TVS Apache RTR 250 CC Launch Soon | Specs, Price, 30 bhp | Autoholiks

A lot of links for past 24 hours(in google) search.

Honda is going to introduce a new Unicorn (not the sporty Unicorn shown in AutoExpo) since April. Most probably minor changes. Confirmed by some Honda dealers.

My guess with the features are Viscous air filter and Maintenance-Free battery with some cooooool graphix.

[nitrosatya]

Very important thing.

New improved stickers for all Hero Honda bikes! And 10 new colors.

[HydBiker]

My Speculation:

Bajaj discontinue another model whthin an year... which one now? the P135? (unlikely though) and introduce another. May be the Disco 100 this time

HH does some worthless updates and eye-sore paint schemes

TVS launch another variant of their Star but no performance bike.

Honda launch an over priced Unicorn and only talk about how great their products are that common man cannot buy.

Yamaha launch another limited edition FZ in their effort to make hay while the sun shines.

With an expected launch in 2011 Auto Expo

There is no 2011 AE my friend, the next one will be in 2012!

Not a new one. Old one with a newer engine. That one has been doing the rounds for a while.

[dushyant]

just a new engine? hope they change its looks a bit!

[Ananz]

Not a new one. Old one with a newer engine. That one has been doing the rounds for a while.

It is just a matter of time when bajaj would replace the 200 CC engine of the avenger with the 220 CC engine. Since Pulsar 200 has been discontinued it would not be feasible for bajaj to produce 200cc engines just for the avenger with lesser sales figures.

ZMR Dhan Dhana Dhan edition With red alloys and red forks, impressing the girl next door was never this easy.

Some new colors for FZ, Fazer and R15. You want a violet R15? ur dream will soon come true.

RTR250 launch next month

RTR 250 launch next month

"Yes, we have got the details and specifications of the upcoming high performance Apache bike. Although there were speculations that the next high capacity Apache would be powered by a 220cc mill, the truth is far from it. TVS Motors has plonked in a single cylinder, 4-stroke 250cc mill which produces 30bhp at 9500rpm and 2.2kgm at 8000rpm leading to a top speed of 150 kmph. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and the bike weighs just 140kgs with 16 liters of fuel capacity. The front suspension uses telescopic forks whereas at the rear monoshock rectangular swingarm does the job. The front gets 290mm discs and the rear discs are 220mm (ABS will be optional). Front tires are 100/80 x 17 whereas the rear tyres are 130/70 x 17 bolted onto 6-spoke alloy wheels. Price is expected to be close to Rs. 1,20,000/- and the launch will happen next month."
