If someone makes a list of those people who love motorcycle I will definitely be counted on that list. I always had soft corner and passionate about motorcycles. When I became younger my passion and love about motorcycle becomes greater than before. I have learned motorcycle riding at the year 2004 and my friend was my instructor. After I learned bike riding whenever I got chance to drive a motorcycle I didn’t let that chance go off my hand. After I learned motorcycle riding I had ridden few motorbikes named Dayang, Discover, TVS Metro etc many more. I always wanted to have my own bike. Last year I fulfilled my dream and purchased my very own first bike named TVS Apache RTR150 by paying the amount of 1 lack 92 thousands. As I remember it was May 2015. Purchasing showroom was Shakura enterprise placed in Rajshahi city. Little things I want to say about me
My name is MD Akhtarul Islam.
Riding with my bike
I usually use my motorcycle for city travelling and to drive the way to my home district. When I ride with my bike I always feel better controlling and for this I never felt embarrassment or uneasiness. Better quality suspension, current pickup and good setting position always give s me better riding experience. I made many long journeys with my bike. Rajshahi to Bogra, Rajshahi to Shibgonj, I was very much comfortable at those journeys. I have got better mileage and top speed always with by bike. I have crossed 115 KM/H speed with my bike.
Those things I like about my bike
As I said I purchased this bike by my own earning so every side of my bike is better to me but overall few special things are in my loving list which was also the reasons for having this bike. First of all I love the size of this bike because it is larger in sports category. Along with the size its design is also very attractive and rare. Side kits made the design more charming then previous model. Third thing which I liked about this bike is its current pickup, 0-60 within 4/5 seconds which is awesome. Last but not on the list is its mileage and speed. In one word both are tremendous.
Those things I dislike about my bike
Few bad sides of my bike have caught my eyes in this one year and I think every biker who uses this bike will say the same words. Among the bad things I noticed first is, this bike vibrates very badly after it cross 80 KM/H speed. Secondly I observed at the braking time tyres skids which can be a reason of bad occurrence. At night riding headlight power is not sufficient I think. Bikes chain decay very faster than the others. In very short time my bikes chain has damaged. Last thing I find out is the ground clearance of this bike is not perfect. At the speed brakes it creates problems very often.
Taking a good care can increase the longevity of your bike so it is necessary I think. For my bikes fuel I use the mixture of 40% octane and 60% petrol. After 100 kilometers I change my engine oil. These are my little observation in one year with. Though this bike has some bad sides but overall performance of this bike is pleasant. If anyone asks for my ratings for this bike I will give 9 on 10.
