User Review

Tvs stryker 125cc is called the little brother of Apache RTR 150. Mainly because of the tail light is similar. Overall the motorcycle is very good. In 125cc segment this motorcycle surely stands out. The sitting posture is not sporty but it's really comfortable. Used it for around 30239 k.m. till to date and never failed my expectation. I have got to accept that the rear shock absorbers works great. Best part about this motorcycle is I get 52 k.m.+ /liter after the engine break period. Breaking is excellent. Top speed I have got is 100 + k.m./hour. The fuel tank is bulky and eye catching. The ready pickup is there and works properly even when riding with a pillion. Now for the problems I have found. Firstly, Engine vibration over 66 to 70 k.m./ hour speed. Maybe that's because of the engine oil I have been using but I will surely find out with in some days and will give you an update soon about this. Other then vibration the motorcycle is a bit light for 100 k.m. +/ hour speed limit. Then again it's not meant for racing type of stuff so that can't be considered a problem I guess, still a bit more weight could have made this motorcycle better. I must say the handling is great on this motorcycle.

So, Long story short,

Good things about it,

1. Good handling.
2. Looks of this motorcycle is eye catching.
3. Fuel efficient.
4. Engine build quality is good so far.
5. Ready pickup.
6. Comfortable sitting posture.
7. Tubeless tiers.

Bad things that I have faced till to date,

1. Engine vibration @ 66 to 70 km/ hour*
2. Headlight is a bit dim.
3. Light for speeds more then 100 km/hour.
4. There is a problem with double stands, it hits the road on high speed some times.

For the price range this motorcycle is good. Hope this review helps.
