The RTR 160 2007 has vibrations at 6K RPM. That is below about 80 KMPH. Above 100 it is not that harsh... it is like normal with slight vibes. The RTR160 Refresh (2008) has a little less of them. In fact, my brother's RTR 160 refresh has very less vibrations compared to other RTR 2007 models that belong to our xBhpias... but we thing that we are plain lucky for that.Originally posted by bhargava_sr View PostI heard RTRs got lots of vibrations after 100kmph speed
The RTR 180 I rode was much smoother than the 160's.
This is one machine that makes you forget the vibes with the fun way it puts out the power. That is its character. Some like it. Many people don't buy a Unicorn because it feels bland. That again is to tehir likes & dislikes.
Ride, feel & decide.

only 600metres to get 120 is impossible unless you're running 2km of slope....

i didnt intentionally want a speed bust ..
saw a clear highway while on a xbhp ride and opened the throttle

Never tried it from stand still but its more than 16 months since i crossed 131kmph.
i hit 136 on a 1km downhill slope and 133kmph on a 1.5km straight highway. Everything was a rool on kinda a speed burst.
My rtr hit 125 @ 11.3rpm in 4th gear 5-6 months back
cuz when i hit 126 on my FI it took almost 1-2 kms to get it as it was a straight road....
125 at 11300 in 4 sounds awesome.........

A small test ride could make you clear about all your needs and you can evaluate accordingly!!
