]I am a proud owner of a **YELLOW Apache EFi** in **delhi with double disc brakes.** I had loved it in auto expo 08 and was waiting for it. I had always liked apache.looks was one of the main reason for buying it.I brought it through **CPL autos**(**okhla phase****2) new delhi.*


The dealership experience was good. they did not have efi on display that day but they explained everything about it in detail, but I dunno why they were suggesting me to go for RTR and not EFi. they were interested in selling RTR more than Efi.


But i purchased an EFi as I was waiting for it. I had gone to book my bike but ended up taking delivery of it as they had just got yellow EFi. they told that EFi has a waiting period of 15 Days but  I got  **immediate delivery** because someone else had booked it earlier but postponed the delivery date as he was unable to pay balance on that day, whereas I was ready to pay full amount. so I got my bike immediately and took it home. the whole process was smooth.


I was alloted my vehicle number immediately. **I am a****NOVICE rider** and this **my first bike** and I am still learning the nuances of biking. I am enjoying my bike. I got on 3rd september( ganesh chaturthi). and I have done **40 KM.** so nothing much to write about but I found its **handling easy** and **confidence inspiring** for even a **learner like me.**  it has got good pickup. and ride is good . I found the riding position **comfortable. I am 5 10.*


I have not gone for long rides so dont know about comfort on long drives.( I still dont have licence). please give me some good tips to improve my biking ability as I am learner. I have been told not to cross 50 KMPH for 1000 KM and I have not gone beyond 40 kmph. **Fuel level indicator is not working properly** as it just keeps blinking and does not show any specific fuel level.


I bought STUDDS helmet of rs 850 is it good?? it is half face helmet. I tried **AGV** but they had only few pieces and they were small for me as** I have big head and big ears. **ths studds fitted me well as I also **have to wear spectacles** all the time. I have also fitted **AUTOCOP** Bike Security system.it is easy to operate and provides good protection. I went for autocop as I have autocop in my car for 5 years and I was very satisfied with it and I think autocop is a very good company which makes good quality products. **please give your valuable tips to help improve my riding. your comments/ suggestion/tips will be highly appreciated and I shall be highly thankful to you for that.
