The original news was given by manan, who said it would be a 160.Originally posted by badbikerboy View PostIt "might" be the 200+cc RTR frm TVS...
In that interview amidst "No comments" and "Press release"
, thats giving me a slight hint of a bigger bike...
e.g.
(1) "No comments" on the code name of RTR 160 Hyper edge...(it might just be RTR HYPER EDGE)
(2)No phasing out of RTR 160...(That means 160 and 160Fi will stay, and if they really care for "Performance Enthusiasts"
, they wont introduce another 160cc bike
)
(3)Not a "single" hint on price,specs etc...(well if they did that, than our "most frequent upgrader" BAJAJ
might introduce its Pulsar220-H, (Hyper Edge)
next week)
I think it would be a RTR 160 with extra technology - maybe 3/4 valve head or ABS?
Earlier, there was some genuine news about a company (don't remember the name) which made a prototype ABS setup, specially for future TVS Street bikes.
Also, RTR Fi sold lesser, mostly due to higher cost. Maybe a 4 valve head can increase both performance & mileage of their RTR just like Fi, with much lesser cost?
We all know what Bajaj did to P135. Makes sense to me.---

Like i said elsewhere, they dont want to dilute the brand running after the sales figures of Pulsars.They simply dont care. They do keep a modest target and they achieve it quite easily.Post RTR-180 launch the figures have climbed upwards of 15k per month.In the month of June, they sold 18k. Now that's Yamaha's total bike sales per month in India.Originally posted by payeng View Post
Hmm.. excusivity sells actually.
Focus on performance is definitely welcome.
But even a plastic fairing, FAT tyres, does the trick for many.

TVS Motor: will it sustain investor fancy? | Mint MoneyOriginally posted by payeng View Post
Link to the news source (RTR sales)?
They have never claimed to beat the Pulsars in sales numbers. Or else we could have seen dozen of upgrades of the RTR series every 6 months.So far only RTR-Refresh was launched after the RTR-160 launch way back in May'07. Only 1 (cosmetic) upgrade in the whole 3 years.
So the Hyper-Edge will most probably be the answer to fill in that void as competition has inched closer to the RTR 160 in terms of performance.Last edited by chicane1879; 07-23-2010, 12:11 PM.

Why the Buzz so low??
Why the Buzz about the RTR "Hyper Edge" so low??
>> I mean, even after the sort of confirmation about the new RTR, the discussion about it is still comparitively low in xBhp.
>> Also none of the usual copy+paste blogs/sites have lifted the info about the RTR "Hyper Edge" from xBhp and posted it on their blogs/sites.
Is it because they hate to provide the credits/links to xBhp?
