  • Re: TVS Apache RR310 Launched at 2.05 Lakh Ex-Showroom!

    So I took a short test ride today. Attaching some pictures. Not of the bike though as we have already seen that a lot by now. However here's a picture of me on the bike. I am 6'0 and that's why the bike looks short on me.

    However what other things that I noticed apart from the usual is -
    1. The grab rails are only on the right side.
    2. When you sit on the bike, the place right beneath the seat where your thighs touch, creaks and it makes more noise when you shift in your seat a bit. The argument that these are display bikes and have been abused a lot does not hold true as it's just been about 2-3 weeks since the display bike came. And even if it starts creaking after some abuse, it's a bad sign about things to come. Imagine the bike making such creaking noise whenever you sit on sit or shift your weight. It would get annoying. It's a fibre part beneath the seat.
    3. When I put the keys in to remove the rear seat, the panel holding the lock got pushed back. Again it's a fibre part. Look at the pictures yourself. Although it doesn't look like much when you look at the pictures, it's actually a lot when you feel it.

    Idk again if that is just for this bike.

    Others can confirm if its the case with other bikes as well.
    Extremely sorry for the bad picture quality.

      Had the chance to test ride a bike in Lucknow. no intimation from the staff.. was ready to book the bike but after the test ride i have decided to wait. the bike has vibrations at the handlebar.. vibrations that annoy.. theres creaking over the seat as mentioned.. the position of the was a bit off atleast for me.. the bike doesnt feel exciting in my opinion.. the levers were far away and were too hard for my liking but that can be adjusted with after market levers.. brakes were good.. i didnt trash the bike on the highway but i did take it to 80.. just didnt connect with the bike.. maybe the expectations were just too high..

            This is specifically for people in Hyderabad/ Secunderabad. The address on the TVS website is wrong. The only dealership selling the bike is at Malakpet not Tadbund. They currently only have a demo bike (no test rides) and the booking amount is 35,000 of which 5000 is non refundable.

            Was pretty annoyed with TVS, after nearly a month and a half of visiting the TVS showroom and them giving different dates as to when the bike will arrive, today I called the number on the website and was so happy that they had the bike at the showroom. Because it was on the website and no one had told me otherwise I visited the showroom at Tadbund, the same one I had been visiting all along only to be directed to RAMCOR (an auto dealership) when pressed further they said that everyone is coming and asking them about the bike but they have no clue about it.
            Ramcor (The dealer) has a Piaggio auto dealership at Tadbund and his TVS showroom is much further away than this location.
            Very annoyed that TVS couldn't at least have checked the location before putting it on their website?
            The sales people at TVS aren't really bothered about sending you to an auto dealership to ask for directions.


            Anyway rant over.

                  WTF? I was about to go to Tadibund tomm. Thank god i checked this thread. Thanks a ton for the info.
                  I thought they closed their showroom in Malakpet. Where is it in Malakpet? is it near Honda Showroom?

                  Am not at all sure how they are going to deliver bikes. If they couldnt have a single display bike in showroom. This clearly shows their production capacity constraints.

                      They haven't started the TD yet, probably they wont in near future. All we have to do is take a leap of faith and book the motorcycle directly without TD if really interested. Disappointed with TVS. Thought they learnt their lesson with RTR200, but apparently they didn't.
