To suddenly take that foundation and go at it with as many sharp edges as possible is what I think makes this look like a confused design. I wish they developed the upgrade whilst extrapolating from the initial approach.(see attatched jpeg)

    Also being a bit dated doesn't mean that the design/style of the bike is in anyway bad or needs upgrading e.g. the Shogun may look a bit dated but still holds its own against the current crop of bikes by looking light and nimble.(that may be a biased opinion)

    That's one neat design theme!!

    Are u not glad to see me too?

    I reserve my comment until i see the bike! But i love the LED Pilot lamps

    My RTR has done 78-79k kms now. Monthly run has reduced from 2.5-3.5k to just 0.6k - 1k kms in the past 6 months. Returning good mileage (around 55). Only rust issue i faced so fare is with the Silencer which was replace U/W!

    @satyen

    Why buy the new one? I guess ur RTR is all souped up to kick ass's of 200CC + bikes! And thats lot of run on the Ninja!

    The Impulse is Superb at places and boring in some, the RTR is like the old love that you keep going back to! So unless something radical happens I could go back to cheap thrills, which is BEST done by a RTR!

    Impulse with the engine I presume.

    All said,yes, the RTR makes sense but with cheap spares,brilliant engine and chassis and features. But the new one just kills a whole lot of it for me. Im sure it's a much improved version, nice little worthy upgrades which I actually like but with a whole lot of unwanted bulky plastic and carbon-fibre look alikes everywhere.

    Nothing more than an exterior touch. The Apache fans might be disappointed with the new looks. The new looks aren't as aggressive as the current one. TVS needs to play the game better.
