      If you are talking about flat-out acceleration then at 60km/hr you have to be in 2nd gear otherwise you are just not accelerating enough!!

        Well thank u all.....i usually cross 60 in 2nd Gear only will try now and possibly post the vedio thanks and by the way guyz i forgot to tell
        I visited TVS showroom here in pune....Century TVS

        I saw the hyper Edge new flavour of RTR160. Well this time again there are only fabric changes. Its only the makeup graphics that are changed and nothing much has been changed. I asked that technical guy abt engine so he told that nothing much has been changed......talking abt vibrations i started that the firing was as same as the previous one.....morever it has been priced a bit high which is a question why it is done.....They didnt changed internally much....unlike 180 in which the bore size was increased vibrations were reduced to a bit extent and overall wheelbase was increased....In hyper edge wheelbase is increased but when i took a ride.....it was not that much impressive....

                  Well urs is extremely gr8 but then it depands on certain factors too most importantly the weight of the rider and the air pressure. If it is 70-75kgs and a highway as in ur case then i must say a 3.8 to 4.13 is quite achievable but urs is like blurring...........let me try heheheheehehe

                      True. Too lazy to wake up early mornings. And the traffic after 8am is maddening

                        NO !
                        the only factor contributing here is the super wrong timer of the RTR console

                          hahahahahahahahahaha renny man now u r pulling his leg...may be but its true whoever has tasted Apache be it be 160 or 180 the kick start is really blurring with and then it all depands on rider as well TVS claims 4.13 for 0-60 well this is quite achievable as 180 is best in class upto 200cc segment no doubt abt it when it comes to pickup. But then 3.3 hmmmm i dont think there is some fishyy abt the meter alright alright hey by the way anybody checked out TVS TRU spray. Well i got it from TVS center its actually good but then its costly as compared to OKS which is around 225 and this is somewhere 295 or some 300+.
                          OKS is really gr8....both are quite acceptable
