Suffice to say that we have come across another machine which is not really road legal, but it is vital for its company in order to improve their road-going motorcycle.\n\nSee all used TVS Motorcycles listed on OLX for sale and you might find an interesting deal that fits your budget.<\/a>\n\nMeet TVS Motor and their road-racing RTR 160. Complete with a performance oriented engine and the bodywork which serves only one purpose \u2013 aerodynamics \u2013 this particular 160 is TVS\u2019s pocket rocket.\n\n\"TVS\n\nThere are significant differences between the production RTR 160 and the racing version of it. To start with, the engine is a 160cc single cylinder unit, but it is liquid-cooled, produces 32 BHP of power (that is correct) and revs up to 14,000\/14,500 RPM in its top gear (5th). It weighs somewhere around 100 kg to meet the racing regulations of minimum weight (which is 100 kg), although, without fuel, it weighs just 98 kg. Combine that weight with the power figure it produces and you\u2019ve got one hell of a 160cc motorcycle.\n\n\"TVS\n\nAnd did we mention yet that we rode it and how much fun it was to do so? Oh, it was one of our best experiences ever.\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\nTVS RTR 160 \u2013 Road Racing<\/strong>\n\nWe got a rare chance to visit the TVS Motor factory in Chennai and ride their purpose-built racing 160cc sportbike. Honestly, we didn\u2019t expect much from it, perhaps because of our lack of exposure on such motorcycles. But boy, we were in for a pleasant surprise as soon as put it in first gear and rode out.\n\n\"TVS\n\n\"TVS\"TVSThe first reaction \u2013 this thing is fast! It revved freely like no other RTR we have ridden before. In fact, it didn\u2019t nearly feel like any familiar motorcycle we have ridden. The ultra lightweight motorcycle rides on the sticky Bridgestone tyres and with the chassis and suspension tuned specifically for track riding, this little racing motorcycle is quite exceptionally in corners. Of course, the straight line stability is impressive but it is the corners where a track bike has to shine and this one does. \"TVS\"TVS \"TVS \"TVS \"TVS \"TVS \"TVS\"TVS \"TVS\"TVS\n\nAt the beginning, it does feel a bit unsettling because of its low weight, but as soon as you get familiar with it, everything starts to come together nicely. TVS says that the main competition in domestic racing comes from Honda CBR15R and Yamaha YZF-R15, but it is so heartening to learn that TVS has been winning them all for the last 4 years.\n\n\"TVS \"TVS\"TVS \"TVS\"TVS \"TVS \"TVS \"TVS\"TVS \"TVS\"TVS\n\nAnd even if it\u2019s so obvious we would still like to mention that you won\u2019t this or anything like it on OLX. However, the closest you can get to it is by getting a production RTR 160, and that you can definitely find on OLX.\n\n\"TVS\n\nWe wish TVS all the success in their racing department, they need it and deserve it. It is one of the only two companies which is into professional racing, the other is Mahindra. While TVS has released their most powerful RTR till date with a 200cc engine, we hope that they\u2019ll also come out with a madder motorcycle something closer to their racing machine.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
