    Well... i'm also hoping that TVS should tie-up again with Suzuki. I beleave that a "legend should compete with another legend". we already have a legend ruling the 250cc segment... Yes i'm talking about Kawasaki Ninja. Suzuki is the only company that can match up with Kawasaki in terms of style and performance. Moreover TVS should compete in the 200cc segment all by its own because i beleave that wen apache RTR 180 is able to compete with Pulsar 200cc in terms of performance, Apache RTR 200cc should do just fine. TVS should go for a Tie-up only in the 250cc segment. And that too with Suzuki. Lets keep our finger crossed and hope for the good.

      1) It should NOT be 200... from 180 to 220 make more sense, else phase the 160!
      Better Make it 200 Carb and 220 FI :P
      Make that a DC setup
      I dont care if it has a monoshock or not, full fairing or not!
      I totally accept with u buddy... TVS should come up with a DC setup. Lets keep our fingers crossed...

        is this the indication of taurus 250 cc launch

        is tvs pointing towards the much awaited taurus 250 cc launch as the bike was displayed in some of the auto expos and the bike looks good in snaps and can be a competitor for karizma and pulsar range as i have heard its a 30bhp bike.

          The RTR 220 will literally kill the pulsar 220 i.e. if at all it comes.....Waiting for the expo
          A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

              here is ma dream for an apache rtr 200 the decals to be a bit more sporty
              the design should be a same but a bit bigger and taller than rtr160
              and bigger tyres like that of fz and cool colors like fzs and fazer
              digital speedo with white lights and hd lamps split seats like that of a 220 and a bigger silencer like a p200 and ofcourse a louder beat than the old apaches love their beat and also liquid cooled engine so that should look like a sport bike and a absolute performer and it should perform like hell too

                  Yeah I was also surprised.

                  BTW Satyen, any update on RTR 2xx?
                  Also where is your MOD RTR and its pics?

                    A friend of mine who races for TVS Racing had no clue of RTR 2XX last December when I enquired about!!

                    However, they have RTR 250 fx engines which can be de-tuned for streets! Forget RTR 250, TVS Racing has RTR 400 fx also!

                    @Abishekkrishna...
                    Good luck!

                      now the problem will be that indian customers will also want power bigger tyres and great looks and they also exepect good mileage


                      and hope ma dreams come true then rtr 200 will take the indian market to next level and 250 will be a beast if launched and will also be price tagged near a ninja however cheers makky happy to think indian market is gonna upgrade and one more thing i wanna ask makky the 400cc engined and 250 cc engined rtrs have bigger bodies or same design cause it will be extremly difficult if its in the same design it cannot be controlled

                        what's the use of those engines for us if tvs is not launching them commercially

                          No way will TVS charge so much!! It will be easily below 1.5 lakh on road keeping in mind the RTR 180 which is 80k on road. Ninja costs a bomb because Bajaj is getting them in CKD form from elsewhere. However, Camille(Pondicherry xBhpian who is French) had told me that a Ninja costs more or less the same back there.
                          A 200+cc packed with 20+bhp RTR will set the streets on fire!

                          It is not just the launch, bro! There are lot many things that should happen in the company starting from manufacturing plant to SVC. Launching a bike is no easy task taken into account the demands of the Indian population! Add to it, the brand Apache RTR. There are huge number of people waiting for RTR 2XX. They know it very well. It is very clear they are not ready yet.
                          BTW, people who have booked RE Bullet back in Jan 2010 are still waiting!!


                          @Abishekkrishna...For your latest query..

                          RTR 250 and RTR 400 which I am talking about are in MX bikes(dirt bikes) which they use for National Supercross Championships! They have a different design altogether as you know.

                            a fresh 200cc or 200+ engine will be interesting...
                            Look out at the darkness, and you will see
                            Just call my name and I'll be there
                            You cannot touch me, you would not dare
                            I am the chill that's in the air
