    wasn't velocity concept a naked -streetfighter?
    and the question remains why do i race?
    every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

        3) expected to be launced by end of this calendar year
        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.

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

                  nah.. I don't think that there is a market in India for step thrus.

                  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..!!

                    • Autocar India had reported about revised RTR back in Nov 2011: SCOOP! TVS to launch revised Apache RTR - News - Autocar India

                      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.

                          Can you explain the bold part here?
                          No doubt Honda is leading in the sales figures but how can you be so sure for "RTR" sales, do you have any insider there?
                          By the way found this, just to let know that the rat race will always be there, someday one company would be leading, next day you might find the same company in a different position

                            i have been to tvs dealership 2 weeks ago,they said rtr sale is less these days,people are more interested in wego,scooty and star city.
                            rtr is there without a face-lift probably for 4 years.i don't want a sticker job like hyper-edge,i want the rtr to sell more than pulsar.

                            about honda overtaking tvs and falling short of overtaking bajaj,the figures are factory despatches figure,read somewhere inventories are piling up at dealership.

                              I have a good rapport with NCR SVCs, here they say that RTR sells more, so which one would you believe, sales also depends on areas, people , not saying that you are wrong even. Get the numbers, let them speak. Period
