    What say?


    That would be quite easy for TVS to make, but they are not even giving a hint about something like that...

    The maximum i'm expecting these guys to do is to launch the velocity without any change to the engine...
    If they were planning for a higher cc bike or a liquid cooled bike, we would have had some spy pics...

    I'm guessing they would add something like a semi fairing(for ease of touring) to the current 180cc...

    I feel expecting these guys to launch a completely new bike before june2012 is a waste of time.

    Sure, why not 4 cylinders, 20 valves, dual exhausts??

    I dunno why TVS did not go for a fully blown 250 and blow away the competition, they just want to be followers and not the leaders
    Fully agreed about the last part!!

    The new offering would have also an option of ABS!!

    It wont be close, it would match it. Trust me on this!!

    Dude, that bike in that pic wont come into production, look at the apache and TVS font, its obviously a roadside mod... this has been discussed a few times on the forums...
    And if at all TVS launches a fully faired bike, they will think about practicality issues... dont worry.

    Alas after so many years in business they are still "about" to launch a 220cc Bike...

    TVS already makes and sells a "Liquid Cooled" 150 cc Step Thru model called the "Tormax 150" in Indonesia. Maybe we can expect a "Liquid Cooled" motorcycle for India as well.

    How come TVS not involving there trademark-ed roto pedal discs.... The vents looks so "local" (IMO), in total it gives me a hint of Gixxer

    This very upgrade would be cosmetic.

    The mystical 200cc+ bike is still under development. What's really interesting is that TVS is targeting a very high specific output from the engine. And yes it would be Liquid Cooled. Expect it by Q3-2012.
