This is my research on The menace , Apache 180 after a close review on Apache 160 rtr , rtr fi and all the technical specifications given on fr 180 cc , since the basic model rmains the same with few changes . Intial models of rtr do face the chalenge of poor handles sinc it gave an vibrations on 60 - 70 speed but this bike specially , tvs team has kept that point mind and hav corrected that by makin changes in the handle by puttin it on single lever whch they say wud solve the problem .. I hope this bike comes with normal kick also with self as with self since its a pain in rain with only self .. Now the good points of this bike r


Step-up Seat: Pass-light: Low Fuel Indicator: Low Oil Indicator: Low Battery Indicator:these wat the net says but things that atrack me the most is 18 bhp power and the rear disk brakes , , most of the bajaj bikes r failure on rear brake plus the Fuel injection system shud be added feature that gives gud average also around 40 50 as it seems and co claim is nt yet out but 180 pulsar gives 40 too so thats ok if compare that .


Looks r liitle sad since height is little low fw 6feet people but when one can adjust with pulsar cetainly can adjust with this one also


Now this a standard feature in heavy bikes but I think this should also be added in bikes like these is back gear rest which makes gear changing hard since there is no back foot support


And plus engine is good as I know it sounds mad but checked that with the service centre as since its just an upgraded version of rtr fi.. But wat sucks is the spare parts availability as I think that should be easily available like pulsars network, , this is not a good feature with all tvs bikes.. But not that its not there at all plus bike genrally gives trouble after 35000km or 3yrs


Depending on the usage as well that too would be max of clutch plates wch is another weak part in pulsar


Dosto my last bike of the life as I am 24 nw , , i think few more years uskee baad toh gadiyo mai chalna hai , , sounds funny but this is how lifes been goin with all plus then wud be sounding childish dreams of goin on bikes and attending my offc on it .. So wanted to be sure that the bike I buy this time has everything that a bike could offer and would for next few yrs , I knw the new 200 cc apache has abs brakes with all the same feature and added looks but cant wait for it nw since have been waiting for it since last rtr fi launch //


Hope all this would help u make a decsion in all bikes as I knw this bike is the most expnsiv in its range of 150-200 cc thats available with gud avg but I think has everythin that one looks fr gud avg and gud pick up and ok with looks


DRAW BACK OF OTHER BIKES


hunkhas cbz engine ie old tech plus 13.5 bhp


pulsar180lacks all thse feat of fi , , range of meter specification mnetioned above plus chainset and clucth plates and rear brakes is standard problem , and its only 16 bhp bike



P 200that apart fr above std problem has no kick wch is felt in rainy season when self dosnt work well


R15 tech wise is the 1st on to use radiater and is very smoth and excelent looks but bhaiya wat abt the avg , it gvs 25 -30 avg plus very expensive fz 6 bhiya mat letna dhoka hai , it has low avg with no gud feature as is 13.5 bhp and 149.5 cc with only gud looks


Wch ones left ok abut unicorn and othr 150 cc bikes r out of my search since they r something that wont suit my taste and demands


I want looks , avg , style , tech , add feat which I think only apache 180 is offering at a little high price ..
