Thread: TVS Motor Company unveils new 2012 TVS Apache Series

Not happy with look and comfort....They don't have changed much in new one except head...

The seat looks like total ripp off from TVS Jive ...and in all,the bike looks incomplete,and a bit commuterish...
But seriously loving the Headlight design.... will definitely change mine....

What it looks like is,its more functional than the previous model,with so many detailed changes alround.. but unfortunately,all of them together dont gel up well...
Wasted..

Damn! it looks so much like a sick ostrich earlier one was way better..... Huuurrrr!!! There was no need to change the looks IMO

Pillion seat is lowered a bit and extended as well.
Headlight assembly will be dear as speedo + stay(bracket) + RTR logo plate all have to be changed and not sure if it could run properly with AC, existing ABS bikes wouldnt have problem i guess. Lot of attention given to minor details(footpegs + switch) but its NOT RTR anymore !

This upgrade was a big let down from TVS ...
only some couple of changes in the headlight and some colour change does not justify the expectations of the buyers ...

Or may be we buyers expected more from a company from whom we should not

New Vs Classic (?)

Totally disappointed!
would prefer classic any day!

dis apache luks lyk an upgrade to flame,, n degrade to apache!!
recently i buy an apache, n now m happy dat i didn't wait for new model

The Green color is good....
only the color, not the bike.....

Disappointing.

I understand two kinds of improvements - better and/or cheaper - this is neither.

With Hero refusing to upgrade its Karisma and Bajaj only stealing from KTM, I was somehow hoping for TVS to do better.
