man the primary specification of rtr is not cc,,, not power
but VIBRATIONS
i think they would be there in the upper rpm range
one xbhpian test rode it and told vibrations is worse than his 160
but lets hope for the bestHope is a good thing ,
may be the best of things and

Ok guys.A lot of people are not gonna expect this but I did a full run on 2 different 180s
.Mines done 200 KMs so far.Not yet registered =P[Felony Felony]
Top Speeds 131.Cud push it a little more.ran out of space =P
[Top speed run was done on a black test drive apache :P]
Throttle response is pretty sweet.
Gearbox isnt the best,but it'll do.I'm sure most owners of the FI know how fragile the gearbox actually is.
Tyres aren't the best again.It sucks in rainy conditions.Just drove in the rain today. @___@.
Handlings top notch. Pickup is amazing.Cold start problems are amazing too :P
Brakings pretty good again =]
Friggin love the bike =D
Can somebody elaborate on the vibe part,cause on the one I test drove , I couldn't feel much vibes...only prob it had at high revs was some sort of stability thing..I wouldn't really let that pass as vibrations ...Last edited by ~Sathya~; 06-21-2009, 12:26 AM.Comment

thanks for informing bro
let them pounce
i would prefer what an rtr 160 guy says then what a person running a refined engine says
he certainly wont be able to compare vibs of 160 and 180Hope is a good thing ,

The seats are comfy and soft enough. Even the pillion riders had no complaints about the seatsOriginally posted by johnjojo08 View Post
Well i cannot relate it with the 160 as i have not ridden it.
@Sathya:
it rained cats and dogs the same evening i took the delivery of my bike, and i didnt have any scary moments with the rubbers. They were grippy enough. I arrived home fully drenched which i think is apparent from my first photo uploads.Last edited by Scorcher; 06-21-2009, 01:40 PM.Quote:

oh so finally the 'massaging' crown will be given to the new 180....Originally posted by chauhan_saurabh View Post
but if its more than the FI....
it'll loose ur bone joints..........
the 180 will be suffring with the same "no power" below 4000 like FI so in traffic u have to ride it in lower gears....Originally posted by Scorcher View Post
the tyres are TVS remember so dont expect them to perform nicely...
u can try reducing the pressure though tht results in slightly more grip...(m running 28 rear and 20 front)
one more thing...

Frankly speaking,the R15 tyres are possibly the most amazing 110 profile tyres ever made for any Indian bikes providing ample grip even on rainy conditions,TVS tyres just don't live up to that standard.I might opt for dunlop in a considerable amount of time .
