    If you maintain your bike which is relatively cheap then it would give around 46 to 54 provided you limit yourself to the mentioned limit .
    The thing is it would never reach below 40 even when you extremely abuse and nail her .

            Here is the latest update. My heart is stuck with 180 ABS as well. So....


            I did a TD of apache 180 ABS (~2 yr old from olx). I now understand what people mean by vibrations!!!!.

            I can probably live with that. Bike is in excellent condition.

            the quoted price is 70,000/-. Mileage is 8500. Do you think it is worth it.

            I will close the deal once i get some clarity from you guys.

                  2013 and two problems I saw1. Rust here and there on the silencor/muffler2. I am assuming handle bar left side is closer than the right side. No evidence of accident/ fall as there r no scratch he's on the leg guard or on the handle bar weights / side indicators

                    There may be some problem. Just go with a mechanic and see. Just a one year old bike with rust and minor.complaints?? And just few km mileage???

                        60K is what is a fair price, if the bike is in exceptionally good condition you can go upto 63 or so. Recently saw a 2012 (september) RTR 180 with ABS for 55k in Hyderabad. So you can base your final rate on that. Almost same as the one shown in the below link.

                          Well I kind of lost the deal. It did not work out. I am back in search again.

                          I have decided to purchase a new bike only. Want to take a TD of gixxer see how it feels like. Thanks for your input.

                            My advice is to purchase a new bike when you want to use it for a long time.
                            Test ride the suzuki gixxer .

                                Hi friends,

                                After finally a lot of soul searching I decided to purchase a limited edition (battle green) fazer. It has been more than a week and i am enjoying every bit of my bike. Frankly speaking cornering is now a new term for me. I never enjoyed driving zip zap in traffic. For all those bajaj fans (i was until i rode this beast) yamaha fazer is truly an inspirational machine.

                                you should all try once, it is really a bliss to drive this one.


                                regards,
                                srinivas


                                I have one question about the run in period. owner's manual says 0-500 km (limit to 4500 rpm), 500-1000 km (limmit to 6000 rpm). Sales guy says until 1000 km ride limit to 4500 rpm.

                                which one should i follow.

                                any suggestions experienced guys.
