if i go by your words, then TVS gonna have a winner in their stable though we still don't know how true is this & how much time it'll take. -
If they actually pull it off and do get inspired by the list mentioned here , within a year at most . That would really be a quarter litre to look forward to .Originally posted by sai_ace View Post

Don't know if this is the right thread. But a very accurate source has indicated that TVS is developing a brand new 200~250cc apache. very very early stages though.
How do i know this? - Well they are currently developing an all new aluminium swingarm possibly with a monoshock. Why aluminium? for lesser flex and weight while cornering.
And what are the reference bikes? - CBR 250, KTM duke and the venerable R15v2.0.
All this says that the current facelift was to buy them some time.
cheers!Leave a comment:

they had worked on it, reduced it, but sacrified on acceleration and lost the 'RTR'ness (that's what i felt while test riding a new 160). btw, i got the prev.hyperedge yesterday..Originally posted by satyenpoojary View PostLeave a comment:

Been There Done That! Test ride rtr 160 today. I do feel some internal changes happened in the engine. I can say that it is not good old rtr anymore(only the name rtr)Originally posted by harishkumarko View Post
People if you are going to buy only for that led strip on head lamp GO AHEAD!
You guys will like the led strip when it gets darker.
Ps: It's not that scarily fast

in Delhi I've seen couple of guys test driving it near by my place so i guess in Chennai too you should be able to book a TD of new RTR..Originally posted by harishkumarko View PostLeave a comment:

+1 to that. I was totally awestruck when I saw the bike in flesh(the original apache). It stood apart in terms of looks. I've heard about the engine being good too. Never ridden one. The RTR had the right character for its name(Apache).Originally posted by julianpaul View Post
BTW is TVS giving the new bike test ride in chennai?Leave a comment:

Except with the original apache, among all the pulsars and then with the rtr which was nothing short of breathtaking.Originally posted by harishkumarko View PostLeave a comment:

Exactly the reason I'm saying they are afraid even now. TVS always waits for the balls to juggle. Only after things have settled they bring in their new thing. They play safe.Originally posted by payeng View PostLeave a comment:

^^nicely written,
i was once a proud owner of a fiero and while talking about performance ,the bike was way ahead of its competition. it was missing nothing but only a fifth gear.
even first gen pulsars(esp 150) were no match for them.Leave a comment:

I agree. It was the conservative and safe attitude of TVS due to which the Fiero couldn't fire the imagination and the sales charts. Ultimately it had to be put down. Pity the engine and gearbox which was ultra smooth.Originally posted by julianpaul View Post

LOL.Originally posted by payeng View PostI am trying to support the RTR lovers here
The F2 etc. was too little, too late. And even with a disc, still didn't solve the handling issues. I still remember the fiero giving the cbz a run for its money even with that 4-speed box. Just think what it would have been with a disc, 5-speeder and a proper chassis. It would have been a bigger revolution than the cbz and would have held it's ground even against the first pulsars pretty well.Originally posted by payeng View PostLeave a comment:
