I have detailed my reasons to buy the Apache 160 RTR in my previous post, but I am surprised to observe that it has actually been two years since I first laid eyes on this matte blue beauty! Even today, when she stands all shiny and clean, I can’t help but lose myself for a couple of minutes in deep thought pondering over the times she has been such a delight to ride!
28000 kilometres, countless surges from 0 to 100, three falls (twice, thanks to the wonderful people around us with no road sense and once due to my own mistake), multiple reliable and noteworthy servicing sessions from TVS and I still have a smile plastered on my face every time I twist the throttle to hear the engine rev up with the anticipation of the immediate acceleration she is capable of in gear.
It’s been an eventful two years with multiple Nerul-Pune rides being the only long rides I have taken her to apart from the daily runs from Nerul to Thane and I have never once been disappointed with the performance. The brutal acceleration, the immediate stopping power and the consistent mileage are all factors which have kept me wanting more.
Happy Anniversary, my Blue Beast! Long may our romance continue….
