    You have to live with the vibrations with RTR160. If you like the vibrations, go ahead with it. It is more powerful than a Hunk.

      hello friends changed my mind from hunk to rtr160 since it met all my requirements and i fell in love with it after test riding it

      now should i prefre rtr160 with rear disc brake or with drum or rtr180
      fi is out of my budget
      if i take 160 should i go for change in the tyres to tubeless
      what are the points to check ina new bike at showroom
      what accessories should i ask for
      how important it is to feel strong,
      rather than just being strong.

        Pick up the 180 with or without the rear disc (depending on your budjet). The 180 is more flickable than the 160, smoother pull at low speeds and 17" tubeless wheels at similar fuel efficiency.

        160 has 18" wheel at rear and finding a tubeless is a nightmare. well, almost.
        No accessories needed unless they are selling the saree guard, crash guard and number plates separately.

          what about the vibrations
          is it less in rtr180 than 160

          also mileage difference

          if not tubeless then which tyre better to go in 160 or stock one is gud enough

          mileage is a concern

              the RTR 160 refresh has lesser vives than the RTR. I did not ride the RTR 180 beyond test drives but those who ride them regularly say it is smoother and vibes lesser than the 160. When I rode it I did not feel any vibes at least at the RPM where the 160 would vibe. The gear shift too is better in the 180.

              Mileage of 180 they say did not go down from the 160. Some even said it is better. Check the ownership thread to get a better picture. The stock tire is not as bad. You can happily see it through the summer. Then get a new tyre based on what is available in the market. Getting in the Unicorn's tuff-up tube is a useful option.
