I am owner of a 1-year old Fiero Fx.Happy to see TVS produce Apache a more powerful bike with 5 gears.It is a good competitor in the 150cc segment.
I think next TVS should aim for a 180cc.It should go chug-chug-chug even at 70-80kph like the earliest Fiero/Enfield/Pulsar and not Whirrrrrr Whooosh after 55 like the F2/Fx.And no vibrations please.I am looking for a powerful bike that will be comfortable in long rides on the highway in double ride.Wider rear tyres would help too.
Please keep the structure simple as in your other bikes(which are very comfy indeed and provide excellent handling).Do not get into the Sports bike mentality being pursued by KB.That may be somewhat successful in wooing image-conscious urban youth.But the bottom-line is that the structure makes them unfit for long rides as well as for smart maneuvers in city traffic.Sooner or later people are bound to see through that.
