absolutely right.. infact i think its absolute crap.. it cant even be called an upgrade.. its high time these manufacturers stop throwing left over bones at their customers and rather bring out a new bike when they have some significant changes to offer to the people.. all they will do is slightly change the shape of stuff, add a couple of extra plastic parts near the tank and the fairing.. and lo.. they think they've given the people a whole new bike altogether.. .
Its sad even without any major upgrade ( although they are yet to be announced) manufacturer launch a new bike.
But if you go by a common man thinking, people usually ignore to buy a bike which was launched more than a year ago. Thats been the strategy from most of the manufacturer.Changing color,adding extra plastic here n there.
Amazing, but this strategy has worked in the past and they are conitnuing with the same. That is what they can do if they have no new product to offer.They have to be in the hunt.
@all going for grey apache 160 ; wished had white in 160 .
thanks for your replies
Mate do remember to run -in ur bike properly .. and ride safe ..
Same wish
Congrats on your decision btw
I've rode apache for long and long, and being 5'9 I never felt any pain or anything, but yeah for 6'+ it could be an issue.
yeah..but i think people are getting smarter. and the company hasnt targeted apache towards people just looking to buy a bike for commuting like the splendors and passions.. what i mean to say is, small plastic upgrades and cosmetic changes are fine as long as there is also some change in the engines .. either their displacement, the way they function.. its mainly the engine in the bike that brings out something new for the people which people enjoy.. they may have the same model and make absolutely no cosmetic changes. .but if they improve the engine, or atleast give people straight free choices of choosing their engine capacities on the same bike, i think people will like that a lot more than just small cosmetic changes..

or imagine.. the all new harley davidson. with new STICKERS......
the most pathetic was the so called upgrade of the passion to passion plus.. imagine.. no changes at all . just the stickers on the tank..thats it.. those idiots call it an upgrade and theres a very big community of idiots who even buy that crap and get excited about the all new passion plus...
