true, but i dunno if the stock back drum on the RTR refresh can cope with the increased power, i hope that it will be able to. The kit should be a MONSTER on the fi and 180 though, that i can surely sayOriginally posted by spicyracer View Post. The only thing i didnt like about the kit was the exhaust, i rather like the stock one

ok so i went for a test ride of the Menace and I loved it. Monday, and i just might go and plonk the cash. How do I make sure I dont get a test bike? They told me 73,800 (including Rs 900 for accessories helmet lock, teflon coating,indicator bleeper and seat cover) which I have refused. Is there a thread for a check for a new bike? (sorry guys searched but couldnt find one, maybe it should be parked.) The TVS guy on the inner ring road I checked says he can give me the bike on the same day, (color : grey on monday) with the number on tuesday? He also said he has 2 whites available for immediate delivery. DO i trust him n go ahead?Last edited by sammyboy76; 07-12-2009, 02:01 AM.2017 KTM Duke 390

Don't know the exact answer, but:Originally posted by sammyboy76 View Post
- Go for the white as they are not giving those for test rides as far as I know. In general, going for a unique color helps in this case.
- Go for the showrooms which have test bikes separate - there you may be able to detect test bike either by looks or just note the engine or chassis number for the test bike. I know, at least, Meghdooth(MG Rd) has separate test bikes and Gupta Motors doesn't.

^^ Thanks Saurabh. I took the test ride on the Grey and the color i want is the same as well. This guy had a diff test bike as well but because the colors of both are same just wanted to be careful. Will check out other showrooms as well if I can, else see what happens on monday.2017 KTM Duke 390

I test drove a white from the same showroom a few weeks back.Originally posted by sammyboy76 View Post
Good choice - I think it suits your requirements . Its a great bike for city use. Loved the revs, ride quality and handling. I did not feel any vibrations during my short ride. It is not very comfortable for tall guys.Comment

Indian Apache
TVS is making great Strides...
Guess what...The Indian Apache is heading towords USA....
TVS Motor will launch its premium 160cc bike Apache RTR in the US this year,
The Chennai-based two-wheeler company has cleared the mandatory technical and emission tests for its bikes.
TVS Motor president (marketing & sales) HS Goindi
“We are in the launching mode, and finalising our entry into the US market. Our bike has met all stringent technical norms in the US and we have also appointed distributor to sell our products in the market.” The company will launch our advanced fuel injection Apache in the US. We have tweaked the product we already sell in India with some minor changes to meet the US automotive standards.”
According to an auto industry executive, TVS has held negotiations with Classic Motorworks, an importer and distributor of two-wheeler in the US.

It is not very comfortable for tall guys. and U rode a white one so I guess they use all bikes for test rides but then i guess its fine. Unless someone hasnt crashed it I think its okay to go ahead as long as it looks in good shape. I am taking a white one, delivery today
Did u ride it on the broken road next to the showroom? I was pretty impressed with the shockers, they really absorbed the bad road very well.
BTW u on TeamB? Name seemed familiar so just asked.2017 KTM Duke 390

It is sad that they are using available bikes for test drive. I think it is still fine as they were allowing test drive on the broken road next to showroom - not on the main road.
Yes, I took test drive in the broken road next to the showroom close to three weeks back - very short drive.
I was very impressed with the ride quality.Comment
