    TVS plans �big� gearless scooter

    The south India based auto majorThe general view is that since the market for sub-100cc models in India is contracting, it makes sense for bike-makers to move to a higher capacity bracket in the scooter segment.

      That's a good news but I wonder what the focus would be. I mean, Would it be male focussed like Aviator, or female focussed like Scooty itself?

      From what I have seen, I think it should be male focussed. TVS already has Scooty for females, and moreover Males are capable of paying more for this Premium Scooter ...

        Nice....! but how BIG is BIG?
        I mean they would obviously be below the 160CC mill of RTR... atbest a detuned 160CC Mill from RTR! Now that would be fun to ride...

        Practically I think they would end up using the SR125 mill on the moped and be happy....!

          It will be positioned in 100-125cc segment to take on Activa/Access. BTW, I heard RTR160 is not available for sales ? This decision to make RTR180 sell more.....is it true ? However RTR Fi is available (TVS Motors website says RTR160 is now export model along with Apache 150).

            Ok in three months you say, then there should be tested prototypes going on on-road tests(atleast 6 of them if i know TVS right) now and in about a month we should see them with the dealers for review. If its supposed to come in 3 months. I have not heard any sneek peak on such vehicles so i guess there is nothing for another 6 months.

            I guess the Big scooter will based on their old Spectra except that it will not be geared and might be a bit smaller. So a 125-150cc can be expected, any thing bigger means TVS is getting overly optimistic as even Blaze has very little buyers. Also for a scooter it needs to have strong Low end torque so even a 150cc will not keep up with the RTR on road and will not share the engine.

            I guess it will be the old fiero mill with new technology stuffs or the Flame mill.

            All i wish is that they carry the same scooty like gearbox and a much bigger under seat storage(a bigger engine of course) and let it be super smooth(vibration free). That should make it one of the best city commute with storage.

              So Yes......It might be an 125cc Mill.......
              As thier 125cc Bike is not generating Bigger sales for them.....
              An 125cc Scooter may be the next target......and why not the Flames enigine can also be used with more modifications.....

                    ^^^ Good this should be a 125cc gearless scoot to come from south indian manufacturer,can we expect a disc brake on it

                            Guys, Hold on..This is not going to be a 125cc or a 160cc engine.This has to be the same 110cc Victor Block which TVS has been testing from a long time.Or if they have really changed their plans then it has to be a detuned 100-110cc version of the Flame Block.Dont expect the RTR engine to make it to the scooter!!

                            The very meaning of 'smoothness' which people associate with 4S scooters will be 'killed'!!
