    although not dc but apache has better quality reflector and throw of light than a pulsar[barring 220].

    now for those who are cribbing aboout apache's high speed stability,how many of you do constant 120 kmph?

    and the question remains why do i race?
    every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

      Really?
      Its bright enough even at lower rpms,agree to the reflector part though.
      It all begins with a thumb-start -- Oh, wait, I forgot the kill-switch

        only rtr abs has d.c. set-up.
        pulsars are all dc.

          I know that Pulsars have dc setup.I ride a '09 A180,just that your contradicting statements didn't make any sense to me when I read it

                    Okay....thanks for the input

                    Heard that the new PULSAR range's coming this year

                    Is it true??

                      It may come this year end but it might be little late also. You can go for the current gen pulsars. Bajaj wont discontinue the range now. They wont if the current range sells well. The current gen Pulsars are also good, VFM, and very economical as well as Fuel Efficient. You can go for them or RTR180 whatever you like.
                      Whats there in a signature?

                        although no concrete news but lower cc s are expected at the last quarter of this year.

                          the apache rtr 180 and the pulsar 180

                          i travel 15-20 kms everyday
                          rare tourer. About max 150-150 kms(up and down) in a year.(i do love touring. Maybe someday i will go further.)

                          My Queries on Apache 180

                          Vibration

                          1>>>>How bad is it? Rode the hyperedge at 70kmph....didn't feel any vibes
                          2>>>>Heard the vibrations start at mid 60s and ends at mid 70s. Also heard another theory that the vibe starts at mid 60s and doesn't end. Which is true?
                          3>>>>how good of a touring bike is it?(i don't go above 100 kmph. So is the bike smooth till then?)

                          Mileage
                          1>>> i need atleast 45kmpl in the city

                          VFM
                          Is this worth buying when i have to compromise on non-smoothness and lesser mileage?

                          on pulsar 180
                          1>>>is the pickup as good as the rtr. How much of a difference is there between these two bikes with respect to acceleration?
                          2>>>Whenever there is a comparision reviews between 200+ccs, apache 180 is also included but never the pulsar 180...why? Is the apache 180 that good or is the pulsar 180 that bad?

                          Are there any other bikes in the 180 segment?

                          The Vibrations in the Apache is high when it crosses 70 Kmph
                          It is not a touring bike the riding position and the DNA of RTR is racing.
                          RTR 180's can give a maximum fuel efficiency between 35-40 in the city
                          Yes you very well go for it when you compromise in vibration and FE

                          P180 cannot match the grunt and pickup of RTR
                          Acceleration is better in RTR when compared to P180
                          It is because RTR has the capacity to match with the 200 cc bike cos of its powerful engine

                          On the balance you can go for RTR 180 it is better when compared to P180 except the FE....

                            The statement in bold is utter nonsense.
                            I do agree the vibrations exist, but in the 2012 models... they are close to non existent, engine is far more refined...

                            @Mileage, there are RTR owners who claim a mileage of 45~.... there are lots of them, so i suggest you atleast check the RTR 180 ownership page before commenting.
