But it's cool, about 90% is on smooth expressway. I usually do my 150kms to work and then the same on my way back home. Takes me about 3 hours each way. I do the same in about half the time on my Suzuki, but the RTR is just so much more cheaper to run I got my Suzuki this year in Feb I think and it's already on it's 3rd set of tyres. The RTR is just so much more easier to live with hassle free and just the perfect size for me too, I'm not very tall I think I'll stick with the stock tyres for now. They seem to be holding up well and grip level is adequate.
    Man... how I envy you... 150kms one way.... wow is all that comes in mind!!

      are they pics of RTR 180 FI version.....or just modified RTR....

      but if they are really RTR 180 FI......they will give a good run for money to the R15 ...Fazers and P220s..

      Hope they are released soon....

          • I will be going to take my bike in a few days. A white 180. I have been a follower of this great thread and have been hearing so much about the beast. But while taking the delivery how do i make out that the bike i am choosing does not have any major problems? And how do i know that the bike hasnt been ripped by some guy during a test ride? This will be my first bike so it would be very helpful if you guys could help me out regarding this. Thanks
            You can only ride better tomorrow if you ride safe today.

              ok , First check if the bike is free from scratches ...u cant really tell if ur bike is ripped whn the speedometer is not connected. someone here also suggested that u should look at the tyres (if they r brand new or slightly used).
              if incase the speedometer is connected(it wont be,but just incase), u can check the 0-60 timer , if its less then 9.9s then its been ripped.

                And what if it has been ripped and i dont get to know it? Wont it affect the run in and consequently the mileage that i get after the run in?

                    • I was lucky to get the bike from their warehouse. It was covered up with bubble wrap, the mirrors, battery, engine oil and brake oil was missing. They got the bike ready in front of me, and even let me be the first to start the bike. Maybe you could ask the dealership to let you pick the bike from their warehouse. That way you won't have to worry about some guy who ripped the bike

                          But i need to know one thing. Will it matter too much if the bike has been ripped once or twice by someone? I mean the mileage and performance?

                          • I really don't think so, bikes are supposed to be able to handle a lot of stress. Just make sure you choose a fresh piece, dealerships usually keep a demo vehicle for the test rides. I mean so what if you happen to get a bike that has been ripped a few times, it's not like the bike will be like damaged forever. I'm sure once you get it you'll most probably stick to proper running in procedure, maybe that will like offset that "ripping" part. Here, I see riders ripping the hell out of brand new B Kings, CBRs those 09R1s like crazy. But when you read their owners manual it specifically say to keep rpms up and rev freely to 10000rpm max(during running in and then go up to 16000rpm at later stages) and not to ride too slow or the internal moving parts wont set in properly. Not that RTR's have similar running in procedure, but you do have to apply a fair amount of stress to the engine so that everything sets in properly. I, however didn't really keep speeds below 50, I rode at 75 and varied speeds accordingly. The bike's now run about 1900kms and everything is ok. Just make sure you keep it in proper condition, don't let your friends ride it and everything should turn out ok. Hope this help
