Hello guys, I'm Adnan from Bangladesh. I've a R15 and I'm happy with it. Nowadays I'm looking for a another bike for rough/regular use and this time I'm narrow down to TVS apache RTR hyper edge version. In my life I've had more than 15/16 bikes but never have a bike from TVS. So I'm totally in dark about TVS so I've lots of questions.

First things is; in Bangladesh; more than 155cc bikes aren't allowed. so all bikes are here under 155cc. Recently TVS apache RTR hyper edge version is launched here, but it is launched as 150cc even the engine, papers all say 150cc. But all over the internet and website of TVS; it is noted as 160cc. which is right? Is TVS also made RTR hyper edge 150cc? or it is just my dealer that who have imported the 160cc bike just saying it is 150cc?

Second question about the yellow color, does the yellow color fade after use of few months? Are scratches visible on this color more than other colors?

What are special in Hyper Edge version?

I've read about vibration on the net; but how bad it is?

Also read that, some people complaining about the rear tyre. they said, when riding on wet surfaces it feels as if u are riding on an ice slab. Is it really bad at all?

if you puts some pros and cons then it would be easier to me to select the bike.

Apart from RTR, should I go for Yamaha FZ-S (already had before R15), or HH Hunk double disk (had original hunk)?

Sorry for my bad English, waiting for your valuable comments. Thanks.

yellow color in Apache is quiet good, my friend is having one from more then couple of years i guess & it still looks great..there's 150cc version of rtr for Brazilian market so i think what you'll be getting is the same one..

in hyper edge, tvs has flattened the torque curve due to which power got distributed among different cogs better then its earlier model..

vibrations is still there, answering how bad it is will be difficult cuz from POV of some honda rider it might be a lot but for some other rider(don't wanna name any company here ) it would be ok, but yeah vibes are still present..

rear tyre of TVS bikes isn't good but you can always replace it anytime you want..aren't you?

among FZ & RTR, both are good bikes so pick FZ if you want smoother ride & stress free engine on lower speeds or choose Apache if you want quicker & faster bike with sporty feel & also better FE..

@111diablo111: Thanks man, your reply is really helpful. Yeah, you are right about Honda rider; they will definitely find lot vibrations on others brand. I can guess the company name that you don't want to say.
I already had FZ-S and that is the best bike ever I've. But this time I want to go for some new. How is the total bike's performance? Is RTR HE reliable? Is there any particular common problem that I'll face later on it?

HE don't have any problem with it, vibes are lesser then its earlier version, pickup & top end is better then FZ as well..you can rely on it now as it became slightly more refined so you can go for it..
