Heavy and require lot of maintenance
When I saw advertisements of TVS Apache, it really urged me to buy the same. I tested the bike before buying and it rode smoothly. For a couple of months I enjoyed driving the same but then once I had to travel some 100 Kms on it and then I felt the pressure. It was not meant for long journeys, as it is not very comfortable and heavy to handle.
I almost lost the control while taking a U-turn twice or thrice and so have to slow down the bike, keep my leg down and take a U0Turn. After my long Road Journey, the engine of the bike was heated and it almost stopped. I have to take it to the mechanic as I noticed smoke coming out. The mechanic said if I would have rode it further than there could be short circuit in the spark plug. He said Apache is good look wise but the design is not meant for continuos run. From then I use the bike less still it needs more of the maintenance. The bike could have been a better ride if the built up was strong enough to hold.
