    Will the menace have FI, anybody know? I doubt coz TVS was not able to source enuf FI units for apache i think....or are they saving it for menace
    Anyway, coming back to topic why doesn't TVS go public with their plans for Apache FI and tell prospective customers wht to do and how long to wait, instead of keeping them in dark

          This bike is an absolute hooligan, revs up like a two-stroke, can happily sing at 8k all day long no qualms whatsoever, is a dream to corner, but as there is always a flipside this bike is an absolute pain to drive in slow moving traffic, has no pull in higher gears at the low-end of the power band, unless it is properly revved is fails to respond with any conviction

            I got two words if TVS is using that as the reason: BULL-$HIT!

                P200 as a drum brake and RTR Fi has a disk brake how can one expect the disk to be so strong as drum brake..

                        All premium segment performance-oriented bikes have a bit of a underpowered rear brakes, so that in cases of emergency the rider doesnt fishtail out of control by slamming his rear brakes, and i can say that the rear discs on the RTR Fi serves it more than well enough, as GSferrari had posted in the thread earlier about braking here, the emphasis should be 70%-80% on the front with the remaining 30%-20% only for the back, in that sense the RTR has the best set of brakes in it's segment right now

                          The first RTR Fi landed in Raipur today and its still not for sale and maybe it will launch in Diwali.
                          Never upgrade without getting your basics RIGHT.

                            It's also pretty hard to get your hands on an RTR Fi here, not many dealers are having it, and it according to the dealers located in Adyar the production itself is very limited in number, though there is no way to verify this for a fact
