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.

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.

Aprilia SXR 160 is built for better comfort
Aprilia SXR 160 can be considered as the successor to the older Kinetic Blaze and enters the Indian maxi scooter space right where the latter left off. Aprilia SXR 160 is built for better comfort and features than the SR 160 and promises to fill the niche that exists between a traditional Indian scooter and a proper maxi scooter.
