The bike of my dreams
I had bought my bike back in Jan 2017, and till now whenever I ride it feels like new, this bike has low cost maintainance for a normal service it costs around 1200-1500, and the mileage is awesome, I got a mileage of 48-50, and in long range ride once I got a mileage of 58, this bike is decent for daily use, because nowadays many big fats bike are here but still my beast doesn't feel old or less stylish, plus it is pocket friendly, I would suggest this is the best bike for a normal person.

Over all good at performance
It's good bike with good efficiency and mileage. You can use this for long time use. Proper air cooling. Best bike for long drive. It makes you feel so comfortable. You will enjoy the throttling. Feels smooth. Premium category and very under rated one.I suggest everyone to buy this bases on my experience

Apache rtr 180 review
Overall experience good but city mileage very low only 35 in chennai. 80k run in native salem i achieved 46 mileage but in chennai it is very low. Plastic bodies get dull after 50k.Overall looks and bike looking good. Small size bike and riding feels vibration after 50 speed. Double disc feels good compare to drum.
