Here's a teaser which i just stumbled upon..
This does have the potential to give a knock out to its competition..

Hope it comes soon.. Knowing TVS it should be priced right as well..
So now the guessing game begins.. Let me begin with my thought's..

How many cecees..??
My guess 250 as they have a lot of good competition i.e. p200, duke, cbr and the upcoming GT250 and mostly the GW as well, even though the imports are on the higher side they would not want to take that risk.. So 200 wont make any sense unless its in the 25 horses range..
How many horses..??
Better be on the better side of 25 horses, something around 28 should be tasty..
Phull phairing..
We just love sports bike don't we..?? Guessing from the image i am sure it is..
Monoshock, fi
These two will also have to be present otherwise no use if you ask me..

Others do put in your thoughts..

Its NOT a new bike. Its the streetfighter based on the RTR series.
Expect a lot of wannabe Carbon Fibre parts, and a new headlight and more comfortable ergo on the bike.

PS: Those are pilots and NOT the headlights from Audi/Panigale
PPS: And any resemblance with the Velocity concept is coincidental (or so we should think)

Well I have learnt not to have too much expectations from TVS...you can only ogle at their concept bikes at Expos and forget it later.

Agree to that part.. They have more launches outside our country then here..

Satyen bhai if its not an upgrade then many won't look at it at all..

Well even if they fit a monoshock and USD forks, whats the use if they are connected by a spring in the middle  (RTR "Chassis")?

That thing can barely handle the existing bhp.

I share the same thoughts too.. TVS does not have the nerve to release something totally new but instead ponder around with existing models here and there.. their most awesome creation is the apache series and I hope they get out of it and get something new else they will have a slow death competing with new performance biking models from bajaj, honda and hero.. though they sell good numbers in commuting market!

Agreed doc, but i don't think they are that stupid..

[razorBlades]

could it be this one?

[rahul_rn]

^^^Could be with different styling for India..

[pulsurge]

Looks too similar to the FZ...and it'll make the FZ owner collars go even higher

I think its time they tie-up with Suzuki once again and do something what BAL has done with the P200NS.

[rahul_rn]

Tie-up's are bad for out companies, they don't allow us anything..
Rather a direct stake in the company is much better..

So wish that's wrong, just for the sake of headlamps.. They look so damn good in the teaser I'd feel bad if they were just cosmetic upgrades..

[arn]

It's a pity they are aping the Fazer's styling. Why not twin round headlamps?

But they'd better do something about that frame first. At the hardest rear shock absorber settings, I suspect the frame does more suspension duty than the actual suspension bits....

[rahul_rn]

well doc they seriously need your advice on suspension and frame designing.. I am sure we will get a deltabox frame + r15 shox..
