[What Bike]: Wait for Apache RTR 180 or Get the Apache RTR 160? - Page 2 - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

@haxor: You didn't tell me in your PM that he was planning for a 2nd hand P220!

Anyways, my advice remains the same. Wait for the 180, don't be too strict about the date.
Good news is it will first come in the carb version, rear disc standard. He can go for that as soon as it comes, since you say he has already booked it.

He said yesterday night that he may go for a 2nd hand P220...and he is saying that if he waits for 2 months then he will get R15 or new P220

I always say new is new! No matter what he decides on!
I say, let him reconsider the date of 20th&wait for the following:
1. RTR 180 carb
2. P220 UG4
3. R15 new color schemes
&then make up his mind once&for all!

And yes mileage is also a factor and he also wants to know about the mileage and all those stuffs .
So I would request all the Gurus here to please help my friend to get his bike!

Launch of Apache 180 is expected within this month, as mentioned in the press release of TVS as well...while releasing the sale figures for the last month....
It seems to be a good bike....But pricing would be the deciding factor.......

And I would also like to know the mileage of Pulsar 200/220 as my also inclined to both these bikes!

You dont buy P220, P200 for mileage....
Anyways, rest assured they are better than the competition

Expect both of them to be in the range of 37- 42 kmpl.....!

How easy it is to generalize...!

Just a personal opinion, I usually dont go for a bike thats recently launched....

I mean, I am not a laggard or something, but I chose to let the bike be launched, let the initial feedback go the company and the smaller niggles are launched.... has benefited me so far...

Avenger... Got the one when the Engine Kill switch was plonked in...
RTR, got the one with some small tweaks in the engine...
R15, got the one with the Net cover

I was thinking the same when My bro bought a bike for himself.
Then FZ was launched and everyone was encouraging my bro to buy FZ but he went for Apache RTR 160 refresh,which I think was a nice choice.
Let me see what happens!
