    The A150,A160 RTR,A160 RTR Fi, dont have any names etched on their Disc brake fluid reservoir/Rotor/Calipers

    On all other bikes, we either have KBX,ETS,etc. etched on the reservoir!

    It s the time taken for acceleration for a certain speed range in a given gear.

    For example,u are in 5th, if the bike can do a minimum of 20 kmph, the time taken for the bike to accelerate from 20 kmph to say 80 kmph is known as the in-gear acceleration time!

    Ah, never mind! What i meant was that the length will naturally increase if the wheel base is increased

    No two ways about it.................!
    and by far......................!
    Absolutley agreed to both the points.... thats why I have always said that the R15 has done a lot of good for us. Suddenly the benchmark is higher... and if we cannot do something new, atleast we should learn and copy them!

    Now thats a nice bit of info, even OD said that new RTR is visibly the same but has a LOT of small subtle changes to improve it!

    may be i'm liking RTR's braking way too much.....

    i only drove FZ and R15 over short distance so was not able to experience it fully...

    but yes if you're sayin thn it is cuz you've driven both the bikes a LOT.....

    As far as using x Brand tyres for racing is concerned, it has no relevance to what I said....
    'says the guy with a MRF C 3.00 x 18 in the rear on the RTR, which is SAME as what TVS uses on the race track

    Well, it realy remains creditable what our Indian brands are coming to/have come to.....

    I would credit it to the so stable deltabox chassis (for r15).... but then that wasnt the point

    On a stock setup, the braking performance on the R15 and the FZ is miles ahead of anyone....

    BTW There are people running with the R15s tyres on the RTRs around....
