Apache 150CC wheel base is lesser than Discover 125CC. TVS never understood the concept of wheel base.
ya. but have you taken the Apache on tight twisty roads or on tight traffic?
then you wont critisize its wheelbase.
take the old pulsar (the first model, shorter wheelbase & round head lamps), take a sharp turn or make a zig zag, the rear end becomes really unstable or will just kick out, now thats called instability.
take a Apache & do the same @ same speed or higher, nothing will happen like that, except you wanting to take that corner at even higher speed.
the new pulsar is not as good as Apache in terms of handling in tight places.
TVS didnt spend sooooooo much of money on R&D on its indigenous bike.
about the instability at high speeds, dunno much bout it, 90% its related to handle(streeing)/fork damping.
shorter wheelbase= retarded RAZOR SHARP handling.
Apache RTR is for the performance seekers, not for ppl who love to cruise.
