      If anything is around the corner, that means that that product had been planned years earlier.



      i know that and completely agree with you mate but why weren't TVS onto building a new motorcycle for such a long time. They have a better mentality and don't fool people by calling 'cooled oil' oil cooled. TVS Apache is one hell of a bike and it deserves a proper upgrade. Im just saying that this upgrade should have been planned in a much much better way. Im about to buy a bike and sadly the new apache wont be on my list......i SO wanted it to be. :/

        Guys, its a disappointment. I dont think the power will go up its just a cosmetic upgrade and according to me the new bike looks a wannabe/original apache on steroids.

        I'm heavily dissapointed with TVS(one of my favorite brands).
        It seems that White LED pilot lamps are coming in new apache...second in Indian biking after Mahindra Stallio....

          Which company is fooling like that?
          Cooled oil is not called 'oil hot' anyway.
          on-topic- TVS just disappointed everyone..
          Ride, ride and ride.. But always do it responsibly..

            Disappointing, yes, but I'd be glad with some design changes to the Apache - which really needed an uplift. I am actually glad that the engine is not any different and that gives me some solace. I really love the roar of the RTR.

            • Reponse from TVS on their Apache RTR Fanpage. They must not have anticipated the backlash.

                yes thats the spirit...everybody is very much disappointed about tvs not launching a new pulsar 200ns type product and with that, no body is caring for what tvs has done.nobody is taking any effort in seeing the positive side of things and about taking every thing in that positive manner.just imagine,what if p200 ns was not launched at all then i think everyone of you would have had gone gaga over it appreciating the thing.My point is, please appreciate the effort that tvs has done in putting together this small revamp program for the apache and please give time for our upcoming indian companies like tvs and bajaj...

                    I really Hope what you say is true man!!! Or else it is a serious insult to the RTR riders. All these months of hibernation only to have come out like a wimp is not what is expected from TVS....C'mon TVS ,you are perhaps the only indegenious Bike manufacturer who understood what bare ass riders wantd.Pls dont let the Apache clan down now.

                      Bro such small revamps should not happen after such long hibernations....This is what HH had done with the karizma....Honda with uni...TVS was not amngst the rest...atleast what set them apart were their REAL upgrades....this isnt an upgrade ; its a revamp...."New Beast, same bloodline"----- wrong ; its the same OLD beast, definitely a very good one though.The teaser was totally uncalled for and a very unTVSish gimmick.

                      • The best part of social networking , looks like the company got the feedback pretty fast and must have realised by now what it's customer expects from TVS. TVS must realise what the indian biking enthusiast associates TVS with great bikes like the Shogun and Fiero , which have cult following and can even now hold their own. The same was the case with Yamaha who lost track what the company stood for and what the Indian Biker expected.

                        Looks like in TVS's case "History does not repeats itself , fools repeat history" .

                        May be Apache may not muster up the number the econo cruisers do , but looking at Bajaj's strategy that premium bikes have higher returns, this should say something to TVS.

                        Peace!!

                            mmm...seeing the feedback. Seems more likely folks at TVS might be going "Gulp!" .
