        The bike is a piece of beauty. The comfort and the ride experience is as smooth as butter. I am a proud owner of Apache. The surprising part was the mileage of the bike- 53-55 kmpl.

        Superbike for me. I am a college student and this bike is best for me. Maintenance cost is very low, hence it is under budget.

        Nice experience for this bike. I want to change the bike with Pulsar N160 Dual Channel ABS. I think this Pulsar N160 gives me best comfort for riding position and great performance with perfect BS6 engine. I think Bajaj has reduced the vibration from the bike so bike sound will also become good.
