Just done 300kms on this new bike. Great style and a well deserve buy in the 125cc segment. Considering the fact that it is only 125cc, the styling is a bit overwhelming but at the same time everyone likes to ’maro some style’. Very good pickup and bike does not vibrate when pushed to 70-80kmph. I think the mileage could have been better, it is now giving 55-60 km/l. Easy to handle and corner but the handle is a bit stiff, i guess it will be fixed after 1st servicing. I went to rasta peth to fit a electronic lock in the bike, the technician who was fitting the device was very impressed with the mechanics/design of the bike. I like the split seat arrangement however for the person sitting behind its a bit high.
I always liked the tubeless tyres, makes u feel comfortable on a long ride especially around the country side. I found its suspension/ shock absorbers better than my ex-bike apache rtr. For those simple living guys who just want to go to office and move around the city buy this bike, it really good but for those who believe in setting the street on fire.
There is only 1 choice, tvs apache, i am eagerly waiting for apache 200cc with abs.
