Looking for a good time? Then this modest attitude bike may very well be the perfect bike for you! Selling for about 19 gran as you can see it, the Apollo is known as a nice-handling, reliable bike that won't break your pocket.
Let's begin with my favorite piece of a motorcycle, the powertrain. An 88" RevTech engine (three year warranty) moved my test drive Apollo down the road without difficulty, considering that the cycle is actually lightweight. Other engine options comprise of various S&S Cycle and TP Engineering selections, plus a Crazy Horse Bottlecap 100" engine. This RevTech was installed with a Mikuni carb that worked well. The motor fired on first spin when hot, two spins when cold with only one primer twist of throttle. The bike got me 72 miles on the streets on 2.4 gallons of petrol, which is after I switch reserve on the 2.5-gallon tank.
My bike was installed with a RevTech five-speed tranny (five-year warranty). Tranny alternatives are either a BAKER or JIMS, five-or six-speed. When it comes to RevTech with my test bike, it didn't normally go into gear right away when downshifting. It was unattainable to get the transmission into neutral with the bike stopped and the engine running, even using my hand. The only manner in which I was able to get into neutral other than halting the engine was when downshifting from second in the event when I'm rolling to a stop. And, no, it was not a clutch adjustment; we tried that. The RevTech five-speed cruised okay at 70 in fifth gear, nevertheless the comfy maximum was 75, given that the motor was revving at about 3,000 rpm at that velocity. The motorcycle didn't have a tach, so that's my best guess.
When it comes to exhaust, it sounded great, but it is most certainly not EPA permitted!
Next is the frame, the motorcycle's body geometry is right on and the bike handles properly. The truth is, it's not hard to maneuver at either road and parking lot speeds. The turning radius is small but enough. The front-end feels light, but not too light, and is a bit bouncy on big bumps, understandably with a springer. With a 29" inseam, my thighs and leg were about 1" short to contact the forward control's footpegs fully, nevertheless I still didn't have problem having my feet on the pegs or working any of the foot controls.
Even though we are on the subject of my short talks, the Apollo is low to the floor, so simply being flat-footed at stops was not ever a worry. On the other hand, the leather-covered seat does start gruelling your behind after 100 miles. This is surely a blast-around-town saddle.
