Realized nothing else will do other than an Apache after test riding a few other bikes. I know 200 will be the logical choice since its newer and better in all aspects but the 160 fits me like a glove plus I love the burble of the 160/180 engine better and also am ok with the vibrations since it gives me the feeling of power (except during the long rides). Analog tacho is another weakness for me, especially seeing the needle climb. My queries include:
    1. Are the vibrations in the new 180 comparatively lesser?(not a deciding factor, just to know)
    2. Are the ergonomics and seating the same in the new design 160/180?
    3. Was able to only test ride the 200 and not the 180 as they didn't have one. Can anyone who has ridden both back to back or experienced both to their full potential tell me if there is a huge difference between the performance, chuckability and ride?

    P.S: Are the SVC's in Kerala good enough to manage the RTR relatively well, especially ABS versions if issues crop up?. Apache's are a rare sight in Kerala and i plan to get my new bike in Kochi as i will be shifting there in the coming months.
    160 and 180 are same, just a little bit faster the latter one.

    I've changed my rear tyre to Mogrip meteor 120/80 today. Compared to the stock ones, this thing sticks to the road like a gecko
