    Yeah I still remember me drooling for the RTR on rearsets blog.... and before the RTR i really cared a damn about TVS as a company!

    But dont know what happened, it was like love at first sight(or first test ride)

        Then better don't do that and keep riding in one single gear!!! Dude, how else do u think people ride vehicles on roads? From a Splendor to an 18-wheeler that's what needs to be done to ride/drive the vehicle in city traffic. Don't worry, the vehicle will not blow up on ur face if u use clutch and change gears frequently!!!

          • ^^Its nothing to get irritated about as long as u know how to ride the respective vehicle in a specific scenario(city/highway or whatever).

            O.T: Why shud I get irritated having bought a vehicle that costs 1 lakh+?

                Well, this depends on the wheelbase. I suppose a wheelbase of 1320mm might be just fine for RTR 180. Upto 1320mm, the city abilities are not MUCH compromised. Just my opinions.

                TVS will take care of this, I'm sure. Anyways, RTR 160 is now at 1300mm. We don't expect it to go straight up to 1350mm, right?

                    Ya .. It may have same wheelbase like flame(1320mm). Now Flame has got most lengthiest swigarm among TVS bikes..

                      Pardon me for my ignorance but whats the point here... how/why are you relating the wheelbase to 'city' riding conditions?

                        Flickability. Remember smaller wheelbase easier to change direction and vice versa
                        Never upgrade without getting your basics RIGHT.

                            Little lesser than the RTR160 if the wheelbase is little more.
