So this discussion ends at the conclusion that Apache rtr 180 does not deserve 75k bucks...one should not buy spend this big amount on a bike like this...?

Not really. There are people here on this forum itself who're perfectly comfortable with the vibes and tappet noise and inadequate servicing. So it comes down to each individual. If you look at the alternatives, TVS's bikes do give you the best bang for the buck. Even taking bajaj into consideration imo. Only thing is do you really want a bang or a loud pop.Originally posted by sri.vaibhav View PostSo this discussion ends at the conclusion that Apache rtr 180 does not deserve 75k bucks...one should not buy spend this big amount on a bike like this...?Comment

how can you give your conclusion that it dose not deserve 75k a heavy amount , have you ever steped into a race with rtr 180 do that when you will beat one you will get to know why tvs charge more than bajaj 180,Originally posted by sri.vaibhav View PostSo this discussion ends at the conclusion that Apache rtr 180 does not deserve 75k bucks...one should not buy spend this big amount on a bike like this...?
when using it as commuter it will glide on rode on race track it will become a indian super bike , when you regular ride it you will get familier with its vibs
it dose not affect its performance , this bull deserves a lot more than that
happy riding.................................................Comment

If you go by prices then please get yourself Kyoto Bike
Vibes will go (not totally) after you tighten some of the screws and change the engine oil to semi-synthetic/synthetic oil

Don't wanna compare but since you mentioned it, pound for pound, the r15 is more vfm at 1 lakh than the rtr at 75k. You get a deltabox frame, LC, 6-speed, silicon-alum cylinder, forged pistons, monoshock etc. I don't want to sound like i'm pushing yamaha but these are facts. And i'll bet it doesn't vibrate or ring the tappets !

what vfm when you get same power and almost same topspeed from a 75 k bike with more miliageOriginally posted by julianpaul View PostDon't wanna compare but since you mentioned it, pound for pound, the r15 is more vfm at 1 lakh than the rtr at 75k.

without delta box frame rtr 180 handels very well ,lc increase maintaince expence for coolent rtr has engine and tank scoops for faster aircool ,6speed increase tension to change frequnt gears 5speed manage to touch 130 ,silicon-alum cylinder dont know about that but rtr over square made from solid alloy is "reliable" for longer life, forged piston rtr has idi which spark plug make a longer spark for better fuel burn i am sure rtrs piston goes mad up and down,monoshock tvs has dual migs i know indias mig always crashes bcos ussr dont make quality products but tvs dose .Last edited by abhishekch; 05-16-2010, 06:47 PM..................................................Comment

You change the oil to the worlds best semi/ fully synth oil, tighten the nuts with the max torque setting available and still RTR wont let your pillion rest his foot specially "her's" on the rear pegs.Originally posted by haxor View Post

I may be little OT here, i'am a hardcore fan of RTR and i just love the bike, but it has flaws.Originally posted by abhishekch View Post
Power and top speed are not evrything my friend, just ride the machine (R15) and you can feel why YAMAHA charged so much for a 150 CC machine, it may not give you the RUSH or the GRUNT or the Adreline pump like the RTR but the moment you'll take it to track, all you'll get is smiles.
That bike has feel, superb engine/chasis geometry and specially the thin i like- it lets your pillion keep his feet on the pegs even at 10000RPM while taking a corner, not like RTR where i can't take a delicious lean with a pillion cuz he'll simply pull his feet off the pegs making the whole bike shake while doing so.
Ok lets not get into comparo's, we love our baby, and we love it with all those shaky vibes.

Originally posted by haxor View PostAbsolutely right Renny. In fact the only thing that will probably work is changing the gearing, but that too will just shift the vibes into a different rev range.

Originally posted by abhishekch View PostI'm sorry i started this OT, but looks like we got a gen-you-wine fanboy here! Some awesome points raised here. Real laugh riot. MIGs ! lol btw, the ruskies had an investigation and rightly so cause their name was being spoiled, MIGs have had a long history. And their conclusion was that the MIG crashes were due to the IAF using duplicate and substandard parts! only Indians would do jugaad in a friggin fighter !Originally posted by abhishekch View PostLast edited by julianpaul; 05-16-2010, 07:50 PM.Comment
