    I would definitely like to, but not mandatory. First priority is the bike should move fast... then everything else comes into picture.

    Do the TVS people have a NVH department ? So many people complain about it and after so many delays in the launch they again launch a unrefined engine . I don't think the bike has DC electricals too. What a waste. I dont think this bike is worth more than 3 to 4k over the RTR160.
    It is the same mill Rags, but AFAIK from people inside TVS the mill has been extensively worked on. They eliminated vibes, over-heating issues etc as much as possible. The vibes, last I heard have significantly reduced too. Anyways I cannot comment anything without a ride. And yes, DC electricals is a let down.

    ^^ heh heh heh !!!
    But good that at least TVS will provide the full block rear fender too. The CBR style rear fender on the RTR will be a nuisense on Indian roads in monsoon. These will spray a real bad mixture of water and dirt on the vehicles below and to oneself too .

    Looks like TVS' styling department has been paying close attention to the work of Honda's Japanese Design team.

    it made the engine according to that only...

    and if TVS gonna make the changes into the engine to give LC to it.....
    it'll cost a LOT.......
