ok am not trying to fire a controversy by giving a wrong news through this post. but this is what i saw yesterday. i was riding along arcot road vadapalani here in chennai and i see this guy dressed in a black tvs jacket with FLAME written on its back, i go closer and find that he is riding a black apache rtr, i went near and saw the engine from the left hand side the head portion was completely different from the stock RTR, that is it had a blanked out portion near the top end which is not what it looks on a rtr160 but it was not a twin cam. i see the rear panels and it has no stickers qouting its cc. the place where it is usually written rtr160 or Fi etc. then the guy take's a Uturn at a junction before i can take a second look and speeds away. i came to the conclusion that its the 180cc bike being tested because, this is the same place i have seen the TVS "neo" underbone and flame 125 being ridden by tvs test person in a similar attire and taking a U turn at the same busy intersection. may be some ppl like joel joe and santoosh from bangalore can help.

May be a 4 valve head Flame. Never know what TVS has in store for us, but presumably it's a 180cc bike. Any idea about the size of the bike as in comparison to the RTR 160??

What say guys ??

[fast_ferocious]

Man, Kudos to yhour sense of Humor, but practically speaking, any news about those launches?? Because, who know's atleast 1 or 2 of those so called "13 launches" could be genuinely new performance bikes !! What say Any genuine news will be greatly appreciated.. Also, I dont think Bajaj will let itself slip further, Lets expect some gr8 surprises 4m them, shouldn't we ?

[Jonak]

I am expecting the same tail lamp section on all versions of the next pulsars. So its gonna be the same. The stunner will hold its own, it has awesome road presence, only if it had the power to back its looks ............
