My Experience on TVS Apache
TVS Apache 150

Agree Kumar, Its a really stupid bike. When I was buying (Apache RTR 160) it, I thought I'll be different from others, every one is buying Pulsor/Karizma/CBZ, I'll go for TVS,as when I was buying Yellow Apache was just in the market. But TVS made me to feel in very little time that I was wrong by... choosing them. 1.Vibration :Apache RTR 160 starts giving vibration at 55kmph. If you cross, 60kmph, you'll feel like you are sitting on vibrating chair. 2.Gear : You'll never feel in which gear you are. You have to remember in which gear you are. 3.Mileage : I feel its about 45-50 kmpl, I think its okay for the city ride. 4.Breaking : The only thing I feel good about bike. You can drop from 103kmph(my highest) to 15kmph in very little time. But be very care full. 5.Service : After service from TVS service station, I feel like I paid my hard earn money to get 'Water Wash'. 6.Electrical Problems : Most of the time you'll be in a loose contact. Going back to Gear problem, 'Neutral' indicator will be off to put you in a mode that you are 'Not in Neutral'. 7. Rear Seat : Its only good for 'Girl Friend', who is always ready to hug you, otherwise, rider has to carry the weight of rear seater. My humble request is please don't go for TVS, atleast Apache RTR 160. In my view, before buying a bike, 1.Please check for vibration start point. ............I am feeling irritative to ride bike because of this. 2.Parts availability and cost, 3.Mileage, 4.Breaking, 5.Service Quality. -thx, Shivu.Read More
