Just saw a rtr 160 green and black, except for that XXL sized tank extension it looked better overall. Even with a big rider it didn't seem that small. If tvs could do something about the tank extensions this bike looks way better than old ones IMO.

TVS Apache 200 RTR 4v (2019-Forever) -
After watching the marketing video it seems TVS are taking a leaf out of Mahindra's XUV design philosophy!
According to me, from the pics, the tail should have been shortened if they wanted to design a bike without compromise. It's too long for the wheelbase of the bike and detracts from the weight forward stance making the bike look confused. Function of pillion space screwing up the design proportions. tank shrouds do seem a bit overdosed from the pictures but will save my opinion towards them for an in-flesh look. Plus if the marketing literature is right, a 10 degree reduction in engine heat is commendable. Side profile obviously gives out the most prominent of visible flaws: Headlamp unit placed too high. Again there could be reasons for this. Waiting to see this on the road then.10 Commandments:

4)Love thy bike as thy self.
5)Always wear safety gear.
6)Alcohol is a strict NO!
7)Thou may lust after thy neighbour's bike specially if its of the R1 kind!
8)Thou shalt ride with 'ultra-most' care and caution when on Indian roads.
9)Thou shalt never leave the engine running at long traffic halts.
10)Thou shalt follow all of the above.Comment

TVS Velocity looked good,atleast they would have released it in the label of RTR series..Comment

You know, i wouldve seriously considered this as an "upgrade" if at the very minimum this bike did feature a monoshock rear suspension. Not a redesigned running light and graphic work here n there.
Perhaps if they could focus on "sticking it to the ground" with the suspension setup, instead of "flying in the wind" with the "Aerodynamics" crap, i wouldve been more interested.Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.Comment

you are right!they havent done any tweaks in performance nor handling...and i strongly think the so called "AERODYNAMICS" is a marketing strategy!Originally posted by Nithesh View PostComment

Saw one today...green black combo... The pitols are bloody awesum but headlight is too high...the tank shrouds ar just ugly, rear seat is so low....cheap looking graphics.... The most disappointing facts are the tires... Why the hell cant this company provide decent tyres...nonsense... Design is all wrong. Messed up bike. Modified tvs flame...

Leave all of the new visual 'Improvements' aside, have they done something about those vibes?Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow!

I am NOT spending my hard earned money on this! will just have to wait to get the second Apache in the garage... was eagerly waiting for this only to be bitterly disappointed. They should definitely have done something for better power or handling....Comment
