    I don't have the pics of any other color but from the brochure(brochure with friend, will try to take a snap from it and post it once i get hold of it) its clear that even the tank will be red/yellow/grey instead of the black color in previous editions with the black strip on the cowl remaining the same.
    In short red/yellow/grey apache will have red/yellow/grey color in areas which are white, with design being identical.
    Black apache 160 will have a black body with the design in grey color.

    EDIT: Face lifted 160 now comes in white colour & black colour.Green colour been discontinued.

    180 & abs model colours remains same.

    Old designed bikes are back in 2013 year production & co-exist with the face lifted one.

    Hi Shrikanth, the Sirac Street has had mixed feedback by people who have tried it and in general there is a feeling that Michelin quality has gone down with newer Sirac Street. If you do try it then let me know of the results

    If you are somewhere in south Bangalore than JC Road would be the best bet. I have personally bought tyres from a shop called Madhu's enterprise in Langford Road but not sure if they have Pirelli's and the sizes required for the RTR.

    Mine is a new 2012 RTR with that weird looking faring and comes with tubless tyres both front and back .. the old ones come with tubed tyres ..

    ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

    Thank you Yogesh for your suggestion ..I Am also considering getting the OEM Spec tyres instead of wider ones .. tyres you suggested are good but i have come across some differed opinions about zappers. also do you know of any place where i could get a good deal on pirelli MTs or Demons ?

    Thanks & Regards,
    Shrikanth

    Would like to summerize my need once again .. I need a tyre which works good on both dry and wet conditions. it needs to be tubless . I checked if i can use a little bigger tyres on my bike but i think there is only about 8 mm space between my rear tyre and chain case right now.. so i dont think 120/80 are gonna work
    Any suggestions would help ..
    Thank you
    Hi Shrikanth,

    As per your need, you only need tyres that grip well in Wet and Dry. IMHO, you should not be upgrading the size of the tyre. Mind you, upgrading the tyre will change the ride-ability, handling and milage of the bike (not to mention other unforeseen effects). My suggestion would be to go with OEM spec size. That would be either MRF zapper or Pireli MT/Sport Demon.
