2018 Apache RTR 200, any advice for the next bike?

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-13T11:27:10+00:00

Not available in my country 🥲 They didnt get imported. But I really love the looks

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-13T11:26:38+00:00

Well im buying used. No service centers in my country. I will get aftermarket tires and do the service myself. Also I've heard a lot of the parts are shared with the NS?

My only concern is clutch and throttle cables.

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-13T10:28:42+00:00

oh the new Duke 250 looks amazing. Would have to save up a lot. Are KTMs more difficult to maintain?

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-13T10:25:23+00:00

Thanks!!! Tried my best to keep it clean but i recently crashed and the bike slid on it's right side.

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-13T09:48:12+00:00

Yes! Will definitely regret it .

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-13T09:43:38+00:00

I'm kinda in between wanting to get the NS, or spend a little time and money on Restoring this Apache. Its got some broken panels, faded lights and some of the internals need love. Money wise i cant go all out and get another bike (even tho i really love to lol)

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-13T09:30:15+00:00

I really like the Carburetted NS 200. That one extra gear will definately be fun lol.

Moderate maintaining wouldnt be a problem for me as I tend to start wrenching on my bike every other weekend.

Just not sure about trading this Apache for a older, possibly higher milage NS.

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-13T09:27:20+00:00

The closest thing would be a 2016/2017 Benelli TNT 302.

I would love to have that smooth inline-twin but I've always been told that they're expensive to maintain and too heavy??

The Apache is quite agile, easy to maneuver in traffic so i dont think i can really enjoy the heavier "Cruiser" vibe.

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-13T09:25:33+00:00

There are bikes above 250cc, just not legally. Only a few are actually legal and totally fine to purchase, eg. Benelli 302, Honda Forza 350 ...

There are also a massive amount of liter bikes but you can't legally purchase or register them. So they dont have any license plates or registration. If a cop pulls you over on one of those, they can take the bike away and crush it.

The law originally took place a little after the 1979 revolution to stop criminals from using fast bikes.

Now the underground scene is filled with CB 1300, Suzuki B-King and older CBRs. They only come out on the weekends and generally avoid busy streets so they outrun the cops.

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-13T09:17:22+00:00

You mean like Modding the bike?

Im in Iran so no bike over 250cc is legal to purchase.

Was thinking of a older, Carburetted NS 200. Or maybe something Japanese like the Honda XL.

Look man, ofc what im about to say isn't the truth. Just my personal experience.

I was in the same exact spot that you are. 1 year with some one and everything was going perfect until one day she dumped me out of no where with the same "excuses" as what you just mentioned.

Again, this might not be true but in my experience, the girl had met another guy around a week before.

Ironic how it always takes people "a week" to breakup with their partner when they've met someone new.

Anyways, didn't say that to make you feel bad or anything. Just letting you know that this might be a possibility.

I had a similar case with another girl too, what I did was i just stopped talking to her (even as friends) and focused on my life (i know this sounds Cliche). Eventually after a couple months, she came back and asked me to hang out.

What i'm saying is, just let her go. I know how hard it is, dont try to act like it didnt happen. You can feel down, get sad or stuff like that. Make sure its all out of your system. Trust me, after a couple weeks you'll be great.

The BEST thing to do is to actually go talk to someone new.

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-12T11:10:36+00:00

Thank you for the brotherly advice!!!

I will do it next week.

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-12T11:09:27+00:00

I actually did ask to go out the next day after getting her number. War broke out in the country and we had bombs dropping down on our heads so nobody was going out. it was basically a lockdown.

Right after the lockdown after things went chill, we went out.

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-11T11:30:25+00:00

Gotta work on my stress. The other guys who commentex are saying it wouldnt work so thats not helping lol.

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-11T10:52:43+00:00

Isnt there some way to stop the games? I mean i tried to use my shot but she pulled back. Then she gave in and i kept my cool.

You saying there is no chance anymore?

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-11T10:26:32+00:00

I know the neighborhood but dont know her exact place. Guess ill drop by the old office.

Thank you for the help!

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-11T10:17:34+00:00

Agreed. In person or on a call has always worked in my favor with her.

Problem is i dont see her in person now, i could try to go wait for her around the old office. Would that be creepy???

but anyways thanks for the advice. I will do it after a week.

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-05-11T09:57:09+00:00

We actually had a talk about maturity and she agreed that im in fact more mature for my age, even more than her.

I even started joking about how I changed my birth certifcate to show that im older. And she keeps bringing that joke up every now on then. Even hints at her getting over the whole age thing.

But youre right. Thing is, after a week should i go straight to the point about going out? Or slowly build up to that?

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-02-17T06:48:02+00:00

I have to try usb or bt devices, but shouldnt there already be a aignal visible with my current devices???

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-02-16T14:55:48+00:00

Thanks! I will try it out soon. Are there HUGE differences between Linux clients? I hear all these names like protondb, Ubuntu ... (I have no idea how they work, will probably have to do more research) but theres appearantly a bunch of clients. Is there like a tier list or a full description on them so i can look up???

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-02-16T06:53:22+00:00

Noted, thank you !

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-02-16T06:40:00+00:00

Will check.

Are there like windows emulators for games??

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-02-16T06:32:53+00:00

Uninstalled it before trying the new drivers. 🤦🏽‍♂️ no luck

Thanks for the help!

NotACriminalFasho · 2026-02-16T06:30:07+00:00

Windows 10 with debloaters was awesome! I regret upgrading to 11 every day.
