    Are they allowed to do that? I mean upload the video even before there is any word from TVS?

    It is no where on the TV, so obviously it is the TVS marketing guys who have posted it.

    My beers calling me..I am sad for Massa Raikonnen & poor old Sutil today..hope they improve on next race..Everyone have a great sunday
    Yes even I wud have loved a change to the end cans like the ones we saw in the previous autoexpo grey tuned RTR or the ARE events bikes.Headlight of RTR180 is different and does not needs change,but LED lamps factory fitted option wud be appreciated.

    For F1 even I feel sorry for Ferrari, I hope they use diffuser and KERS effectively in their cars
    so that they can come back in the next race.Ferrari has been going through a lot of mechaincal problems this year.

    @everyone at war..........in this thread,we have to accept the fact that RTR180 is a really good bike,it handles very well with added power.Only people with biased opinions would raise their voice against truth.It should not be personal.Lets accept changes and be at peace.

An increase of just 20 cc with not other much difference will not pull me away from my first generation P-180 which rides beautifully for all its age. I would rather go for a new P- 220 cc when it gets launched. But I have to admit that I waited a lot to see what TVS can do with their bike.
    Last line for everyone who says RTR 160 beats P 180. I have never been a witness to that and I doubt I will ever be. None of the RTR's have till date gone past me when what I drive is just a 1st generation 180 producing only 15 Punies.
    i would love to comment on it..but i dont want to be flamed for starting another war..lets stick to the RTR & not bring anything else & start a fight..

    OT:I am thinking of creating a thread called "FIGHT CLUB" where all fights will take place...

    @ above...


    eh there we go again.cant we just stop comparing the 2 bikes. the bike is not yet out on the road. why cant we talk about the only thing that is out.. i.e the ad or else lets wait till its launched and tested rather than bringing down the quality of this thread.

    You know I have the same bore * stroke config of the RTR 180. Also the final drive ratio is 3.14 (44/14) as compared to stock 3.385 (44/13). and the current crankshaft has run close to 80K kms. Inspite of this I have taken it 11K rpm without trouble. Will be swtiching back to 44/13 config for a few days to check the stock set up. I'm getting a consistent mileage of 40-42 kmpl in city with loads of gear changes. I'm eagerly waiting to see if the RTR 180 has got better camshaft and TCI so that I can plonk that to get the engine rev better.

    Use brains and do maths , tvs use 180 cc apache for racing since ages.

    Plus there are converted 180 cc n 200 cc apache's running on the road from ages..

    Its just that ppl dont know about them.


    Santa
    As you said not many people are aware. You, Joel, Bprags and few others know that I have this RTR 180 set up running from Dec 2007, thats a good 16 months.

    The bike has got the stroke of Apache 150, bore of RTR, head assembly of RTR, 29mm BS Mukuni Carb (a rip off from P180), O ring chain.

    OT: Anyways, even I have my pop corn ready to keep myself busy.
