        • HI RTR Owners,

          I am planning to attend the California Superbike School in Chennai in Jan. Since I currently dont own a street or a race bike, I would be riding the bikes provided by school - RTR. I just wanted your view on the bike's cornering abilities and also wanted to check if any one of you has taken this bike to the tracks ever. I saw a picture of a guy dragging a knee on RTR - any1 has tried that? I guess they would have proper track tyres and not TVS on this, if they are confirming that the bikes are track ready. Any other suggestions or advice would also be most welcome.

          Ride Safe and thanks in advance

                  as compare to p180 you get more power awesome braking and uniqueness i personally don't like the tvs tyres and the chain sound which is also known as common rtr problem rest is good
                  i sugess you to go and test drive each of them you surely feel the difference

                      If they'll be providing you the track spec tyres then get your self RTR and have loads of fun in it.
                      Many of us have scraped our pegs in the same TVS tyres, so you can do the math what kinda wonders you can do with some leach like tyres !

                      The bike is superb fun around corners, make sure you keep the rear at the 5th setting.

                      have fun !

                                According to those speculations (Apache RTR/FI thread), its just 5K INR more than the current iteration.
