I always liked the RTR 160 for its handling.. with the extra grunt (17Ps which is equal to that of ZMA), and weighing just 137kgs.. the RTR 180 has become quite an attractive option to have.
I understand that in these recessionary times, expecting a total makeover or a completely new model is difficult. Just hoping that TVS doesn't mess up with its pricing.Comment

if the pricing is something like what its rumored to be, its a big kick in the a$$ for rtr fi owners. like me

the FI retails for about 75000....
the RTR 180 should be around 67000-70000...IMO....
lets see how TVS price this machine....in any case it'll attract loads of buyers as it'll have the same madness of RTR 160 with lil' more grunt........
but tht'll put FI in trouble for sure......The Magician"

An increment of Rs. 5,000 (about 70,000) over the carb RTR 160 seems to be the sweet spot for me..
17 Ps
Wider 110 section, Tubeless Tyres
Rear Disc brake
Special White Color
Rs.5,000 extra..?? Yeah why not..??

But if its (carb RTR 180) above 75,000.. the equation gets altered a little.

in that case, will TVS have a "bring ur FI, take home the 180" scheme?

The carb set up also makes it easy to fiddle around with performance enhancement mods too.Comment

The one i explained is assumed to give more power output and better performance but regular unleaded will result in knocking and powerloss.Originally posted by chauhan_saurabh View PostToo much technical jargons ..

I was also swinging between RTR Refresh(RD) with somewhat noisy engine and and FI with lots of new listed problems/issues(heating, power loss, ... ) on ownership thread. Now, 180 seems to be the bike for guys like as it is supposed to have smoother engine and more stable handling.Originally posted by rennycornelius View Postyes for 5000 bucks more it's justified as these four things are 'lot'....

the FI gives more smoothness,crisper throttle responce,instant RPM surge.....Originally posted by chauhan_saurabh View Post
and on handlin department yes the rear 110 will be helping but lets see how those lil' mm's in swingarm will help already superb handling shine more....
