Hi guys, I am planning to buy a bike in the next one week. My eyes are firmly set on the apache rtr 160. the following are my usage patterns:
daily commute: 50km approx
about 70% of it is city riding.
mileage expected: 45+
no long trips.
age: 19
height: 6ft
city: bangalore.
regular service will be done and i dont revv the bike a lot.
what i expect from apache 160 is minimum maintainence cost with regular servicing as i dont want to spend 85k on the bike and end up with lots of problems in the bike. I am not looking for top end in the bike, my max speed would be 80-85kmph.
with all the above conditions will the apache 160 last me about 6-8 years without any major issues?? this will also be my first and last bike for sure so i want to buy a good one.
I initially considered the yamaha fz as well but seeing the mileage figures of 40 avg, i dropped it.
