    • ^^Digi, Mach : You guys better clean up your act right now. This thread has already witnessed an infraction, lotsa clean-ups. Synn, rossi and Aryan da would be pretty much fed up of warnings by now.
      Id recommend arguing over better 0-60 figures, Higher PS ratings at crank etc over PMs or in person.

      Please delete the respective posts and get on with it guys !

      Cheers !

        Ok let's Get Back To Topic,About Colours
        I Assume That Two Colours Would/Might Come

        1:This White Colour Which Seen On Ad
        2:Green(Not A Ninja Colour)
        3:Yellow
        4:Red

        • bore of rtr 160
          62 mm
          stroke of apache 150
          57.8mm

          rtr 180= 175 cc
          62mm*57.8

          Still an overqsuare engine , less oversquare than the 160.

          It can still rev till 12k safely if needed ,
          but since it is a longer stroke , 10k is good enough
          it ll be torquier than the 160 .
          Its gonna have better 0-60 figures than the r15 for sure..

          After 60.. we ll check it out..

          17.3 ps and 176c with 135 + kgs is a good power to weight ratio and has good advantage of the p200 which is way heavier.

          Let the bike arrive.

          • I will take the higher road and not reply to OT posts anymore.
            One of the youtube links mentioned the bike makes 16.5 Nm Torque. Is that true? I didnt see it mentioned anywhere in the ad..

                You know why? i'll tell you why.

                1) This thread is standing proof that indian bikers (Or atleast quite a few of them) are not yet ready to understand that different bikes belong in different segments even though they may be close to each other in therms of cubic capacity.

                2) Because we're not here at anyone's beck and call and have other duties to perform. It's quite easy to post nonsense and then sit back saying "Hey, if my post doesn't conform, let a mod clean it up"! Newsflash: That's not what moderation is about. We're here to make sure YOU guys let your thoughts flow IN MODERATION and don't be surprised if infractions and bans are handed out without prior warning. Enough warnings have already been given and everyone here's of atleast average intelligence.

                    For that I think a wait for the next batches of RTR (200, 220 or whatever it may be) would be appropriate!

                      Seriously, this is like the worst phase of trolling that i have seen on xBHP...
                      we have been blessed with low tech bikes in the world... each player here is trying to carve a niche for themselves but selling us what they do best...

                      The RTR is a mean ass machine... period
                      The R15 is a mean ass handler... Period
                      The Unicorn is a super refined machine... period
                      The ZMA is still a brilliant machine in this age!
                      The pulsars are what bought "performance biking" to masses...

                          • I don't know why are people comparing this bike with R15 , the RTR 160 was just fractionally slower than the R15 and with almost 2 PS more power(and same weight as before) RTR 180 should be faster than R15 for sure.

                              Lots of pple have been thr and done that and have been spanked by the Mods. So pls dont go there. Please discuss RTR 180 in isolation !!

                              • U dont need source for that..
                                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.

                                ok ,here how it goes
                                Y do bajaj go on increasing 10 10 or 20 cc ?and all look the same.
                                use same parts as much as possible and cost cutting.
                                with what bajaj did and gained success , tvs is doing the same.

                                using already existing parts with mix and match , u have a new bike.

                                Y doesnt the rtr 180 look different ?

                                when u have an already sucessfully selling and tested bike named 160 which ppl have accepted it ,y will they waste millions on new designs and dyes and machines?

                                rtr 160 got a big bore and a smaller stroke than a150.
                                now if they kept the 180 with the same stroke as 160 (52.9mm) and bigger bore , it ll be a crazy over square engine , bore stroke ratio of moto gp level.
                                No 1 uses so much bore stroke ratio generally , and u ll end up with a super high revving engine.

                                So the other option is a new longer stroke and apache 150 57mm piston.

                                why will they waste money and design a new stroke ?? plus if they do so , it ll become more torquey like the zma , and not rev happy.

                                they already have a 160 piston and a 150 crank.

                                combine both , make a 180 , public happy ,
                                total cost of a new bike ==peanuts.
                                ooly new things ll be a high lift cam , and new valves , bigger by say 1.5 mm from 160.
                                and a bs29(p180 carb).
                                Thats it .

                                Anything more ?

                                Santa
