TVS Apache RTR 200 vs Duke 200, Pulsar RS 200, etc. | Pros and Cons

In this video, I feature the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V Matte Red and Matte Black colour variants.
TVS Apache RTR 200 takes on its competition. RTR 200 vs Gixxer SF; RTR 200 vs Hornet 160R; RTR 200 vs Pulsar 200 RS; RTR 200 vs Duke 200
I talk about its pros and cons. I give you the exhaust note.
I share the actual mileage figure based on user feedback.

[@DestinationRides]

After completing 4000 kms on RTR 200, I felt this was one of my best decision of 2016.

[@DinosVault]

it's an amazing bike, no doubt

[@omkarpatil5647]

Destination Rides same here :-)

[@DestinationRides]

Dino's Vault And to tell you, I had many other bikes in mind, but I brought this bike seeing your first ride review. So indirectly the credit goes to you. Thank you. !

[@shirils8491]

Destination Rides do u suffer from engine heating? and sound difference?

[@DestinationRides]

Shiril S Engine Heating - Yes, Before my first servicing. Post that never felt so. I did 800kms ride nonstop and still the engine was normal, No excessive heating. Sound is still the same, as before. No change.

[@soumyajitdev648]

[@Mototune16]

[@AJsVIEW]

Excellent Dino! But i still prefer the 180 RTR...

[@DinosVault]

[@menonwithacanon]

Hi Dino! As promised I saw the video as soon as I returned home. I was confused between the Hornet and the RTR and I must say you have made it pretty clear as to what I should go for. ;) I'm just waiting for the ABS FI variant to launch. Thank you Dino! Keep the videos coming. ❤😁

[@srinivasbiranthbail]

Thanks Dino! Most complete video on these bikes in recent history and it does answer lot of queries hope they launch the FI version soon i understand looks can be subjective but this one closely resembles Kawasaki Z250 which is a good thing :)

[@gopikrishnank7231]

good bike ...but the problem is tvs has kept me in the dark for 5 months now and like everything has a expiry date... i am out of patience too... now decided not to buy rtr... instead i am going for RE himalayan!!(ya i know its like choosing oranges over apple.. but still) thanks to dino for reviews, updates,tips on both bikes.. u helped me a lot thanks man!👍

[@shaikshahahmed8541]

[@shivcharangauns6746]

sir FI ABS is it released? if so then where can i buy? i live in goa and its not available here!

[@rohitkaryappa6912]

Hi, I am confused whether should I wait for Hero HX 250R or not? Will KTM be launching duke 200 in new 2017 model? So I am planning to go for Rtr 200.

[@aprasad666]

Nice video Dino bro. You being an owner of a Duke 200, you still has something for the RTR 2oo. This makes me feel that buying an RTR 200 was the best decision I ever made in my life. :)

[@DinosVault]

I am a former rtr 160 owner too bro, so I understand the character of the RTR series well. Duke is an amazing bike, no doubt, but the RTR series is special as well.

[@thawaninirmal5270]
