    Bajaj M80 probably did some numbers years back, post that step thru model like the Hero Honda Street wasn't able to create much interest in the segment.
    Step thru for India (in 2012) = bad Idea

    "Liquid cooled" Step thru for India = Crazy Idea..!!
    a new product launch like tormax,which looks good too,may stir up intersts in youngsters mind.am i being dumb here?

    Is the delay the "200NS" effect?



    hmm,gotta be.it has hit there mind that merely a face-lift is not gonna boost up the sales of rtr,they are going down,honda has overtaken them,they need a complete re-engineering for their flagship model.

    They are doing it for the last 4 years now and as we say "Promises are meant to be broken"

    4) name should be either tvs apache velocity or just tvs velocity

    just passing the information what was told to me. So its upto readers to judge to what extent it can be relied on
    They are not to believed even 0.1percent. Trust me they actually don't have any news about what is happening. You wont even believe that some svc here didn't even know what was the difference in 180 RTR and 180 ABS RTR.

    TVS does have a 150 cc Liquid Cooled engine which powers a step thru model called "Tormax 150" in Indonesia..!! TVS is trying its level best to entice Indonesians buyers but still having a diffuclt time there with Yamaha and Honda (even Suzuki and Kawasaki have very less sales there) dominating the Indonesian 2 wheeler scene.

    Launching a liquid cooled engine in Indonesia and not India by TVS was/still is very puzzling to me.

    If the 150 cc liquid cooled, full faired bike from TVS is indeed true then it will directly be compared with the R15 and the CBR150R.. which would be a tough nut for TVS to crack.

    They only resort to technology consulting/certification with certain European agencies and that's it.

    Had they been active with developing with those agencies we would have already seen many a iterations of those machines.(TVS Victor was the first motorcycle which was certified by AVL, Austria for efficient engine performance in India, back in 2001).
    I agree, the collaborations were only for specific technologies only, in case of flame it was for the three valve head on the other hand Bajaj's tie up with KTM is a lot more. So there is a huge difference
