TVS Apache RTR 200 4V price in Seoni

First of all on paper it seems awesome but in reality it's very different.
I purchased a 200 4V in dec 2020 and I have covered 28000 kilometres on this bike.
This bike has problems now and then, and the built quality is very poor. (Sometimes starting issue, battery down issue even though the battery is fully charged etc)
Like its balancer gets damaged while tackling potholes,
Its chain sprocket is very poor i had to replace it at 11000 kilometres just to let you know I ride my bike sensibly.
Its LED light got dim.
Certain noise comes from the engine kat kat kat
Whenever I visit the service centre one or more parts have to be replaced for sure.
Till now I have spent nearly 30k to 35k on this bike.
Radial tyre got damaged at 21000 km which was shocking as in my area roads are good.
I will not recommend this bike its on-road price must be eye-catching but after-sales service as well as the built quality is pathetic
Choose your vehicle wisely.

About the Reviewer

Ok, so let me inform others about my ownership review of the Blue Beast. I purchased it on August 1, 2021 in West Bengal. I should say every dealership here will force you to buy their insurance else you have to do RTO registration and insurance through agents (You know why). The ex-showroom price was 1 lakh 36000 and on the road it cost me 1 lakh 70000 bucks. So, Buying experience: 3.5 out of 5.
Riding experience: That's the sweetest thing TVS can let you experience. The engine is a gem. If you ride it in the city at 5th gear and keep the engine below 4000 R.P.M, or 55 kmph, you will get 45 kmpl+ mileage in the city. I tested my bikes so many times and I can claim it gave me close to 52 kmpl sometimes. But for this ride it is gentle.
I did a 360 kmpl trip from Kolkata to a forest in Bankura and my speed varied between 70-100 kmph. I got an overall 47 km to a liter. So, this beast will deliver decent mileage if ridden sensibly.
I once was racing with SBSTC buses (local Lamborghinis) on NH2. During this ride, I achieved a top speed of 134 kmph (It's recorded in the TVS Connect app). Even after 120 kmph, it pulls cleanly. I weigh around 90 Kgs, so, a lighter rider may achieve a speedo indicated 140+kmph too.
The only concern is the seat. It's hard, very very hard. After 60 kms of riding, your butt will feel severe pain. Pillion seat is the most useless thing on the bike.
Performance and mileage wise: 5/5
Comfort: 4/5
Servicing and Maintenance:
There is a reminder option in the console and every 3 months you are supposed to do servicing. Engine oil is synthetic and will cost you around 900. Add labor charge and some parts change if required. So you can assume a tight constraint of 1500 INR.
Reliability: I was in Bangalore for a year, and when I returned, I had to change the battery and fuel Injector which was a major cost (around 10,000). But before that, I covered more than 5000 kms and I never faced a single issue. So, I can assure you it's reliable.
Reliability: 4/5.
Pros:
Engine
Low Maintenance
Reliability
Service
Cons: Seat
I hope I have helped readers with all the info. Thanks, have a good day
