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.
    Cant go above 70k.

        the R15 rear can be used for 160 front. Very good tyre, but little pricey when i last inquired.
        RTR170

          what about the rear??? cant i use the r15 rear in rtr as rear and the r15 front as front???
          its around 3300 for both so ts much cheaper than most soft compound tires......

                  I'm looking to replace my cylinder head gasket,bore packing while rebuilding my RTR 160 engine (NOT at an authorized service centre).
                  Where may I pick up original spares in Secunderabad ? Don't want to get duped in Ramkoti

                    the price for the pirelli is way too high!!!
                    and i'm pretty sure most shops are stocking fake ones.so finding a original is another pain in the a**

                    are ay of the zappers good for grip other than the r15 ones??

                      NO!! R15's rubber is the best in the Zappers.

                              Hey guys been having a problem with my battery on my 160 refresh. When I first got the bike after 10 months it started giving problems such as the battery not holding charge for long,starter not starting the bike up, clock running slow etc, even after checking that water levels were accurate. This was a original TVS battery itself, so got it changed and now again after 10 months I'm facing the same problem with the replacement battery! Why is my bike eating through the batteries? Could it be a wiring/earthing issue? My rear brake light switch did get burnt out so don't know?

                              So if I have to replace it, are maintenance free batteries good for the bike?
