  • Apache ref/fi or GS 150R

    hi friends earlier i had asked regarding 2nd hand zma or new gs 150r.but later i've realized that second hand vehicles cannot b trusted also it offers poor mileage.
    i'm now inclined towards these 2 apache nd the gs
    i recently had a test ride of both the vechicles but was not really able 2 judge since the ride was 2 short also there was a decent traffic.

    coming 2 the bikes :

    gs:

    pros: i like this one for
    its smoothness,console,gr8 mileage figures(~55 kmpl read frm owners thread)

    cons:rear seat is too high-uncomfortable for n e one also ur legs wo'nt touch the grnd when sitting behind -it some how makes me feel insecure.

    apache:

    refresh:
    pros:good looks,nice pick up,ok mileage
    cons:vibrations,sort of does'nt give a big bike feel

    fi:
    pros:better mileage
    cons:cannot equip the bike with race performance kit if tvs releases

    but as of now fi is better than refresh
    can any one assure the credibility of the fact that tvs is (also when) going to release th race......kit?

    an intresting point is that otr prices of th bikes are:

    gs150r:68658 -----------dobro

    apache:68148(no rear disk)-------------shanti tvs-narayanguda
    ~75k --fi


    would b buying the bike in mid april.
    thnx for ur replies(obviously advance me hi.)

      you can't compare a city bike with a performance bike first.......

      in ur case it solely depends on ur liking.....

      if u want smooth relaxed no frills thrills riding go for tht suzuki...

      and if you want just opposite of all this go for the FI........

      TVS will be coming up with remapped ECU for the FI tht will spell more performance for it so dont worry.......and to be frank till it comes out the "stock" FI will be keepin you entertained.......everytime......
