vibs has a band near 5k and after 9k rpm

any body here who owns nov2010 lot bike i want to confirm something

mine is december 2010 bought, so obviously november 2010 made. i have taken it to 7000 RPM max, and trust me, minor vibs on footpegs and thats all. They are NOTHING as compared to 160 and take my word because there is a 160 in my home too.

i have done 160 kms in 5 days of purchase :P this is very less because my primary mode of travel is my Diesel rocket

. A strange thing i noticed is that the Pass light works even without bike being started. it works on battery only. this is very strange for me as lights are not DC in RTR.
Also i am in love with the Torque curve. I think the best part in addition to its handling. Torque is so amazingly distributed that i never feel i am riding a 180 cc bike at low speeds and gears. Havent been on high speeds so cant say, but i expect it to do wonders as i reached 110 on 160 in real quick time.

Will drop in some more points as and when they come. Taking it for teflon tomorrow

how are your front brake means dose they lock in one time when you squeese you lever or they give small small jerks .

prateek bhai's bike doing the same it give jerks like desi abs it release pressure
but dose not lock wheel .
first time i think tvs has done somthing in braking .if not then your front brakes are defective .
i want to confirm that thing .

Which 160 ? Refresh ? EFI ? Hyper Edge ? Vibs are less in Hyper Edge too , i will always cruise @ 50-65KMPH i.e always around 5k rpm .

Gonna Purchase an RTR 180

Hello Guys,

New to xBHP. Have been reading through as a guest for so long.

Booked an Apache RTR 180 White, and delivery in another 4-5 days probably.

Any advice for a newbie buying an RTR? Not even thinking of tuning to start with. Atleast till runnin period is over.

Go the Xbhp magzine......two words IT SUCKS

Hi All Apachians......

I bought Xbhp magzine while i was travelling to indore thought of checking the masala inside it. My advise to all is that dont buy it.....the contents are only about trips photographs and riders experience about how they felt while travelling to hilly areas and photography was the only concern there....It was written that 200 pages of solid biking stuf...yeakkkkkkkkk.........i found only 4-5 pages that to with only how to adjust the chain tension thats it....there was no comparison on the bikes there was no details about any performance and bike maintaince.....nothing. Morever it was looking like more of a NAT GEO nature stuff rather than a biking material.....

As compared to over drive its nothing......it is just a info i wasted Rs100 on that

Having my fingers crossed. Test drove it and fell in love with it.

Was owning a Unicorn 150 2nd Ed red, and sold it because of minor issues with the engine.

Waiting for me next BiKe!

+1
super bikes superbikes super bikes all it has super bikes
and hills .i think they have maded it for rich peronses who can afford super bike and they can do this with their literclass .i cant afford them .
where is my indian ride .
where are a indian common rider who rides a plantina or star
i think they are trying to tell us a bike is not only for commuting from one place to another
but tell them also who has these 100 cc bikes they can do a lot with it rather than commuting in city .
nothing solid content wastage of 100 rs
a 2l petrol was good insted of this crap

super bike can go in 0 degree its a 1000cc
take a splender their then it will be interesting .

and when a splender owner will read it he will get to know his rides capability and he will be proud of it

i found the ceat book let on roadsafty from idiots more interesting than mag

I value your observation, but here are my thoughts:

If you read the aims of xbhp, as now listed on top of the page, point 2 says "Shaping motorycling as a lifestyle in India, especially on performance bikes". Those who are into performance biking do not deal with regular biking material, correct? I'm yet to see a 100cc, or even a 125cc bike owner in xbhp. Why? I feel they are more of bikers by need more than bikers by passion. We have lot of other mags which caters to a wider range.

And one more thing, if the first edition release notes itself Sunny has said that there wont be any ads or masala in the xbhp mag.... so weren't you looking for stuff that was never included?

Once again, just stating my thoughts. This is not an argument.

Peace...

The bike shouldn't stop in jerks... It should simply stop...

Does your brake lever pulsate when you brake hard (real hard)...
