    TVS Apache 180 - Big Brother











    here are the pics












    The TVS Apache 180 adorns a new graphic scheme to distinguish itself from its smaller siblings, with RTR emblazoned boldly on the tank scoops.
    The front forks and the gas reservoirs for the rear shocks are now painted in a new golden shade and the clip-ons have a new RTR 180 emblem at the centre.
    Naked pegs for racers, rubber covered ones for commuters

    anti skid for sooty ?
    looks like tvs wants the RTR owners to fall and break bones and the girls to remain safe .. unacceptable !!

    May be the manufacturers gain the insider-information much earlier and so is the delay.But if this thing goes on then it will take an eternity till a 'proper' bike gets launched!!

    I really wonder what's taking TVS so long to launch a simple upgrade of a bike.It doesnt have any exotic item to test for long term reliability!!

    Probably TVS is mulling over how to price the RTR 180.. The FZ with half-fairing probably will also be launched soon.. also Mr. Rajeev Bajaj recently made a comment on Bajaj soon launching the fastest motorycycle made in India. which should mean the 2009 P200/220 ones.

    maybe its a wait and see on how the competitors price their new products.

    Excerpts from Overdrive!!

    Cranking the new 180cc engine, a deep throaty exhaust permeates my senses.Slot into gear, dump the clutch and the 180 shoots up with gusto.

    There's loads of churning power available from as low as 2000rpm for good initial thrust and the surge continues till the top.

    The 180 is eons ahead of the 160 in terms of pure thrill!!

    TVS claims 0-100km/hr timing of 13.95 secs.If the figures are anything to go by, it's actually almost as fast as the R15!!
    Atleast the bike will be more driveable in city 160 has power above 3k rpm

    Me: Released? Do you have prices and specs?
    Lady1: Wait a min .. redirected to a gentleman
    Gentleman: Yes sir?
    Me: I just came to know that RTR 180 has been released, so do you have some specification sheet or price for that?
    Gentleman: gave phone to a lady
    Lady2: Yes sir, it is released and it came to showroom(at this point I was really excited) but went back. And we are getting it soon.
    Me: Good. What's the price? Do you have any specs sheet?
    Lady2: No sir, soon it will come back to show room for showcasing and test rides.
    Me: Any idea of price? And when did it come to the show room?
    Lady2: Price: no idea, guess: at least 70k. Day before yesterday.

    Then she took my number for future contacts and told me that she would call me as soon as they get one in their showroom.
    Cool man... which showroom? I'll definitely go and enjoy test rides in all TVS showrooms I can find
