Trust try using it and you can even smoke a P200 or karizma in city traffic and watch them scan ur bike at next redlight. but word of caution judge the road ahead before lining up and do not froget to lean behind the fairing with elbows pressed against ur rims. And hey once when i ws comin from jaipur to delhi enroute a downhill track i took THE FIERO F2 TO 140Kmph by speedo and there is no salte in it people . Now the only worry i have with riding at such speed more so wth the RPM/s is blown silencers due to high back pressures. Well i have got used to it now. I hope TVS rsolves the silencer issue if it really RTR goes to 12500rpms.People join the Rip The Road CultMrAmitKumarNainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322603206274126988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612698.post-80440852564372733602007-08-18T20:40:00.000+05:302007-08-18T20:40:00.000+05:30Hey rearset, i was just wondering why do people ke...Hey rearset, i was just wondering why do people keep saying that the Apache is for shorter riders, I have seen the specs of all the 150 and '+' bikes and the saddle height is almost the same, its always in the range of 790 to 805 mm, in fact many people say that honda is taller but the unicorn is also 790 mm, which is the same as Apache RTR. Is the apache actually smaller (so the specs are all wrong) or its just a perception ...?<BR/>which bike(non cruisers) in india has the lowest saddle height ...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612698.post-29504220744863681682007-07-13T18:59:00.000+05:302007-07-13T18:59:00.000+05:3062990 on the road in Pune62990 on the road in PuneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612698.post-55707824319574322932007-06-29T13:13:00.000+05:302007-06-29T13:13:00.000+05:30@LavkeshTake as much salt as you need.
