      • This is no news. This is an article from Bike India May/ June Issue.

        This should be moved to RTR Ownership thread or some place similar, but not here.

                  Ok, now we can discuss this.

                  We found the new Srichakra tyres fabulously sticky on the grippy surface of TVS’ test facility. However, as I tried to lift the rear wheel of the new bike, the front tyre tended to skid a bit. True, with a longer wheelbase, the new bike should be a tad more difficult to lift up from the rear but it shouldn’t ideally have taken as much effort as it did. Not that the new RTR refuses to get its rear wheel airborne, but more grip at the front tyre would have facilitated that more easily.
                  This is what happens when disk brakes are strong, but tyres are smaller. Of course, feel from the brakes is strong on slightest press, but...

                  Whenever Bajaj upgrades their front brakes, (say P200 & 220) they upgrade the tyres too. So, that braking improves overall...

                  Rev the bike hard in neutral or in the first gear and the tacho needle keeps swinging to the 12,000rpm limit on the tacho. That’s good news as the absence of a limiter hints at introduction of performance kits for the bike by the company in the near future. Hooligans rejoice!
                  This is just a "fictitious assumption" of Bike India's Staff.

                  and Wheelbase could have been fine at 1320mm... I wonder why they raised it to 1340, whereas top speed doesn't seem increased.

                    Don't Be silly Tvs won't launch an rtr 180 efi now. You should have remembered that tvs launches for RTR
                    1: Apache 150 On June 2006(correct me if i am wrong)
                    2: Apache RTR 160 Carb On June 2007
                    3: Apache RTR 160 Refresh carb By Jan 2008
                    4: Apache RTR 160 Fi On July 2008
                    5: Now They would surely Launch Carb RTR 180

                    @ Mods: Some one told that RTR 180 Gonna launch by june 15th,We all wait for the day if the bike is not launching by this month end LOCK the Thread

                    Yesterday is history.
                    Tomorrow is a mystery.

                      If u look at the Video, it clearly states that the RTR 180 is Fuel Injected.

                        There Is No Decals Of FI Found On The RTR 180 Sticker Behind The Tail Part
                        PS: They Might Have Also Tested The Fi Version Also
