Suzuki might come sooner

Suzuki unwraps the Inazuma 250cc motorcycle that could be positioned under the Honda CBR250R: India bound? | IndianCarsBikes.in

yup..almost all companies are now interested in quarter liter class..li think response to the CBR whick makes them think about their bikes in Indian market

AFAI remember TVS did put up an prototype 200cc machine named "ISOTOPE" in Auto Expo 2010.

Correct me if I am incorrect.

1 year back there's a rumor that TVS is investing on a 200cc+ engine project.

A yamaha with a 250cc mill in Fazer's clothing would be awesome...I would be the first one to book it.

Looks pretty enticing with those upside down forks, meaty swing-arm, sporty exhaust. Though a bigger engine displacement would make it a great package.

maybe they designed this frame for their 200+cc engines

^^ Why not something BIG? Apache already kills FZ in terms of performance.

Yes, if it's looks and aesthetics which TVS engineers fancy more than its track-bred tool , then it might be the case.

It probably the wannabe-FZ-Killer Naked streetfighter!

new Apache RTR's out soon...says Autocar India!

^^ Didn't see the above post while posting..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOOP! TVS to launch revised Apache RTR-Next gen RTR sportsbikes coming soon. The TVS Motor company’s flagship models, the Apache RTR series bikes are a popular choice with Indian sportsbike enthusiasts, and for good reasons. Born with the solid foundation of racing heritage, the affordably priced RTR’s, 160 and 180 represent the best of both worlds, engineered to be relaxed enough to ride on a daily basis, yet still providing riders the thrills of exciting performance and sharp edged handling that only true sportsbikes deliver. The RTR 180 to its credit remains to date one of India’s select few motorcycles to provide riders the additional safety of ABS assisted brakes.


The Apache RTR’s are easily the best looking motorcycles from TVS, which is soon to be taken to the next level. Expect the shortly upcoming RTR variants to sport more contemporary, revised styling, while retaining all their sought after value-for-money features including a heady blend of performance, with good handling and adequate comfort. The new RTR should enter TVS showrooms around the country as early as within some weeks from now, and we don’t expect to see too much more than is already offered by these bikes in terms of extra engine capacity or performance.

Seems like TVS will introduce a 'new look' Apache soon.. Let us hope it is more than mere stickering change like 'HyperEdge' model
