I test rided RTR three times and I could feel some difference in motor in all the three bikes, one was OK two were nothing better than vibrating stuff. I have done this on Xtreme, probably about dozen of them every motor feels refined and responsive.<BR/>According to my xperience RTR is still alive with basic issues which plagued earlier A150s.<BR/>Xtreme is much better package overall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612698.post-32147101399224856872007-07-16T11:35:00.000+05:302007-07-16T11:35:00.000+05:30Someone seems to have asked my question already, b...Someone seems to have asked my question already, but I could not find the answer.

Or your excitement :D<BR/><BR/>Met a RTR dude at the gurgaon expressways recently at night- 4 lanes of blissful tarmac, and with him a bit ahead of me at the delhi police checkpost, managed to get ahead by 75-80 kph and stayed that way till 90 kph (he went on to top 110 easily, but at midnight 80-90 kph is all i'll do between trucks and endless callcenter cabs).<BR/><BR/>Rest, I agree - superb bike from a looker perspective - seen a red one up close, very nice, but frankly, CBZX seems to have a better stance - rtr/apache both seem puny in comparison.Hitanshuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11190815955642888158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612698.post-79550314653111887712007-07-09T17:21:00.000+05:302007-07-09T17:21:00.000+05:30From a Vibrator to a smooth 'no' vibe engine, to s...From a Vibrator to a smooth 'no' vibe engine, to seeing 120 kph "very" easily on the speedo, to the best handling 150cc in the market, to be feeling 30 kph less at 76 kmph.... is there more to this than what meets the eye?<BR/>Did TVS suddenly got a magic wand or has the bike come straight from the gods....
