Doesn't look much of a scoop... No pics or concrete details....
It's like me saying "SCOOP! Yamaha is bringing the new FZ (but I don't know how it looks like, when is it coming or if it is an upgrade)"I like 'em Naked
Blah Blah Blah!
Reason is not automatic. Those who choose not to recognise it, can't be conquered by it.

I checked this news out but didn't post it. I remember that someone from the staff told us that a revised Apache is on the cards, but not anytime soon.
So, I'm not sure of this news either. But if it happens, it would be great.
I believe that if you take a 220cc RTR from TVS, it should be able to leave its "immediate segment's Indian competition" behind in performance, handling, weight as well as price.
Because RTR's are known not to carry extra stuff like a heavy half fairing which doesn't even contribute much to aerodynamics like full fairing does.
No offense to any one manufacturer though.---

I really hope the RTR series from now on comes as a proper sports bike-with nice aerodynamics and fairing.It should compliment the engine!Smoke rubber,not tobacco.

Don't Honk UnnecessarilyComment

am sure TVS being a focussed company wont be doing refreshing again. get a 200 cc TVS, am sure it would be a great boost.Originally posted by rohanblade View Post
As of modifications, may i suggest, only to iron out the vibrations thing? thats what put me away from ur bikes.Ride safe..wear helmet.

It could be "Hyper Edge" treatment to the Apache RTR 180/180 ABS.

A mechanic here told me that people were complaining that they weren't getting enough bang for the buck (from the RTR180ABS that I currently own) and hence TVS will be rolling out this new facelifted variant within 2 months' time. There was also some speculation that it'll have a longer swingarm as compared to its older sibling.Originally posted by payeng View Post
Perhaps we'll get to hear more about this during the Delhi Auto eXpo 2012

Hope they include some styling from the concept they showcased.Originally posted by rohanblade View Post
if its a another hyperedge treatment then that sucks.
lol why should they have 220cc?Originally posted by Samarth 619 View Post
true the performance, handling, weight part but dont think RTRs are any cheaper than other bikes.
fairing half or full contributes to aerodynamics. no fairing contributes nothing. and have you tried lifting the fairing of a P220 or zma?
Regardless, Life shall go on.Comment

The "vibrations" of the Apache RTR is something which is blown out of proportion at xBhp.Originally posted by Jeanie View Post
I have never come across any normal guy/biker who rejects the Apache RTR becuase of it vibrations.
