Guys, I would like to share my experience of owning an apache. To start with I am just about 6 foot tall and you can imagine the trouble I would have to choose a bike . TVS Apache was the last bike in my mind as I was looking at buying a bullet. Thankfully a friend of mine again another tall guy came home to show me his Apache that he had brought and one look at it I fell in love with the bike. If he could ride the bike so could I and hence I took the beau for a spin . Imagine to my pleasant surprise I felt completely at ease and could everything just fit right for me . Rode up to my girlfriends house a few streets away and took her on the bike for her opinion too. I think we both just loved the bike looked, felt and responded and here I am owning the apache for over 2 months and over 3000 kms on my odo . What I feel I need to tell is the control that I have while riding this bike . Its amazing and I think its comes specially beacuse it is shorter than other bikes. The manuverablity and cornerring in this bike is a piece of cake . I think the best in class and being a short bike it allows for confident riding . I think every other bike should adapt to this height which would suit the average indian. As for me apache being shorter performs better and delivers more thrills to me ( as I find my girlfriend happily closer to me in the pillion seat ) and my girlfriend with superb manuverablty, mileage and performance. Way to go TVS .
