TVS Apache RTR 180cc Bike

TVS India is planning to launch their all-new Apache RTR 180cc bike for the Indian markets. The TVS Apache RTR 180cc bike is expected to be codenamed as the ‘Menace’ and will also load on the 180-cc engine that features a power rating of 17.3 PS beating the 223-cc Hero Honda Karizma, and also the Bajaj Pulsar 180cc.

TVS Apache RTR 180cc bike will be in the sporty look as of the 3rd generation TVS Apache RTR 160cc, 0-60 km/hour timings, and digital speedometer with top speed.

Features of the TVS Apache RTR 180cc bike include:
- Petal-shaped disc brakes
- Bigger RTR sticker on the tank scoops
- Naked chain cover
- LED tail lamps
- Clip on handlebar
- White back light for the speedometer
- Service and battery indicator
- Feature to test the top speed and 0 - 60kmph timing on the digital display
- RTR 180 logo near the clip-on’s
- Wider 110/80-17 rear tyre

Design:
The bike will retain the basic lines of the current RTR, retaining the basic look of a naked sports bike. But with no front scoop this time. And for a good reason too, the front is now going to house a semi-full faring that will expose part of the engine and give it that naked bike look too.
The bike will have a digital speedometer with top speed, 0-60 timer, trips, and other extra functionality plus stunning looks.

Ride and Handling:
The current RTR handles like a charm with loads of feedback from both the front and rear end. TVS won’t make a mistake in the handling department, although the company is looking to keep the setup to a slightly sportier side. With front and rear disk brakes and a proposed mono-shock we have a new dream bike in development here.
Rumours are that TVS might be going overboard with the weight distribution and balancing and we might have a surprise exhaust this time.

Yamaha Bikes in India Launches 2 New Bikes Yamaha FZ1 998cc & Yamaha SZ-R 153cc

All set to give the year 2010 a spectacular finish, India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd. unveiled two new bikes - 998cc Yamaha FZ1 and 153cc Yamaha SZ-R, adding a new credo for the bikers in India with the archetype Yamaha DNA of Performance, Innovation & Design.

Commenting on the occasion, Hiroyuki Suzuki, CEO & Managing Director, India Yamaha Motor said, "India is one of the key markets for Yamaha and we have been constantly shifting gears to transform the market from utility to pleasure & lifestyle. Yamaha offers innovative designs, sporty looks and premium features across models as part of its strategy to give consumers a new thrill in biking. After the successful launch of our superbikes and 150 cc bikes in the Indian market over the last 3 years, we are adding two new bikes to our portfolio corroborating Yamaha’s continued commitment to provide world-class products to its consumers".

"While FZ1 is a naked sports bike with fuel-injected power and ‘Pure Torque’ for the ultimate riding experience, SZ-R gives the 150cc commuters segment a sporty edge apart from delivering Power, Comfort and Style. SZ series bikes launched in August 2010 and aggressive pricing of Rs. 49,000/- have high demand and are gaining popularity across India. Customers have been demanding inclusion of the disc brake version which is now available in SZ-R. We are confident that our new bike models will once again capture the hearts of our customers and will further consolidate our position in the market", he added.

Yamaha FZ1 Features:

Yamaha FZ1, a power packed sports bike comes with a compact design and 998cc DOHC 20-valve engine tuned for tremendous mid-range punch and massive top-end power. The cast aluminum bodywork and a comfortable handlebar position give the bike great looks while ensuring the comfort of the rider. The closed-deck cylinder block provides great strength while allowing a narrow engine in spite of big 77mm bores. The high silicon-content ceramic-composite cylinder lining reduces friction and maximizes heat dissipation for consistent power delivery. Also, the fuel injection with computer-controlled sub-throttle valves provides precise fuel/air mixture for outstanding power delivery through its broad rpm range while ensuring compliance of all emissions regulations.

Its race-inspired curved radiator with twin ring-style fans keeps everything cool under all conditions. The aggressive chassis geometry with supersport inspired 51 percent front wheel weight bias provides quick and nimble handling. The 320mm front discs aided by mono-block four-piston calipers up front and a single 245mm rear disc serve up strong and consistent stopping power.

Other high-tech prominent features of the bike include analog tachometer, digital speedometer, dual trip meter, odometer, water temperature and lights for neutral, high beam, low fuel and turn signals. The half-cowl fairing design gives aggressive eye-catching naked profile to the bike. The dual 12V 60/55 watt multi-reflector headlight features a sleek profile for superb aerodynamics and visibility.

Yamaha commitment to technologically advanced machines is accentuated by the bike’s cornering acceleration ability which delivers the maximum amount of drive force in the smoothest manner possible. FZ1 is available in 2 color options - Black and White at an ex-showroom price (Delhi) of Rs. 8,70,000/-.

Yamaha SZ-R Features:

The 153cc Yamaha SZ-R is a modern & sporty version of Yamaha SZ-X which is a powerful, comfortable and stylish commuter. The muscular SZ-R is targeted at commuter customers with their sports-oriented interests and is designed to create the sensation of "High Speed". The bike comes with front disc brake, tachometer and has tank protector added to the fuel tank to make it appear even larger.

Furthermore, the shroud of the standard Yamaha SZ-X model is replaced by an aerodynamic spoiler that extends out boldly and is given the same silver coloring as the side covers. The bike also has clear lens flasher, colored handle grip end bar, painted muffler end caps along with special graphics. SZ-R is priced at Rs. 55,500/- (Ex-showroom price - Delhi) and will be available in 3 color options – Quality Black, Quality Red and Quality Blue.

With the launch of FZ1 and SZ-R, Yamaha is all set to provide Indian riders a chance to experience true ‘Art of Engineering’, which lies at the heart of Yamaha’s creations. The duo is extremely well engineered, comfortable, stylish and promises to be the best in their respective categories.
