  • Please guide me!!!

    Hello xbhpians, I am Ataur and currently i own a TVS Apache RTR 200 and soon my father would be taking this bike and he has asked me to buy a new one.
    Something about me, currently studying engineering and i love to travel on my bike. Started from riding scooty then TVS Apache 180(2012 model) and finally TVS Apache 200. Actually, Apache 180 was my father's bike but he gave after he met with an accident. I always wanted to have a KTM but nowadays KTMs are too mainstream and lost the reputation it once had.
    So, back to the main point I have to buy a new bike which should be better than Apache 200 and maintenance should not be much expensive and the bike should be reliable as most of my rides are to places where you would be lucky to find a mechanic and to some extend fuel economical.
    Thanks in advance.

          if you can stretch your budget a little bit to maybe 150 then you can consider dominar non - ABS, but i would recommend the ABS if extra 10-15k doesn't break the bank. ohh and it definitely suits your purpose you will get amazing power of 35 PS which is way more than Apache also it is very reliable so far speaking since i own one and have completed around 2000 kms. the only cons you'll be facing is lower mileage and unavailability of parts and mechanics in remote areas.
