                    • In Bike India It says
                      For those who were expecting something more hardcore than whats been described here , we must mention that the new RTR doesnt have a rev limiter.
                      so it means tht thrs a rev limiter in the 160.
                      maybe BI got it wrong

                            nope , Nothing more whch v dont know.
                            well thr is one thing , the footpegs come in to varients , naked metal for racers and normal rubber ones. except this everything else is already covered in this thread.
                            Some points whch were mentioned
                            1.Engine is still oversqaure.
                            2.The handeling dept. improvement is significant whn compared with the 160
                            3.TVS has developed the low and mid range torque , so the top speed has very less improvement
                            4.Bike weight is similar (Whch v already know y , same points mentioned)
                            5.Newer tubeless tires whch were made are lighter.

                            Rest everything v know.

                            ps:Is it OK if i can scan the article and post it here??

                            Edit: they also mentioned tht the FI version of 180 isnt comming very soon

                                Isn't the rev limiter there to protect and may be increase the life of engines? So having no rev limiter is something to be happy about
