    I forgot to mention this earlier, but i changed the fuel filter the other day. When i was poking around the bike with the tank removed, i see that my injector is actually silver with a black rubber cap. So i actually had a silver injector all along, which is probably why i've never faced the missing issue. Funny, since my bike is a Sep '08 model. And i thought i had a magic black injector. Also probably why i never had the pull you mentioned of till 12k.
    now that's a news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    do compare it's size with other FI,the silver is slightly bigger...
    my bike is oct 08 model....and it sported a black one...

    I have an FI and many people have mentioned that the vibes are greatly reduced, if noticeable, in the 180 so keep that in mind. Below is my FI experience.

    At around 5k rpm, the handlebar vibes are so bad that my palms get all red and tingly and absolutely unbearable. So cruising at that rpm is out of the question. Above and below that rpm it's pretty acceptable.

    From about 5.75k rpm to 6.5k the pillion footrest vibrate, again unbearably, so you will have to avoid that rpm range if riding with a pillion. Simplest solution is to just cruise faster than 7k rpm. During normal city riding, while you may pass through the 'problem' rpm ranges, it's usually over before it can be an irritant.

    From what i've heard of the 180, these issues are negligble, so while it still may not be as smooth as a H or HH or Y bike, it's still probably better than a Bull i guess. So if you want a reasonably priced, screamer of a bike, then go for the rtr.

      I dont think anyone has tried and its not necessary. The RTR in its air cooled form is as such good enough!

                    • Thanks Alejo, if i got your name right.

                      So the refresh is 1.5lakh rupees in colombia, and the p200 1.77lakh.

                      The Michelin Pilot Sport 100/90-18 works out to a little over Rs. 2k

                      In response to your other query, you will be able to use 17" tyres if you replace the rear wheel with the 17" wheel from the rtr 180 if you can find it there.

                      p.s. oh and please, call me julian. Mr. paul makes me feel old !
