TVS-Launches-Apache-RTR-160-FI-Will-Launch-Four-New-Bike-This-Fiscal


TVS Motor has launched a fuel-injected variant of its Apache motorcycle. Fitted with a 1600cc fuel-injected engine, the new Apache RTR 160 FI is priced at Rs 64,990 ex-showroom Delhi. ‘The fuel injection technology deployed in the RTR FI gives the motorcycle crisper throttle response and enhances its fuel efficiency,’ said HS Goindi, marketing head at TVS Motor Company.

The Chennai-based TVS Motor also has big plans for launching new bikes – the company intends to launch no less than four new bikes in the current fiscal. Some of TVS’ new bikes and scooters will be launched during the festive period in October this year, while the other will come in early next year.

TVS expects a 15-20% growth in sales during the current financial year – the company expects to sell around 15 lakh units in this period. In addition to the fuel-injected Apache RTR 160, TVS also intends to launch Apache variants with bigger engines (to take on bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar 180 and Pulsar 200), a new 125cc motorcycle and more powerful scooter variants.

Given the rising prices of petrol, TVS is also said to be working on CNG / LPG-powered bikes, though details on these are not available at the moment. The company is targeting a 40% increase in exports this year, with overseas sales increasing in the ASEAN region. TVS exports two-wheelers from its plant in Indonesia

Special-Report-Honda-And-Bajaj-SuperBikes-In-India-Shortly


Eying a big potential for luxury bikes in India, where tastes are changing from mass-market machines to high-end bikes, Honda and Bajaj are looking at launching new sportsbikes in the country in the next couple of months.

There had been a sudden surge in the number of International Sportsbikes brands entering the Indian market, over the past two years. Initially the trend was set by Kinetic with the launch of the 250cc, v-twin-powered Hyosung Comet in India back in 2005. Then it was Yamaha, which launched the Yamaha R1 in India and the MT-01 cruiser in 2007. Soon later followed by the Italian motorcycle giant Ducati, who launched an array of superbikes costing up to almost 50 lakhs, and finally Suzuki joined the superbike bandwagon in late-2008, with its Hayabusa superbike and the Intruder cruiser
Keeping with that trend, Honda and Bajaj don’t want to be left behind. Honda now intends to provide some competition to the Yamaha R1and the Suzuki Hayabusa by launching the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade in India, in the first quarter of this year, and following will be a naked version of the bike (pictured below).

Honda also plans to launch the Honda CB1000R in India alongside it. Both bikes are expected to be priced at around Rs 9.5-10.5 lakhs, making them slightly cheaper alternatives to the R1 and the Hayabusa

BACKROAD RAMBILINGS


While meandering through my stack of monthly motorcycle magazines, I stumbled upon a 1000cc shootout that stopped me in my proverbial tracks. Among the entrants compared were the usual lot of Japanese masterpieces, the Honda CBR1000RR, Suzuki GSX-R1000, the Yamaha YFZ-R1, and the Kawasaki ZX-10R. It was the remaining two entrants that prevented me, momentarily, from wandering over to the cupboard for a fistful of Cheez-Its. The Ducati 999S and the MV Agusta F4 1000 S had made the grade of being worthy opponents of the Big Four in this particular shootout, but it's their results that I found a bit disturbing.

Riders with even so much as a hint of racing heritage in their veins can't help but get a little googly eyed over the blood red paint scheme and flowing lines of the Ducati. I mean, after all this is an Italian bike that oozes with the same kind of romantic appeal that has made Ferrari so desirable throughout the ages. Comparatively, the price tag of the Ducati is nearly double that of the R1, which would lead one to believe that perhaps the performance, too then, would be double. Hardly.

While the Yamaha was quoted as putting out 149.9 horsepower and hitting a top speed of 181, the Duc rated 130.8 horses and a top speed of 165. Of course, the Ducati is a V-Twin rather than an inline-Four of its Japanese rivals, and likewise one would expect the bike to be lighter as a result. Wrong again, the R1 weighed in at 423 pounds while the 999 tipped the scales at 434 pounds.

The hard data didn't exactly paint a pretty picture for the Ducati, at least not nearly as well as the photograph of the bike leaning impossibly inward around a tight switch-back did. The report, whether intentional or not, got me thinking about exactly how much (or how little) emphasis we place on hard numbers and performance data in selecting a new model to purchase (or even just to fantasize about).
