BS6 TVS Apache RTR 200 4V review, road test

The one big change is at the front, where TVS has designed a flatter, wider and more contemporary headlamp. Not only does this full LED headlight work well with the rest of the design, its throw of light is sufficient in the dark as well. What will certainly take some getting used to, though, are the DRLs that look like raised eyebrows. The rest is very familiar, and while general all round quality is good, the finish of the plastic around the DRLs and speedometer are a little underwhelming. 

Another cosmetic change the Apache has undergone is to the graphics. The BS6 model has outlines of red with carbon-fibre finish inlays, instead of the solid red graphics seen on the earlier model. While the decals bring in some freshness, the current white and black base colour options look a little dull. Brighter, racier colours like yellow, red and blue will work nicely on this design.
