    I have not seen a single 2012 Apache neither 180 nor 160 in my city. It clearly show how this new design is being hated by even noobs....

    Headlight is not that good as compared to older one.

    Like the DRLs by the way.
    I find it interesting, 8 out of 10 people gave negative feedback about my new Beast when they first saw it online (Still Image/Pitcure)

    but when i bought it back to home, i havent seen anybody who said older version looks better then this... Watch it practically you will surely love this model, it really looks beasty.

    I ask you to take 2001's CBZ and Fiero and then compare with today's (or maybe 2009's is better idea) RTR 160 Fi to the Unicorn. Unicorn was considered a "family bike" with ultra-refined engine so it had a market albeit a different one from that of the RTR which was considered the mod friendly entry-level race bike. Similarly was the case with CBZ and Fiero. Fiero WAS a runaway success BTW, TVS just kept selling it for too long.

    PS: Strange karma though isn't it, that the Fiero evolved into the Apache RTR 160 Fi, and today's CBZ has Unicorn engine

    P.s at that time i was in 8th std or something and was a pulsar fan mainly because of and the ad and also the fact its indian company

    I never liked the looks of Apache, though was impressed with its performance (minus its vibes). But when i had a chance to look at the new apache few days back i slowly started loving the the looks of the older apache. Whenever i am seeing the old apache i have started to give it a secondary glance.

    It slowly started to grow on me.
