The 2010 Bike Launch Speculation Thread

[Satyamzma]

Optional?!? They are an absolute must, how else can it be a HH?

But more seriously, I wouldn't bet on Honda bringing in the CB300R let alone them letting HH bring it in. Our best hope might be a 250cc from Honda itself, if at all.

Any other manufacturer should see this as a chance to impress some people. But we all know where the numbers are.

Actually being the market leader in sales, HH should go ahead and launch a 250 cc bike with all features of ZMR but with at least 24 bhp engine and price it around Rs 1 lakh.

I never saw that tank cover thing on it

[Aravind]

today i went to a tvs showroom to testdrive rtr180....after that i asked the salesguy about the tvs 2xx bike rumour..he said he had heard the showroom MD mention about the bike...he took me to the MD and enquired again..that fellow said its going to be a 200cc bike, however will take more than 3 - 5 mths to come...he also said the bike might not look very different although there will be some changes....i am both excited and disappointed...

[MACH50]

i am both excited and disappointed...

excited part.........looks different WOW
disappointed part.......only 200 !!!! what the hell.......where did the expected 50cc more go???

Sorry TVS no thanks for following Bajaj
Wonderful Aravind for sharing your mind

But let me add something to this.........a DOHC 200cc from TVS can smoke some 250 single easily and might be on par with Ninja.....rest I leave it to greatly expected speculations

Dont kill me--just speculating over what Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory goes on at TVS racing RD

Dont get excited.The MD meant it might not look very different!!

They already have a 185cc DOHC oil-cooled engine in one of their racing machines!!

TVS is trying to figure out which design to go for:An all out new design or carrying the Apache lineage.That's it.

[Aravind]

seeing how rtr180 performs its true their a 200c will definitely make up for that extra 20cc it lacks compared to the competition...also about the looks,though it will be good if its new, it wont be bad either if its in the same line as its siblings but definitely needs some substantial addition/makeover to differentiate it from the pack...tvs should not emulate bajaj in this aspect also.....

thats good...but i hope they figure out soon and dont make us wait long

[rennycornelius]

The new RTR 2?? may be 4 valves but boss it wont be a DOHC setup.
Dont expect a radically new design, it will borrow the tank,rears and the front fender from the current crop.

They may change the fairing though.

I know .....

I might not be an insider like you people,but I monitor TVS racing very closely.....since I love my Shogun way too much....

I bet TVS can easily be Indian Ducatis but they need to grow out of Bajaj strategy,something radical is better than lauching upgrades and cc bumps now and then.......
