After reviewing & searching some 150cc bike model available in India. Before this I was owner of tvs victor which model I used approx 14 year & result is good. So based on my past experience with tvs I decided to buy apache 160 model, till today I drove 1000 k.m. & note that my driving style is normal not racing style.
My experience with apache is good, my some observation as bellow
Good stylist bike, good pickup & speed, good exhaust sound., gear shifting is smooth, good digital speedometer(fuel gauge display minor variation, some time 1 point up, some time one point down, at same stage)
Foot rest & back sheet rest is not in bike so I modified this personally because I used this bike for tour with family(wife & 2 child), so i request to tvs, pl. Note this, some family person also like apache & use it for family tour. I hope tvs thinking about this matter.
Sitting style is slightly difference(racing style) compare to other bikes, but after some tour i feel it is better.
Mileage observed in rajkot city 51kmpl(at speed 30 to 50), & highway 56kmpl(at speed 50 to 60), not checked mileage at 70 to 100 speed because at starting period of new bike it is not good to drive above 60 speed, i will update further,
Some one asking about vibration at high speed, when finished 700 k.m. driving for trial purpose i was drive to speed 100 on highway for checking, i don’t found any type of major vibration, (bet’n 55 to 60 speed i feel minor vibration which is also seen in other bikes at high speed). Also tyre grip at that speed on road is good.
For chain oil use tvs oil spray, it is better
In short if you like apache 160cc & accept above thinks, go for it
