Hi, to answer your question we have to learn a little basics about the science of vibrations-
So, here we go-
Every body in the universe has a natural frequency of vibration. Natural frequency is the frequency at which a body can vibrate freely.
Now in the running engine, piston is moving to and fro in the cylinder, which in a way is providing a vibrating force. Now in the case of Apache this vibrating force matches with the bikes natural frequency in between 4000 & 6000 RPM.
Therefore the bike starts vibrating freely, but when the RPM falls below 4000 or rises above 6000 it doesn’t matches with the bikes natural frequency, so the vibrations disappear. The bike vibrate in any great when the frequency is matched. In the fifth gear the corresponding speed is 50-80 km per hour. The vibrations can be smoothened up while designing the engine by adding balancing weights and a balancer shaft in the engine, but it increases the friction and weight, there by reducing the throttle response and economy, therefore TVS engineers have not included them, the result is superb performance and good fuel economy (my Apache RTR 180 returns mileage of 55 to 60kmpl, trust me).
The remedy –
As wear resistant additive in the engine oil occasionally and stay out of 4000-6000 RPM.
And enjoy the smooth ride.

First of all you have to remember that Apache is manufactured by TVS. My familiarity with TVS started when I got TVS Victor as my first bike. As I was constantly experimenting with the bike to extract more and more mileage the mileage started going up till it reached a maximum of 94km power litre.
I have applied the same findings with my father's splendour but could reach only 65kmpl.
Then with my advice my brother bought TVS Star City plus. My brother is getting 70kmpl.
And then my father sold his splendour and started using my, I mean TVS Victor.
So let's come to your question-
Then I bought Apache RTR 180. And it is returning me mileage of 50 to 60kmpl. 60kmpl when I drive calmly at 40 to 60km per hour, and comes down to 50 when I am full on throttle driving at speed in excess of 110km per hour. And in between when depending on the aggressiveness of my driving. So you can guess about the mileage about Apache 160.

The TVS Apache RTR 160 is the best bike among all the option considered above. It comes with a 159.7 cc engine producing 15.2 BHP @ 8,500 rpm and 13.1 NM @ 4,000 rpm. The advantage of full torque at lower rpm makes the bike a fun to ride machine as it effortlessly runs on highways and mountain drives. It comes with a 5-speed gearbox and gets optional double disc model also. The beast eye DRL's are exclusive to the Apache series and looks the best when compared with all the other segment bikes. It comes within a range of INR 72,344-74,344 and gets the most aggressive performance and running dynamics among all.

The TVS Star City Plus is an excellent motorcycle as it can be called as a perfect match of economy, style and durability. The bike comes with a bigger engine when compared to Discover 4G, which is a 109.7 cc, air cooled motor producing 8.3 BHP and 8.7 NM of torque. On the other hand, the Bajaj gets only 94.38 cc engine, producing 7.5 BHP and 7.85 NM of torque. The TVS Star City is light and returns the same mileage as the smaller engined Discover returns. By considering the ride quality, the TVS Star is a better option as it provides a much smoother ride experience. Not only this, TVS gets a price tag of INR 47000, making it INR 1000 less than its rival.

TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS would be a better option if you do not consider faired bikes to be better than other body types. It comes with the most practical approach in the Indian motorcycle industry, providing the most affordable double channel ABS on a motorcycle. Even the RS200 comes with single channel ABS only. It comes with a 177.4 cc engine producing 17.3 BHP @ 8500 rpm and 15.5 NM @ 6500 rpm. The gearbox is a 5-speed unit and the bike comes with a ground clearance of 165 mm. The best part comes to its weight, which comes out to be 139 kg only. The Pulsar RS200 gets a 165 kg of body weight. The RTR 180 ABS comes with a price tag of INR 87,112 whereas the lesser equipped Pulsar comes with a tag of INR 1,30,000. This makes the RTR 180 ABS a better ride over the RS200.

TVS Draken was a concept bike shown at the Auto Expo and would not make way into the Indian automobile market. The TVT Apache RTR 200, which is expected to be launched soon is said to be based upon the Draken concept, but with a smaller engine option. The Draken was seen with a 250 cc, short stroke, race inspired engine producing 38.5 BHP and 23 NM of torque from its liquid cooled and fuel injected motor. With its light 134 kg body, the bike would have been really fast on the roads and the same DNA will flow through the new Apache RTR 200. The Draken was seen with a 6-speed transmission, making way for a 6-speed unit for the upcoming Apache.

TVS Jive was discontinued because it had very less sale compared to the others in the segment. The bike was the first of its kind in India and used no clutch in changing gears. It sold a very few units and was not a popular product. The design of TVS Jive was also not what user's really wanted to have, making it more controversial on its technology as well as its looks. It uses the same engine being used in TVS Star City whereas the Sport uses a smaller unit as its engine. The semi-automatic technology eased city riding but never became too popular to the masses.

TVS has planned the launch of 3 new products by the end of this year, one of which for sure is the new TVS Apache RTR 200. The 220 and 250 are still considered rumors as TVS will make the 200 cc competitor for a better price tag. It is said to be influenced by the Draken concept and the this time, a bigger set of tyres could be finally seen on an Apache. The RTR 200 would definitely get the ABS option and the twin disc brake availability is also for sure. Things most expected from the bike includes a powerful and refined engine, most probably a liquid cooled and fuel injected unit. It will launch around the festive season.

Choose Unicorn for low maintenance, better and widespread service network and easy availability of parts. Choose Apache for sheer performance and looks. Unicorn comes with a 'combi-brakes' variant which helps as both brakes area applied together, whether you apply one or both. Also, in this variant both are disc brakes. Apache 160 too has a dual-disc version. A pity they have limited the ABS to 180 version because that would have made a huge difference. In terms of pickup, speed and cornering, Apache is miles ahead of the Unicorn which is a commuter at heart, albeit one that can be used as a tourer over relatively shorter distances. Honda is always stellar in terms of quality and electrical, even the switchgear is great and doesn't look tacky. One thing that goes against TVS is those shitty TVS tyres. If you change those to MRF or Ceat or Bridgestone, that makes for a fantastic bike.

The TVS Apache RTR ABS and Bajaj Pulsar 220F come with the same price tag, making them strict competitors with different specialties and preferences. The TVS Apache RTR should be preferred as it brings better safety and utility features than the Pulsar's bling performance scenario. RTR 180 comes with a 177.4 cc engine producing 17.03 BHP and 15.5 NM of torque. It also brings a relaxed driving position, with a lower seat height than the Pulsar. Twin-channel ABS brakes are included, which increase its responsiveness and safety in less-than-ideal driving situations. The bike comes with aggressive front DRLs and feels better to ride than the other competitor. The power feels more channelized and controllable than the Pulsar 220F.

The TVS Apache RTR 200 has been confirmed by the company and they have marked 2 other launches with it, before January 2016. A good news for TVS lovers, the RTR 200 would be the company's flagship model and would be the most powerful RTR till date. Expected to be hard on the competitors, it is expected with the Draken inspired short stroke and more powerful engine, producing approximately 21 BHP and 18 NM of torque. The design of the bike has no ideas till date as nothing has been spotted on the name of RTR series. The bike would surely be a good one as TVS is known for its good quality offerings. It is expected to be with optional ABS and disc brake for each wheel. The gearbox will be 6-speed and performance would not be compromised for sure.

You can better opt out for the new TVS Victor, relaunched recently with a 110 cc engine. The motorcycle is good for 9.46 BHP and 9.4 Nm of torque.
