    If the abs variant is indeed out then it's good news for apache fans who are conscious of the advantage of abs.
    No..I am referring to the adverts of ABS at dealership's. Sales guy saying current version on sale already having ABS
    But there's no ring sensor and the same can be seen on apache 180 abs. So whether really the current version is having ABS or not[emoji16]

      The ABS ring on RTR comes concealed with a cover and can only be seen from opposite direction.. try seeing RTR 180 ABS disc assembly.

      That said, ABS version is still not out in showroom yet.

            To any 6 feet tall rider here is a reference point, I am 6 and I think it is quite in proportion.
            Also here in kolkata the base variant is priced at 1.15 Lacs!

                I did ask about ABS, and they said that they do not have any information when ABS/FI will be launched, safe to say a month or two I guess.

                    Today done a test ride of rtr200 with pillion for approx 8kms after warming up engine. Being a zma rider my observations-
                    1. Comfort at par with zma.
                    2. Engine stalling in every gear when closing throttle fully.
                    3. Punch feel is less than zma upto 3rd gear.
                    4. Brakes are soft.
                    5. Engine sound is bassy.
                    6. Awesome speedometer console.
                    7. Lot of fibre parts, chain guard is also fibre.
                    8. No vibes at all.

                    overall good product from tvs, dealer said fi/abs version will be available during diwali this year at Lucknow.

                      Except in handling dept, RTR200 may not be considered as an upgrade compared to ZMA.

                      Engine stalling is surprising given its low end grunt.

                          Sorry brother being a 180 owner I must say zma initial punch is tad more intoxicating than the rtr albeit it losses, by the time it crosses 60:sly:
                          Stalling might be a specific issue with the bike itself as per my test ride experience

                                Can anybody confirm me , how to check the difference between Non-ABS and ABS bike. Is there any additional machine for ABS bike. Because i am going to book RTR carb with Remora tyres and ABS. so wanted to know the difference. So i can check it myself when taking delivery.
