        So to make you happy, I touched 135 on speedo which was 128 on GPS.

        Anything else you want to know apart from top speed of the owners they achieved?

                Hey Prateek! Just the person I wanted some advice from !

                I have done 11k on my RTR ABS. There were huge problems with my ABS and even now the back brake seems to lack bite. Could be because of the Tires of course.
                I am planning on going for REVZ radial 120 for the rear and R15 V2's front tire. good choice? any other suggestions for the front?

                  At 11k the tyres are still new. Get the pads checked, check the brake oil and lastly get the abs sensor checked. Generally its something very minute that causes these, and we tend to miss it. Sometimes even a good pressure wash does magic.

                    The lack of bite might be due to old brake oil(replace and bleed the system) and old and hardened pads. The tyres also play a role in brake bite. At 11k km your rear tyre is near its half life (considering the life to be around 20k km and 2 years approx).

                    I've used MRF REVZ 120/80 for 20k km and slightly more than two years. The tyre is on the harder side. The grip in dry is okish, wet grip is good,compared to tvs tyres. The tyre would give up while braking hard. Though I did not get a single puncture the tyre developed huge cracks, 8 to be precise and were approx 2inches long, starting from the side wall till the treads. They seemed to be deep but the tyre did not leak out drastically. After two years, the tyre started feeling harder and grip was fading away. It even developed hairline cracks on the treads.

                        Didn't the REVZ get released just last year? It is the Radial version right? I am talking about the radial Revz 120/80.

                        And yes, maybe its a good time to replace the brake oil and have the system bled.
                        Even at 11k km, I can feel the back tyre slipping at curves, I am not a leaner nor do I push my bike to the limits. Also, normal braking activates the ABS at the rear, hence the thought to change it.

                        Yes, I should, this current service center guys dont seem to be doing it well, will take it to a different place soon.

                          Can any one advice about the revz 120 section on abs version because in the manual it is mentioned to strictly stick to the stock size & also will the revz fit in the swingarm gap?

                            Drained 5100 10w30 at 3.5k kms, according to my mechanic there was probably 750kms life left in it. Currently using shell advance ax7 10w40 (due to the approaching summer) but honestly can't feel any difference with the 5100, may be life will be less than motul one. I would like to advise you to use eni(previously agip) fs which comes in same price as the 5100 10w30 ss as told by my local distributor in howrah, wb & it will come around 550rs.

                              I have one more important point to ask,, how about RTR 160 ,,is it same case for tyres ??? also what difference does it make with single disc and double disc rear in 160 ???
                              Yes, RTR 160 and 180 are literally identical. They have the same remora tires. My 180 is 5800km old. In my experience, they are not that bad if you are a sane rider and the weather is dry. They tend to give away under panic braking however. They are not that bad however.

                              Regarding your second question, my cousin has a 160 which has a drum brake at the rear and I have a 180. I have ridden both extensively. The brakes on both are pretty good actually. The drum brake also does a decent job. But, if you have extra money to spend, do opt for rear disc.

                              Choosing between 160 and 180 is your preference though. Since you said that you ride between 30 to 60 kmph, 160 will also suit your requirement. If you want better mileage, go for 160. If you are looking for good pickup and that extra power, 180 it is.

                                I was able to source the Revz in first half of 2013. I guess it was not a radial tyre. Its the same as the FZ16 v1.0 tyre in 120/80.
                                I'm not sure as to why MRF released a radial tyre with the same name. The tread pattern appears to be the same as the old one. Actually the new radial tyre is from the "NV series".

                                Please search the thread. The 120 section tyres have been discussed in great depth.
