    I would like to add... the bike ride is a bit harsher side cuz of the increased tire height.
    And the side of the tire scrappes on the chassis.

    Also let me know if I can get 110/80x18 size tire available anywhere in India.

      I'm also gonna be running tubeless tyres soon. They are much better than tube type.
      joel what do u recommend for the RTR rear in tubeless?

            That's an IRC tyre. 100/80 I guess. It was mentioned a few pages earlier.

              A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

              Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.

                          Cannot comment on the Apache's quality, but Bajaj is surely not looking into their premium bikes. My P200's black mag wheels have started to show their 'true colour' (white) already!

                            I did'nt quiet get wat u meant by two tone fender?

                            i never had a problem with the paint! alloys would get white patches coz of punchtures!

                            silencer would change its colour too coz of the heat! (big deal man.....just 100-150bucks to repaint)
