BS6 TVS Apache RTR 200 4V review, road test

With its BS6 update, the RTR 200 4V has become costlier by Rs 13,000, taking the price to Rs 1.27 lakh, and unlike earlier, only one version is available now. This may seem very expensive, but its nearest rival, the Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 costs an almost identical Rs 1.28 lakh. 

As has become the unfortunate trend, motorcycles are getting more expensive, but TVS is trying to offset this with equipment like a slipper clutch, dual-channel ABS and Bluetooth connectivity. These features are hard to come by at this price point, and that makes the RTR 200 good value for money. The Apache holds on to its identity, and while it’s still not the best high-speed highway cruiser, it makes up for it by being a fun yet fuel-efficient package.
