                  To be frank the engine is so smooth compared with it's previous versions...no vibration till 90kmph and I have found the sweet spot at 80kmph. The highest speed which i have clocked on this bike is 130kmph on a national highway I do long and short rides frequently on this bike and I feel little pain on my palm and back on long rides because of little hard seat cushion but when it comes to a ride of upto 140kms no stress at all you can make it easily, and in love with it's bass of its sound. I'm a pure lover of riding bikes.. and I must must recommend this bike to the people who are in there 20's to 35's and are looking for there daily commute but in style, power, and most important efficiency then is the go for bike totally worth it.. The stance it has and the looks it grabs on the city roads are just wow

The gear is soft. I feel free when I ride. I take it to work. I ride on weekend. It is easy to use. It never gave me big problem. The feel is nice. I like how I sit. My hands don’t hurt. My back is okay. I ride and I smile. It is fun. I don’t want to stop riding. Yes, I tell others to buy it. It looks cool and rides nice. It is not too hard. It is fun. If you want a bike that makes you happy, get this. It is good for city. It is good for weekend too. The bike is safe. It is strong. If you want good bike that looks nice, this is it.

                  Reliable Performance in Every Ride
                  I liked the look. It was simple but strong. I saw other bikes but this one looked special. The seat was good. The bike was not big. I checked the feel. It was light. I liked the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V brand and name. I read many good reviews. So I picked it. It was not too costly. I wanted something nice but simple. This was the best one for me.
