Looking for a good time, around-town blaster? Then this modest attitude motorcycle could possibly be just the motorcycle for you! Selling off for about $19,000 as you see this, this bike is a nice-handling, trustworthy machine that won't bust your pocket.
Let's move on with the best section of a motorbike, the powertrain. An 88" RevTech engine (3 year warranty) moved my test Apollo on the highway quickly, given that the cycle is actually lighter. Other motor alternatives include many S&S Cycle and TP Engineering offerings, and a Crazy Horse Bottlecap 100" motor. My RevTech was fitted with a Mikuni carb that worked great. The engine started on first spin when hot, two spins when cold with just one twist of throttle. Being easy on said throttle got me 72 miles on the streets on 2.4 gallons of gas, which is once I switch reserve on the 2.5-gallon tank.
My bike was also built with a RevTech five-speed tranny (5-year warranty). Tranny alternatives are sometimes a JIMS or BAKER, five-or six-speed. When it comes to RevTech with my test bike, it didn't usually go into gear right away when downshifting. Additionally, it impossible to get the transmission into neutral with the bike halted and the engine still running, even using my hand. The only manner in which I possibly could get into neutral aside from stopping the engine was when downshifting from second in the event when I'm rolling to a stop. And, no, it was not a clutch tuning; we tried that. The RevTech 5-speed ran okay at 70 in fifth, however the comfy maximum was 75, because the engine was revving at about 3,000 rpm at that velocity. The bike did not have a tach, so that's my best guess.
With regards to the exhaust, it sounded great, but it's certainly not EPA approved!
Next is the body, the Apollo's Kraft Tech framework geometry is actually appropriate on as well as the motorbike handles very well. The truth is, it's easy to maneuver at either road and parking zone rates of speed. The turning radius is minimal but sufficient. The front seems lightweight, but not too light, and is slightly springy on big bumps, unsurprisingly with a springer. With a 29" inseam, my legs were about 1" short to contact the forward control's footpegs fully, however I still didn't have any issue keeping my feet on the pegs or working any foot controls.
Although we're on the subject of my quick talks, the test bike is low to the ground, so simply being securely footed on the ground when stopping never was a huge concern. On the other hand, the leather-covered seat does start gruelling your behind at about 100 or so miles. This is surely a blast-around-town seat.
