      Unfortunately, it seems likely the Menace was hyped up only to get people all excited for the ARE. I hope thats not the case.

      • Whenever the Menace is launched, the price point would be very interesting to note..

        TVS certainly wouldn't want the Menace to eat into the sales of its RTR.

          so can we infer from this that the Menace will looking different from the RTR ?

          • The RTR180 will be priced just a bit over the RTR FI and the FZ.

                The sales of the RTR Fi might take a hit in that case.

                I also don't think that a separate brand would be created for the 180 cc Menace. Building a completely new brand would mean an aggressive media planning for at least a year and investment running into crores.

                If its launched, it would most probably be launched under the already established Apache Brand. Maybe as Apache 180 or Apache "Menace" 180. I also see sharing of platform and common parts between the RTR 160 and Menace 180.. to cut down on production costs.

                P150/180, P200/220 revisited..??

                • @payeng: even i am pretty sure that it will be called apache only and menace is more of a code name rather than anything else and there is very slight chances of it making to the final product name.

                  • Payeng- I know for sure that it will have same looks of thr RTR. What I am asking is what would be the differentiator. There surely will be some even the 160 Fi & carb have.

                    • Menace is only the project name and not the name of the bike. Hope thats clear. There is no new product name or stuff and no new product introduction needed.
                      Its the TVS Apache RTR 180. No menance, no mess.

                        That makes it clear then! It is only the performance that would change and not the looks. I was hoping they change the looks too
