TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

Pros

1. The 197.75 cc engine is refined and offers decent performance. The bottom-end and mid-range is strong, which means that you have that shove when you want to overtake slower moving vehicles in the city.
2. Quality and fit & finish of the motorcycle are good. The first models, launched in 2016, came with a decent list of features as well.
3. Spare parts are easily available. Service and maintenance costs are not very expensive.
4. Many used models available in the market.

Cons

1. The 5-speed gearbox could be a bit clunky. Also, a 6th gear is missed, especially if the engine is doing high speeds for a longer duration of time.
2. At higher speeds, there will be some amount of vibrations, especially on the footpegs and the handlebar.
3. Taller riders may find the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V's riding position cramped.
