TVS Apache RTR motorcycle ownership review by Rashed
At present world for your own need it is necessary to have a better transport and in our country basis what can be better than a motorcycle. For our country roads motorcycles are very suitable to use. When I was a child I have no interest about motorcycles. My father used to move on at the city roads with motorcycle but I was not didn’t pay any attention about this vehicle. But when I was in high school I used watch those people who were around me using motorcycles for their travelling. One day I decided to have my own motorcycle. Day after day I become passionate about motorcycles and after one year learned to ride motorcycles from my father. 10 years have passed I have used two motorcycles and at present I am using bike named Apache RTR 150 for two years. In my opinion I am riding this excellent motorbike from Apache. I purchased this motorcycle because of its stylish and handsome looks with modern features. Know from bellow the lines I will share some of my personal experience about this sport category bike from TVS motors.
Why I liked this bike:
- Stylish sports look
- Controllable and comfortable.
- Fuel efficient.
- Strong and durable.
Outlooks and Design:
Apache RTR is manufactured with great sporty outlooks which contain well made design and color combination also. This motorcycle is built with aerodynamic design. Paint quality is very good and screech proof I guess. From the front this bike looks more beautiful because it has uncommon headlight protector. Side kits and engine kits made the outlooks more charming of this bike. people who likes sporty motorcycle will love this bike at a glance.
Controlling or Riding experience:
In my view without good controlling riders won’t get good ride experience and at this side this motorcycle is good. This bike provides good and smooth controlling for the users. . In my personal experience this motorcycle is easy to control for its good dimension design but at the top speed sometimes this motorcycle vibrates which is unusual thing and disgusting to me. So overall at the controlling, I got very good controlling and handling with this bike which makes me satisfied.
Engine performance:
Every user need their motorcycle engine perfect and as 1500ccc bike it is perfect. This motorcycle contains 4-stroke, single cylinder, air-cooled 150cc engine. This engine can produce high quality max power of 11.19 kW (15.2 bhp) @8500 rpm and torque of 13.1N m @ 6500 rpm and for that reason this type of power and torque riders can give superior performance without any doubt and I have experienced it . For past two years I am using this bike and I haven’t faced any problem with the engine.
Long drive experience:
I often use my motorbike for long drives because I just love to travel. I went about 300 KM long distance with my bike. Without this journey 40 or 50 KM journey is very usual to me. In my experience this bike is able to provide mileage, speed and comfort both at the long journeys but as I said this bike vibrates much at the top speed that’s why some times I had to face some difficulties also. For riding at the city roads this bike is perfect because it is not larger or smaller in size and it can provide good control at the traffic roads. In two years no occurrence occurred at the city roads with my bike and that’s why I am very satisfied.
Speed and mileage:
Speed and mileage are the best part of this bike I am totally satisfied with its performance. From the very start this bike is best at its top speed all the time. I have crossed the speed of 125 KM/H and it can be said better riders than me is able to cross 130KM/H. This has a specialty which is it has speed along with mileage thus it is a sports category bike me. I have got 42-45 KM/L mileage from the beginning and it is almost the same at present.
Pros:
-0-60 KM speed at 5/6 sec.
- Better performance of the engine.
- Strong enough to carry weight with good speed.
- Very stylish and available with shiny colors.
Cons:
- Less controlling at top speed.
- Narrow tyres.
It’s been two years I am riding this wonderful bike and I have changed only a few spear parts. That’s why I am pleased with this bike.
