Just waiting to get my hands on that white RTR.

Nice Info. but any info on pricing ????
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.

Pictures of TVS apache RTR 180
Within a fortnight from now, TVS will launch the much expected apache RTR 180 (known as RTR menace). The new apache RTR 180 is powered by a 177.3cc engine. It is not fuel injected but a bored and stroked avatar of popular 160cc mill. TVS engineers have given a lighter crank, lighter magneto and a bigger carburettor for quicker engine response. We expect the 180cc motor to offer better low- and mid-range torque. TVS claims the new apache RTR 180 to reach 60kmph from standstill in 4.15 seconds and top speed as 125kph. TVS apache RTR 180 produces 17.3PS which is slightly higher than the new upgraded Bajaj pulsar 180. TVS has also worked on mechanicals to improve the dynamics of the race-bred RTR. The wheelbase is increased by 30mm for the improved stability. The brakes are carried forward from apache RTR FI - 270mm petal disc at the front and 200mm disc at the rear. Apart from the change the heart and mechanical changes, there is very little to distinguish between the RTR 160 and RTR 180. The new apache RTR 180 gets larger sized RTR decals on tank scoops and removable rear mudguard. It also gets a new white back tachometer. TVS new apache RTR 180 would hit the road in next 15 days we expect the new apache rtr 180 to be priced around Rs70,000

well,the bike is phenomenal and i am eagerly waiting for it.Look at that tailpiece..awesome man!!..it'll surley make you stand out of the crowd..

but hey,did you see the performance figures??..TVS claimed that 0-60 will come out in just 4.15 sec.......4.15 sec!!!!!!!..thats faster than any other bike in the country..and the top whack is near to 125kmph!!!
Though it's being claimed by company and changes are possible when it'll be tested by journos but still they are mind-boggling...a big threat to pulsar family and other big boys in the business..

hmm.. the RTR 180 is definitely appealing. Am assuming the handling will only be better than the RTR 160... Now all that is required is a price tag of Rs. 4-5K over the RTR 160 and it will be just perfect.

the white looks teh SEX . I wish there was a half fairing but it still looks amazing..now lets see it in red like my RTR . Payeng, you think any of the parts will be interchangeable with the earlier RTR's (carb 160's) ??

R15 has a 100/80 -17 rear. Will it fit?
