    Rear Disc brake
    Special White Color

    Rs.5,000 extra..?? Yeah why not..??
    yes for 5000 bucks more it's justified as these four things are 'lot'....

    but anyone who has known RTR will jump for 180 and wont be buyin 160 FI....
    in my case i would hve gone for 180 if i was to purchase a bike at this time....

    but i'm having PARTY with my FI........

    the RTR 180 should be around 67000-70000...IMO....

    lets see how TVS price this machine....in any case it'll attract loads of buyers as it'll have the same madness of RTR 160 with lil' more grunt........

    but tht'll put FI in trouble for sure......

    But if its (carb RTR 180) above 75,000.. the equation gets altered a little.

    if the pricing is something like what its rumored to be, its a big kick in the a$$ for rtr fi owners. like me

    I always liked the RTR 160 for its handling.. with the extra grunt (17Ps which is equal to that of ZMA), and weighing just 137kgs.. the RTR 180 has become quite an attractive option to have.

    I understand that in these recessionary times, expecting a total makeover or a completely new model is difficult. Just hoping that TVS doesn't mess up with its pricing.

    it will be 173.3 cc bike then with 10.3:1 comp ratio. almost equal to R15. Only thing would be we would have to use Power or Speed petrol then for carb. version.
    Too much technical jargons .. I can't understand any bit of these . Just tell us which one is better ?

Which means 180 wheelbase is 1330mm Or 1340mm.. But 1320mm? If it is 1320mm they can share the swingarm b/w flame and RTR..

    They might have measured wheel axle distance from pivot , which may vary with chain slackness setting.

The wheelbase is 1320mm an increase of 20mm.Weight will be 137kgs which is just 1kg more than 160cc RTR. Boy o boy will it be a scorcher or what.

    Just waiting to get my hands on that white RTR.

    this is really tricky for TVS , price it below 160 FI , and that will kill it.
    and if its priced abv 160 FI , VFM comes down.
    Lets see what TVS does.
    I think it should be priced a bit below 160 FI. It won't kill the 160 FI because people who want latest technology in their bikes and those who want better mileage will still go for it Pricing it above 160 FI is absolutely unjustifiable IMO.
