        I was about to book Apache 160 4v, but I think Hornet 160R should be the choice.

          If ABS is a priority for you then go with Hornet, otherwise the Apache is the superior motorcycle in every way.

            Hi,
            I am concerned about he suspension in Apache 4v. They say it to be race tuned, implying stiffer. So I suspect they will cause back pain on village roads.

            Can you help me with this, as this is the only point I am confused.

              Hi,

              Dude nothing like that at all, don't believe all their marketing talk. Even the RR310 has a soft suspension setup too, even though they market it as true race machine meant for track days.

              It's a given that almost always TVS motorcycles will have suspension tuned for our roads, meaning more comfortable than their segment rivals. Even though they have good sporty riding intentions when you hustle them, they won't be as stiff as causing back pain.

              So good ride quality is indeed a character with TVS motorcycles, especially the new Apache 200 4V from which the Apache 160 4V is derived too.

              Cheers!

                Yes am also expecting the same.
                I have quoted same but more descriptive question in "Which bike" section that is yet to be approved.

                Will definitely like to hear from all there, as well, as I will be booking the bike this week.
