    Once i heard from Joel that these group B RTRs just wheelie off from the start and vanish in the distant. Now i understand why. They could atleast bring in the Mono shocks employed for this bike and throw away those TVS tires and use a better piece of foot wear.

    Such a highly prepped engine will not be street reliable. Even if it, you will not get the same spec bike, then who will win the race for TVS.

    This bike is not just faster than the R15, but faster than the fastest group B full race spec R15:-)

    Also there is no wonder the stall guys don't know about the bike. reason? Not many even in TVS factory know about it. Its kind of closely guarded secret.:-)
    Hoping that some of its parts and the tuning make it to the next RTR model.For starters ,its mono shock set up,the half fairing ,clip on's and the 3 valve head will be welcome additions. Knowing TVS and the fact that the race track is where they test and perfect their next models.I am quite sure we'll be seeing these features in the next RTR.

          • Some From my side

            Finally I got the time to write my experience of Auto Expo.

            Well, first it was my first Auto Expo and I have been reading about it since eternity. I had huge expectations. Some colleagues of mine actually went to Auto-Expo on the Special Invitee Day. They could arrange the jugad. When they reached office and told me their experience I could not hold myself. I applied for next day's(Friday) holiday then and there.

            Friday morning, I woke up early. Actually I could not sleep in anticipation. Heavy fog was there. I thought if I could make it in the fog I could have the advantage of less people there. I reached Expo around 10.30. Entered from Gate 5. There was not much rush. Confirmed xBHP stall's location from Aryan da and headed straight there. There I met the ever enthusiastic Dipankar bhai and Sherry Bhai. Got my xBHP T-shirt(Ah It felt sooo good wearing it) and headed out too see the Expo. Till 12.30 the crowd was fine but after that in famous stalls like Audi, BMW and Tata the crowd was crazy. By that time I had seen all the bike stalls. Being a huge Range Rover Fan I had to get atleast one picture of her. Man it was crazy it front of Jaguars and Range Rovers but I got my prize. and then I went to xBHP stall back and packed up and left for home.


            I have to say that although I enjoyed the time I spent there but the treatment my colleagues got in the Special Invitees day was some thing which will make me wait for the next Expo desperately. They actually sat in every car and got to speak to the people about the stats and features of all these cars. I am at any cost going to get in the next Auto Expo on the special Invitees day.

                • One incidence which happened to me. Cops were not allowing anyone to stand outside gate no. 7 and i had come on my brother's Libero to Delhi from Faridabad. I completed three rounds of Pragati Maidan before i saw a XBHP sticker on a bike in a Petrol Pump near gate no. 4. It was Sikhbiker whom i had met earlier and then Ravi Bhai took me to the Dhaba.

                        • TVS won't launch the Racekit!!
                          Yupp,earlier it was me who said that they would launch the kit but that was because of the silly standing right next to the Pro-kitted bike..
                          The other day (on 11th) on asking again whether the Kit will be launched or not..He said that no it won't be launched and it's only meant for track use..not even the Free-flow!
                          And the power figure is still 24bhp as per his knowledge!

                          So,like Joel wrote a few pages back i am sure this thing is History now!..
                          If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!

                            Celeb status??? ohhh sounds cool

                            But to be honest, have always considered xBhp as second family, and felt like it was my duty to be there. So just did that.

                            And will always be there whenever xBhp needs me.
                            (anyways thanks to you Puneet, have't seen anyone as helping as you are from a long time.)
