        You mean in a yellow or Orange RTR you would like Engine and handlebar to be painted Yellow or Orange
        Black goes a good contrast with the pearl white of RTR, imagine how will a RTR look if alloys, engine and handlebar and painted yellow or Orange.

            I think he is talking about those LML FREEDOM's which used to come with a single color on whole bike and looked weired.

                  , yeah stickers and paintjobs. +1 to last line. TVS makes bikes for serious bikers and not jokers.
                  Was so close to buying a RTR180 but then fate had something else in store, love the digi console and initial pickup--- its heaven.

                  What LML? What Freedom?
                  The fate their bikes met was disastorus. Imagine a Yellow RTR with alloys and engine yellow... Yuck...

                        I am 5'8" and I find my brother's RTR 160 to be of perfect height with both my feet touching ground. In fact it is the same with most other bikes - the R15, ZMA, P200& P220. Add to that the RTR180 is on 17" wheels. Not sure whether it is lower than the RTR 160 or not but I didn't feel it to be different from the 160 when I rode it.



                        Let the engine run in. It will settle for the better. As such, you cannot expect a Honda/Suzuki like gear shift on the RTR.



                        I really dunno why???
                        Not trying to pull your leg there... but seriously!

                        First thing - you cannot adjust the disc brakes like you adjust the drum.

                        Second thing - you are not supposed to use the rear brake for stopping power. You HAVE to use the front. The rear brake pads are made softer on purpose so that they don't lock the wheel - which is the reason for most falls. The rear brake exists only to aid the front brakes in stopping the bike. Learn to use the front brake and practice not to slam the rear brakes at that time.
                        Thanks for the detailed info dude. I understand what you said about the brakes. Coming to the gear shift, its really bad, since you need to stress your fingers on the foot to pull the gear bar to shift you get a lot of times into neutral or a bad shift putting you in an awkward position on the road. Hope they get better after the 1st service.
                        One more thing I've observed is the vibration once you start riding it with full throttle right after 4k RPM. They really take the shit out of you. I've recently started observing some noice in the engine. Its at the point when you lower the accelerator to shift the gear, I hear this "keech" sound continuously; Its been only 5 days I bought this bike. And the RPM of my bike in neutral is like 3k . Should I exchange my bike or just ask the guy to fix it? Is this fixable ... plz help me?

                        You gotta be kidding me. You gotte whole lotta inseam.

                          no,they wont.

                          the RTR has a notchy gearbox and to get rid of what you're experiencing get in the habit of matching the revs or blipping the throttle everytime you downshift, this will turn your gerbox into hot knife through butter.

                          but say if you're in fourth and came to a dead halt while still in the gear it wont and i mean wont come to neutral unless and untill you'll be leaving clutch half thereby helping the gearbox to get turned by the force of the engine and repeating the steps till you come to neutral.

                                Anyways,the rear brakes (when applied) squeals..Does that mean the pads are gone or there's some other problem?..
                                If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!
