2009 Speculation thread: What bikes could be launched?

[sukant08]

Dude!! get a better and safer helmet. when you have a good bike you should have a good helmet to go with not the cheap ones which you get for less than 500 rupees.

Thanks for the concern man. Its not exactly an unsafe helmet. Its BM made in Thailand ! Conforms to most safety norms. I use it mostly for pottering around town.
Its this one http://www.bmhelmet.com/view.php?photoname=101.jpg
Also got an AGV which I use at long rides.

It looked like the same one which my friend got from some roadside vendor, I really don't think leather will be that safe. I am telling from my own experience of having a good helmet let it be on tour or inside city. You never know what comes across when you are doing 60kph in the city itself.. there are lot of nutcases here who think their scooter has super acceleration and there's the problem of dogs/cows/monkeys etc...

Apache 180 Teaser

The Apache 180 Teaser ad was released... Find it on you tube. The bike is a white bike. Looks exactly the same in the ad though.

RTR 180 looks to be a serious track-day bike...

It was earlier said that it would be on the lines of the 160. I expected atleast a semi-fairing-maybe that is reserved for the 200!. No probs, as long as it performs well enough. Looking forward to see the fatter rubber at the rear.

Yep..my younger brother was waiting for the new P200, i told him to wait for RTR-180, so it better be good

I suppose he is below 6 feet? If not,pray to god that they do a RTR 180-Comfort.
Since the boffins at TVS haven't realized that some of us are blessed with good height and among them some are bikers too.
I tried the RTR 160(carb) for a ride to my college recently and although the performance is top notch but the comfort level is just appalling. I have broken shoulders and sore buttcheeks now. Writing this while I am sitting on a pillow on my seat.

P.S.: The Gladiator has spoiled me.

Reminds me of "Dil Chahta Hai" .
I too tried the RTR160C and had the same feedback (the main reason i didnt buy it).
But my cousin is hell-bent on FZ-S or P200FI (i personally dont like FZ toybike and FI's launch expectancy is 2020) hence RTR-180 . Lets See.

As regards Bajaj's statement of launching a new variant every month,I think they have completed the quota for April with the new P180.(Not to mention the P150 is here too).
May it is then.
