  • Choose among Apache160-Gixxer-pulasr180

    Hi fellas , I am going to buy a new bike in 150-180 cc category .SO far have shortlisted Apache 160 ,Gixxer ,Plusar 180.
    Among the 3 the Pulsar is the lowest contender in my consideration due to being same age old model & you see pulsar every where so it lack bit exclusivity one expect .
    then comes Apache and top contender is Gixxer .I love the looks of Apache & have driven my cousins bike.

    Today I went to the showroom of bajaj & Apache .The Apache showroom guy in Dehradun quoted on road price of 78078 for single disk & 80235 for dual disk Apache 160 bikes ,I feel they are charging 9K on 69K showroom-price ,which I feel very high on inquiring he mentioned 2000 for leg-guard & sari guard .
    Do you guys feel if the quoted price is Ok or I am being take for a ride ?

    Abour Gixxer, I could't go to the show room but I have a few doubts regarding its spare & maintenance-cost compared to Apache or pulsar ,although a better performer than Apache or Pulsar & would surely go for it if i could get it for 80K onroad in dehradun .

    The Bajaj show room quoted(Rs 5894 +ex showroom price) 3800 for RTO ,1689 for Insurance & 405 for bringing the bike form Pune factory to Dehradun (Thats what the sales girl told me when asked about the rs 405 ) .SO bajaj charging about 5894 for tax+rto+Accessory & TVS asking about 9000 for tax+rto+Accessory .

      Hi Hitesh,

      Gixxer is more refined than Apache and Pulsar but is definitely not a better performer than the two.
      Of the three, I would suggest you choose between Apache and Gixxer as the P180 might be replaced in the near future.

      Regarding the on road price, I believe other members from Dehradun should be able to answer you better. Try to persuade the TVS dealer to provide the accessories for free.

      Regards
      Pradeep

        Hi,

        The new apache rtr 180 abs is a bit more refined than the older models and its a very negligible problem. It outperforms all the above bikes you have mentioned. If your budget allows, then do consider this bike. After all abs is a safety feature worth the 10k extra you're paying. The non abs version is a no slouch too. You can get that for ~85k if you're into the design and considering the utility value

        Thanks

          Nobody is looting you . Apache 160's onroad value is around 80k (single disk) here in lucknow .
          As a matter of fact Apache is a more fun bike to operate and maintenance is also low .
          Since you live in a place like Dehradun , I would never recommend a Suzuki bike because finding parts at the latter stages may become a humongous challenge .

                    Giccer was the best option with minimal Vibes and peppy engine. Congarts
