No doubt, TVS is making progress ... We see TVS as a big player, maybe after Bajaj & Yamaha, but a challenger indeed ...

My "personal" opinion - I find TVS products better than HH & Honda ...

So, is that 2.5th Lac Apache or "Apache RTR" ..??

If TVS keeps on giving competitive products then some day for sure it will be a prefered brand. Apache has already eaten sales of Pulsar 150.

@Samarth

It's the total Apache+RTR sales!!

TVS will soon launch a 180cc bike along with Scooty Streak which means more numbers.After a rough patch in terms of sales ,things are slowly improving for TVS.Even the Flame has picked up in sales(still way off what TVS projected).A low cost 125cc bike is also in the lines to take on the Platina/XCD!!

@ chicane: Oh, total Apaches of all types sold ... Thanks for clearing ...

Recently, Apache RTR EFi defeated ZMA on Racetrack, in a test by Bike India (aug 08), by a small margin though...

Imagine what the 180cc version will do, it should be enough to defeat P220 on Racetrack ... coz even 160 was about 0.5 secs behind ZMA ... Cool!

@ news reaper: I guess some other OEM's should be mentioned too... I mean,

HH recorded an increase of 22.47%
HMSI (Honda) recorded an increase of 17%
