    If only they launch a 200+ cc Apache with ABS as std feature! That will bring about awareness about the benefits of ABS on motorcycles.

            Good Move

            If I remember it correctly, TVS was the first Indian company to have introduced a digital console on a bike in India. That was the Apache.

            Now they've done it again by beating all others by introducing the ABS. Of course Honda CBR will be launched with an ABS option but these 2 bikes are not comparable.

            This is an excellent move by TVS.

            I expect ABS to become a norm in the years to come just like the digital console has become !!

            Kudos TVS!!

              Nope,

              Actually the honours go to the Karizma (2003) to have introduced a Digital Display (Odometer, tripmeter, fuel guage, digital clock) and the Pulsar 150/180 UG III (2006) to include a proper digital speedometer.

              The Apache got it in its RTR avatar only in 2007.

                      Oh yes of course...how could I forget the legendary Karizma !!

                      But I think we can give the credit for ABS to TVS ...
