    Saves Confusion

    I've always had confusion choosing between bajaj, honda, yamaha. But never the TVS brand. Its not in my list at all, they can never compete. One thing that differentiates the bike is that it has ABS and nothing much which the other brands dont offer. No broad tyres. no upgrade in the engine. But it is good bike all though. I had a good feeling riding the bike. but nothing different. The Fz is different the 200 NS is different. They have their own character. But apache?

    its using the same tvs flame engine... It has superb low end torque that can put some 150cc bikes to shame...even the midrange is strong... But the engine is of very poor quality and the vibration levels can lead to org@$m$... The ultimate in vibration and roughness... I had a flame so i shared with you...

    TVS is a company which is living with its Old Name that it gained -
    They Refuse to give people what they want , even thier service centres are not supporting their products

    But TVS is not only into Bike production but they are in many areas - so that might be the reason that they are not looking forward to improve the Two wheeler manufacturing Division.

    But AFAIK there are only few Loyal customers available for them.

    Yes, In fact in reality the bike does not look appealing and the bike looks very disproportionate.

    Absolutely i love the design of the bike, still the bike stands out from other 150cc bikes.

    Take care of the bike it will take you to places happily
    The first service is due for 500-750kms. The SVC people will change the engine oil at that time.
    Due want me to change the engine oil before first service.

    No..its not an issue..as your bike is new as of now & engine is in its run-in phase,so its dispatching more heat..After a service or max two,temperature will come down..
