I was about to post the pics from fb here but they are already here. The pilot lamps do seem to be from the same Bike pic we saw earlier(on Apache's fb page). we were expecting more but TVS seems to be going HMC with cosmetic upgrades. what were they thinking?

TVS engineers/management should be given mentos.'Dimag ki batti jalao'

TVS has killed the brand, this is just going the Karizma way.
On the other hand I feel this is a stop gap arrangement, just coz at present they dont have an answer to the P200NS, I believe they must have planned for a 10 or 20cc upgrade
, but after looking at the P200NS they have realized 10, 20cc isnt going to work out, they will also have to improve the entire package, probably they have gone back to the drawing board, which will definitely take more time, but anyways I dont have any hopes from this company, anyone holding shares of this company sell them off, this isnt going to get above the 50 RS mark.

+1 on that i also felt it...but now after seeing the pics in facebook the only two things i hate about the new apache are -1. apache logo in pulsar and hunk (though more like what on pulsar) fashioned...in the same similar chrome plated 3d look...(why do tvs resort to copy every thing that pulsars do...why can't they do some thing unique for the apache and stop diluting the brand value and image of the apache brand...) 2. the meter console and the new clip on cover design...nothing close to the old designs in ters of more finise n coolness and finally the stickering jobs....terrible..Originally posted by saipranav View Post

game-over- before it even begins!!
A few bits look good: the new switch gear,new silver Apache logo, headlight.
The model shows ABS-sticker, so we are going to get the ABS version in all colors from now on! (also note, the ABS ON/OFF switch is placed now on the handle *cool*
The centre stickering design on 180 variant is changed from the cool arrows to a 'new' bad design!
Engine cover is now 'shiny' silver!
But, come on, TVS, the carbon fiber thingie is UGLY!
The teaser stuff rom TVS bought hope that now turns to more anger and sadness. Only thing achieved is changing a few profile pics and signature lines of fellow xBhpians like Sayank
Posting the shots from the FB source here:
*Hopes shattered*
Only relief is that existing owners can pick up the good bits and put them on their ride! BTW, what's the cost of new headlight assy, TVS?

really its disappointing..its like mod from a local mech.....i think the designers and the management honchos of TVS never driven a bike....otherwise they would have known what a biker wants....Originally posted by BladeBoy View PostFound that in the internet!
Quite disappointing!

Don't know if any one else had noticed this but the scoops in the sketch resemble velocity. And the head.light is also somewhat. Like velocity. + pilot lamps.....Leave a comment:

wow this looks killer...i don't know...(if i am the only one feeling this...most probably it might be the case....)though i feel there seem to be minor indications of design line similar like the ones on star series of commuter bikes.but nonetheless a killer...Originally posted by rohanblade View Postanother teaser pic or more sort of a sketch....and that comfirms that its not a full faired bike
and you can see a batman look alike comparo

Hunk like shrouds and those cheapo looking fake carbon fibre looks disappointing.Originally posted by BladeBoy View Post
SO its now confirmed that its just a cosmetic upgrade.
As per the poster, it is 19PS which i highly doubt.Leave a comment:
