TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Price in Cuttack

I bought this bike on Jan 21 up to 15-16 k km it was ok though its maintenance cost is high. But in the last 18 months, it was like a nightmare for me. Too many electrical problems with this bike. Low torque is very bad, from the beginning itself it has had a clutch short problem. I ride this bike around 24.5 k km and have spent more than 50k for its maintenance in the last 4 years.

About the Reviewer

This is the best 200 cc bike .Highly recommended .The Apache 200 was always one of the best motorcycles in the 200cc segment and all the updates it has received for 2021 come together quite nicely to make it even better. The bike feels planted at highway speeds and is extremely sharp around the twisties.

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
