At the time of its launch, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V was the company's flagship motorcycle, until the RR 310 came along. But the Apache RTR 200 4V has been a successful model for the company and has been given regular updates over the years. Over the years, it has proven to be a decent motorcycle for daily commutes and TVS ran a one make race championship on the RTR 200 4V as well. And straight off the bat, if you do get a good used model of the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, we will suggest you go for it. Nonetheless, here are a few pros and cons of buying a used TVS Apache RTR 200 4V.
Pros
- 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.
- Quality and fit & finish of the motorcycle are good. The first models, launched in 2016, came with a decent list of features as well.
- Spare parts are easily available. Service and maintenance costs are not very expensive.
- Many used models available in the market.
Cons
- 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.
- At higher speeds, there will be some amount of vibrations, especially on the footpegs and the handlebar.
- Taller riders may find the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V's riding position cramped.
