)
So need to confirm which really suits me..

Thanks,
Pavan.

guys i suggest you continue your 160 vs. 180 argument on a separate thread and help our friend out in picking a bike......


the 180 is a great bike go for it I dont think you would have any backpain problems its just a matter of getting used to the riding position....and in a few days you will find it pretty comfy...

@pavan
The new cbz is a very nice package overall but at a premium see to what you need and which one will satisfy your needs the most ;try td both cbz and rtr and then decide(dont go for td with the showroom instead try borrowing from anyone you know who has the bike because by doing so you can ride it for a considerable long time that you really get to know the feel of both bikes exactly)
@revvhard i wasnt comparing 160 vs 180 was explaining my point to pavan why i suggested 160
drove both 180 and 160 back to back, but felt the 160 more suited for city riding; also the 160 return better FE figure than the 180 .

CBZ Xtreme : OTR 70-80K, mileage 45-50kmpl
Best midsegment bike (now a days I see many complaints about segment best Unicorns), addictive mid-range, I have seen 80K done Xtreme and it still rock like new bike....
Karizma : OTR 90-100K, mileage 35-40kmpl
Personally I believe it is still the best looking bike in India, proven engine and loads of torque, easy cruise at 100-110 makes this bike the best all-rounder, mileage is a negative but the bike is total FUN
