BTW when i had a chance to visit TVS factory at hosur last year as part of an industrial visit, i happened to see a motocross type monstrous tvs bike with an oversquare 250cc engine like in RTRs. They could atleast detune that to street spec and launch it with a fresh chassis and body panels competent, not same as taurus, but enough to stand up with all other 250 s in the market!

It was 2004 Auto Expo. The specs read: 250cc VTi engine.

In 2006 Auto Expo TVS showcased Predator, a 500cc cruiser too!!

I think TVS is following Suzuki's footsteps here. Both of 'em want to get hold of the smaller segment first.

How I wished that something like the F3 comes alive........Phew!

May be TVS thought that its not right time back then.But market has grown enough to accept these bikes.
To my utter amazement i saw four exhaust pipes on the pic 2nd link shown.that's really good looking bike except front was looking like a cruiser and remaining like naked sports.TVS has really good concept models.It's high time they realize.
@ajaydhanshu
every company wants a strong hold in commuter segment.After all it's where the money is.

Yes Ultiracer! I understand that.

I hope they bring out something like the F3 in mid segment!
