[Photo Feature]: TVS Victor in Africa - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

For some of you it won't be a new thing. But for rest, Did you know that TVS Victor is used a Taxi in Africa?

Not only TVS but other bikes from India are very popular among African countries. 2-wheelers as cabs are much in demand compared Auto Rickshaws!

Some pics from Kigali, Rwanada.

Nice find! I always wanted to start my own Taxi fleet on a SBK right here in India

Does TVS sells these bikes directly to them !!!!!!!

Dude, Rwanda is most under-developed nation in the world. I want TVS and Bajaj to export to Japan/UK/US

HMSI is exporting CBF stunner to UK as 'inter-city' commuter and sells at MRSP 1800 sterlings (~Rs.1.5lacs), that's good foreign exchange earner and good respect for 'made in india' tag in a competitive market of a developed country.

Well TVS sells in Iran,if that's any consolation.

You want a pic?

rossiter · 06-16-2009, 02:18 PM

Iran is actually quite better off than even us in many many ways. But that's another topic altogether

Here's a pic from my trip in 2006.

All said and done, who cares where they sell as long as they make the money they want to?
