    Sorry for the confusion.

    17.3 PS = how many bhp? and can somebody post the exact PS or BHP figs quoted by bajaj for their P180 and P200?

    Edit: Oh, in case the mods are wondering whether i am trying to start a brand war - puh leez!

    not only the power slide - but the most important similarity is the Philip Island Track.

    and yes, i love the Honda ad but I also love the TVS ad - simply sexy! So now we know why the TVS bikes were present at Philip Island.

    *One more thing- Just spoke to my 'source' - if the video was shot long time back - two months or more, then the bikes are disguised RTRs not RTR 180s. IIRC Somebody was at Philip Island when the TVS chaps were there, any idea about the exact date so that we could confirm this??

    PS: OT- The earlier RTR 160 eFi ad was heavily inspired by the KTM RC8 video. So yeah, TVS is picking up the right inspirations unlike certain other 'Transformers' ad

    But white does look good on that race track and the way the ad is shot. you cant really say how will it look on Indian roads.

    One morething it will be a great commuter bike not a racing bike. There is one and only one ninja 250. If its launched thats the only racing bike in lower cc (given the fact yamaha will never launch R125).

    I am waiting for ninja nothing else can satisfy me.
    After reading all the replies I am more than happy to take my words back.

    Atleast my wrong comments lead to some good comments.

    Thanks everyone for correcting me.

    Awesome ad for the RTR 180. Im sure the bike will be as exciting as the ad promises.
    The 160 didn't disappoint and im confident that the 180 will surpass its siblings yardstick performance in the 150cc class, albeit in a different segment of the market

    So when can we expect test rides in Bangalore ?

    Well TVS is known to test their equipment extensively on tracks & other places before launching, probably the reason why they took so long just to lauch a proper 150-160 cc bike on their own(almost).

    The 180 too is coming after a good 7 years after the first 180cc bike was launched on Indian roads. So I dont think the ABS will come in just yet.
