    Guys any info. about the launch date??

    Excerpts from Overdrive!!

    Cranking the new 180cc engine, a deep throaty exhaust permeates my senses.Slot into gear, dump the clutch and the 180 shoots up with gusto.

    There's loads of churning power available from as low as 2000rpm for good initial thrust and the surge continues till the top.

    The 180 is eons ahead of the 160 in terms of pure thrill!!

    TVS claims 0-100km/hr timing of 13.95 secs.If the figures are anything to go by, it's actually almost as fast as the R15!!

    my frnd and i sold of his new apache rtr 160 (tank scoops) due to these vibes after just 4 months in which 2.5 mnths were used to rectify the prob which no one could...

    Some points whch were mentioned
    1.Engine is still oversqaure.
    2.The handeling dept. improvement is significant whn compared with the 160
    3.TVS has developed the low and mid range torque , so the top speed has very less improvement
    4.Bike weight is similar (Whch v already know y , same points mentioned)
    5.Newer tubeless tires whch were made are lighter.

    Rest everything v know.

    ps:Is it OK if i can scan the article and post it here??

    Edit: they also mentioned tht the FI version of 180 isnt comming very soon
    What you said is right

    yes they are provided so tht we may not be over revving the engine...but the RTR's engine usable powerband is upto 10500 and after tht it falls so thr's no sense of revving it beyond tht...

    so if we're upshifting at tht or say between 9000-10000RPM....who needs rev limiter bro....

    with the advantage to see the needle eat up whole tacho.......
