                  Blend of both style and practicality
                  RTR 180 and 160 2V both may not feel so comfortable at first and it require some time to get used to over long urban commutes. Good for touring as well, best with speeds upto 80-90 kmph and vibrates a lot after that. Decent mileage. Easy on pocket ownership cost. Became more affordable post GST 2.0. Go for it if you are looking for a motorcycle that is simple yet sporty.

                  Apache RTR 180
                  It feels torn out when it goes above 75 kmph but it has good pickup and it has very good riding posture and the bike is best for highways because it does not wobble on high speed and has very good stability. It has many cons and many pros depend on the usage and different perspectives for different users and different age group. It is best for youth because it gives very good mileage so overall this is a positive review. Yeah, For sure, I recommend this bike because it has decent look and good performance in a decent price range with the branding of TVS and I am using this bike from 2012 and till now my bikes engine has opened only 1 time and I have completed 75000 kms from this bike and I'm very satisfied.

                  VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE
                  Service and maintenance charge is normal, mileage is 50 - 55 kmpl on highway, 45-50 kmpl in cities and streets. Overall, it is a quite good bike with good performance and minimal costs. Everyday rides upto hundred kms can be done easily, I ride daily around 80 kms and it is very easy for me and it's a sports bike even with only 125 CC engine.

                  The flying beast..
                  This is one of my favourite bike in the list and i selected this bike as my first one in white and black combo also it has sporty look and everything is good also i'm already using a bajaj bike from last 4 years and thats the reason i again choosen the bajaj pulser. The long rides are comfortable engine performance with the mileage speed its control throttle everything is smooth and I have ride 312 km from my city Farrukhabad to ghaziabad nonstop and it was just flying smoothly. Yes i would really like to recommend this bike to all the person or youth who want their first bike to be a sports bike with average range budget. The bajaj pulsar ns 125 is the one where they can go for it without any hesitation.
