Well as the people above mentioned,the RTR has more torque and has its power band is in a much lower rpm range than the R15. My cousin at present rides a 5 speed RX,and if he was to get impressed with the 180,you do the math!

heh heh heh .. talk about love at first sight !!(or first ride !!)Originally posted by kimikid View Post
But seriously is the accelaration really better than the R15 ?? maybe, considering they have the same power at the crank !! But I'd reckon, that with having a better grar box, yamaha might be making more power at the wheel !!Leave a comment:

Took a test ride of the RTR180 at Bridgestone TVS,Bangalore today. As mentioned earlier,the yellow variant is not yet out! The bike really blew me away with its acceleration.... Its miles ahead of my R15!
My cousin had accompanied me and he was so impressed by the bike that he booked the Pearl White one on the spot! In fact he's mostly getting the bike tomorrow as he went for the full cash option!Leave a comment:

In my place the tvs guy told me tht it will take one month to come to their Showroom , when its already available in HYD , can anyone tell me the exact OTR in HYD.
And One more thing , shd i go for this bike now or shd i wait till the 2nd lot??Leave a comment:

One Hell Of A Machine
I took the Apache RTR 180 for a spin, IMO this bike can do little touring rather than city riding(not commute)
As far the mileage expected 40 said by RAMKAY TVS
Three colours available White,Grey & Black.The Yellow colour comes after 2 months
Last but not least Apache RTR 180 FI won't come this year & Apache RTR 160 FI Production Won't Be StoppedLeave a comment:

Ditto here, but I prefer my own reviewsOriginally posted by insanebiker View Post
Sadly, the bike hasnt got the RTO clearance from Maharashtra yet.... I have been pestering the TVS guys for it ....
They say it will take another 2 weeks! Sigh, till then rely on what goes here.... *and silently hope that the first lot gets sold ASAP*
PS: ASAP = As Soon in Andhra PradeshLeave a comment:

Not to mention the lack of a rev limiter. It revs all the way till 12000 rpm.Originally posted by Aparajith View Post^^What character?
The RTR's stock gearing itself drove me nuts, so much so that I increased the gearing with +1 tooth for front!!!
And with a 46T rear+17 inch, the damn thing will not hesitate to wheelie off in second gear!!!
A 42 or so wud have made more sense with a 17 inch rear. Anyways who am I to judge? Let the owners and TVS do it! They know better than I do.

Oh yeah,go ahead post reviews from OD , RTR owners will enjoy reading it
FYI i love the RTR except for those jarring vibes
I mean you post so much on the Ownership thread and everywhere there is the slightest fart of the RTR .... just makes me wonder! I am sure you have one and hide it somewhere
Heck! I HAVE a RTR and I DONT post so much!!!!!
@Aparjith: The longer swing arm might be the answer to your prayers.... but the RTRs were always supposed to be insane in the gearings na

If you go by that card, then I will throw the reviews from OD where people were happy with the ride feel!

Lolz you post so much on the RTR related threads, that at times I wonder if you have a RTR hidden in your houseOriginally posted by insanebiker View PostWhich was confirmed by Satish's short test ride
