2fazt4ya 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2008 Iam also a great fan of Apache RTE160. But I think its worth waiting for the Efi. Any idea about its launch date?'Coz I just cant wait! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdityaM 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2008 The choice available today (though not on par with the world scene) is amazing. When I was in college, you had the 4 100ccs along with the Yezdis and the Bullet. Not complaining though, since the Yamaha RX100 was one of the best!!

sameer08 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 RTR 160 hands down for me... it looks sexy and has what it takes to beat the competition kudos to TVS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogslayer 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 Yes, the Road test in autocar says the tvs men spent a fortune to perfect the engine note you like. I too think the RTR makes a super cool sports bike in India. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yamahaR15 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 hey man..... u go for rtr only if u r a fan of rtr.. it is good in terms of refinement,power delivery,top speed......... but u r not going to ride on a race track...... think before u buy.... some of the problems of rtr it is cramped ,if u r tall go for another bike ride quality is poor compared to hunk, pulsar.... gear box will be smooth at the time of buying.....later on becomes hard to put it on the slot less mileage ....avg u will get 35 kmpl in real world condition. on paper & test report they say 55-60kmpl.......dont believe..... up to 80 km/hr it has same accleration time as that of hunk so if u r riding in city go hunk ,its also more flickable in the city and    resale............ i think hunk is good for u : its only a recomendation .....note that i am not a HH fan ; it will be a hassle free bike... don't judge a product by looking at the engine sound pulsar exhaust note is more better than RTR'S ......  Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rssh 59 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 Well exhaust note is one own decision even I like the RTR's note. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sameer08 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 well each to his own the points of the RTR are true cramped, mileage, and the gearshifts i would go for the RTR because i rode a friends and well i loved riding it... simply for that reason i would buy it... but do note what comes with the bike exhaust note... music to each ones ears Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluesapphire 1 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 well apache is good but some how i like Hunk if u consider 150cc...but for Fi apache is worth buying.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yamahaR15 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 first impresson of a bike may be great ..but.. but we r going to ride it for some .....min 2-3 years that also an aspect first ride may be great...... but we should consider its overall performance...during a course of time if its reliable then okee after buying a bike ,if we r wandering around the sevice centre .........for its ......what u call performance...then ..........its ur decision Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rssh 59 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 @yahamar15 do you own the bike !! My friend does the normal rtr and its quiet reliable no problems till now and the accleration response is still as good well even I say its cramped as I am 6'1'' but its perfect for 5'10'' .

yamahaR15 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2008 not necessary to own a rtr reviews from owners is enough...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikhil 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2008 I also like the RTR.But if you talk about engine notes,i think pulsar 200 is better(just my opinion).I wouldn't recommend hunk because it is not refined like unicorn even though they share the same engine.Also,i read somewhere that the hunk is 10kgs heavier than the RTR.Anyway,the final choice is yours.
