Great we are hopping for that,thanks for information
Great information we are hopping for that
I am dreaming of a bike which will create a new benchmark in terms of performance as
TVS can do it.
Yamaha: RX-100/ RX-135 5speed
Suzuki: Shogun/Shoulin/Fiero
had created in their times.
It should be light in weight,like fiero, as it was a 4-stroke Rocket in its segment. It should be high in Torque so that it should not require any engine-modification or any performance kit, it should be ready to race bike. After opening few parts it should be easily converted into off-road bike. And factory should provide off-road accessories for that bike knobby tyres front fender,foot rest etc.
And I am sure
Thanks tvs for keeping up with the bajaj,hero honda and yamaha i am sure that what a incredible bike the rtr 180 is surely 220 must be a bombshell, i hope u guys must have seriously concentrated on the looks and design the power u have plug in is enough for indian roads.I am just waiting for ur lauch just want to be the first to get it .BEST OF LUCK TVS

Hi,
Am big fan of TVS – But Disappointed
am really very disappointed by hearing this news this year also there is no 200cc + bike from tvs. I have waited nearly 1+ yr for this bike. HMI, HH and Bajaj they stand on their commitment.
I think tvs dont have funds to introduce 200cc+ bike. This year too they r coming with same old bikes with little upgrade.
This year honda 250cc and yamaha 250cc bks r coming to market. But tvs is lanunching apache 160 (velocity) and apache 180 with ABS.
Mahindra is launching 300cc bike they y cant tvs. Since 2yrs am hearing the news that tvs launcing 200cc+ bike nothing materlize i think in future also it wont
Dilip A
Yeah, seems TVS is slowing down now in catching bajaj. I’m from indonesia and waiting for TVS 180 ABS, but now it’s not quite excited since bajaj has come with Pulsar 220 a few months ago, which has greater power.
