10k rpm-peak power would be too much to ask for, IMO!!

And everything else is possible for TVS!!

By the way TVS is lacking in growth numbers to almost all players so they better launch something special
Bajaj Auto Posts 85.12% Growth In The Month Of March 2010
Yamaha registers 75% growth in March'10.
Suzuki Motorcycles India Pvt Ltd (SMIPL) has announced a 76 percent increase in sales for March 2010
TVS Motor Company posts 24 % growth in March 2010

For that they already have the Jive, Max4R, Wego and a new 125cc lined up!!

No need of a 200cc+ motorcycle which will cater to a niche/low-volume market!!

[chauhan_saurabh]

Ohh ... Yamaha is surviving, reviving and thriving on this relatively small 150+CC niche market -- even though here we are talking about very small numbers(17,892 units in March 2010 as compared to 14,575 units in the same month last year) . I never asked for 220+ ... anything new, good and exciting can turn tables for TVS. I really like TVS bikes and want them to do well against Japanese Trio and an Indo-Jap crossover financially too. So really hope that MAX4R, Jive, Wego and upcoming new 125CC will do this magic .. along with some/above speculated 150+/220+/250+ .... bike.

You bet.. anybody with an internet connection, some free time to kill and some half cooked idea about automobiles can become an auto blogger. Credibility..?? Who cares..!!

what about our India leader HH....... but other players more than 75%....... thats toooo coooool.......

[chauhan_saurabh]

TVS doesn't need to compete with HH or they can't beat HH in numbers

[rennycornelius]

Out of all these speculations TVS will end up in 220 and we'll have a line up, 160,180 and 220.

Thank god BAJAJ discontinued the 200 otherwise if it would have done real good in numbers then TVS would have focussed in launching RTR200 first then it would have launched the RTR220.

IF it goes in INDIA like this, bumping the CC's by 10,15,20 and creating new segments then we can imagine in how many years they will launch a home grown 600.

There was a news about a Honda 250 cc for India by Diwali 2010, as reported by DNA Newspaper..

I wonder why no other publication has reported about it.
