Man, there's no mod needed to use HUNK's rear rubber on RTR HE. Its the same size and being Zapper, its better in terms of grip as compared to TVS tyres. But R15's tyres are even softer and hence, better grippers on tarmac. However, Pirelli's and Michelin's rubber is the softest and stickiest if you can get that.

Thanks Garry for correcting

BTW,which is the best rubber for the 180 and the price?

any way to identify fork bend by seeing? Well its my first bike, not so much experienced. And dealer will only give one test ride of the selected bike.

NO. You won't get a bent fork bike yaar

Don't worry

Keep a check only to the main things like electricals, papers and all. You got to be unlucky as hell to get bent fork on a brand new bike LOL.

I got another question. Is it safe to ride with tube tire at high speed for long periods of time? Is there any chance that the tube could blast due to heat? Tire gets heated after higher speed for long time, right? So is it gonna be safe if i ride Rtr he on stock tires on 100+ for like an hour, is there any prob in that?

Yes it is absolutly fine if u ride with correct presure on both tyres nothing will go wrong but i wont suggest you do that with stock tyres .

get it done by a person who is able to fix it properly , any bubbles inside the vinyl will make it look worse than before!

My new Apache RTR160's front tyre is very skid-happy when it's raining.

Technically you shouldnt change the color of your bike once registered , but why black

it looks like white menace from far

Should I buy Apache Hyperedge?

Well i am going to buy my first bike

, and since i am student, not planning more than on 70k of my dad's money

, i dont like pulsars

, they are tooooo common, I live in delhi, and need it just for 10-20kms a day but want style and 40+ kmpl.
Performance doesn't really matter much. i am very much intrested in Apache RTR Hyperedge. Please suggest asap, also i would keep the bike for about a year only.

If you are sure about keeping the bike for a year only, don't go for a new one get a 2nd hand instead. You will easily get it for less than 40k and the best part when you sell it after a year, you will get atleast 30k back if you don't screw it extraordinarily.
In case you spend 70k for a new one, and sell it within one year, you will not get more than 50k in return.
CAUTION: I have not sold/bought second hand RTRs. All this is based on what i have witnessed and seen.

Well, I suggest to you go for some Honda/Yamaha then. Reason? No, not that I don't find RTR as a good machine. It is surely a real performer. But as you've mentioned that you don't have much interest in sheer power, then why to go for a bike which is much known for the raw power than the ones which are known for looks, smoothness and ride quality? Got my point? Though, its nothing wrong in going for RTR, but when you don't care about hygiene, then why don't eat something which is known for its taste rather than being hygienic

I would suggest you to go for Yamaha FZ/Fazer, Honda Dazzler or so.

i can bet if u buy RTR ( any version) you wont be able to sell it after a year

as this bike is something else right now i own Cbr250R but often i found my self riding RTR-Efi more than this 250cc beast i had similar plan but couldn't sell her even after 64k kias emotional attachment u see

. Any way if you've 70k in you pocket RTR fits in your budget but also consider Honda Dazller .

**vaibhav_** · 09-15-2011, 05:53 PM

i dont like luks of Dazzler so its out, and btw I was planning to buy in Navrate, or should i wait for Diwali? Will there be a discount advantage?

**vaibhav_** · 09-15-2011, 05:54 PM

Cnt go above 70k.
