Luckily, I guess the boffins at TVS also felt the same. And just like racing, where the pursuit of improvement is constant, the 2020 Apache RR 310 has improved. And how. To see how good it’s become, I headed to the Madras Motorsport Race Track near Chennai. Frankly, I wasn’t expecting much of a difference, the previous-generation RR 310 firmly lodged in my memories. But all of that changed as soon as I was out on track, my knees tucked tight into the 11-litre fuel tank, helmet’s chinbar resting on top of it, hitting upwards of 150 kph on the main straight. The tyres gripped hard, too, allowing my knee slider to scrape itself all the way around the big-D corner at the back end of the circuit, and that too without any real effort. It was nothing like the RR310 I’d previously known.
