TVS Motors plans to launch 200-250 cc high-performance bikes

200-250 cc high-performance bikes going to Launch in 2014-15

Looking at the growing demand for performance-oriented motorcycles in India, other big players in the two wheeler category, like Bajaj and Honda, have already launched a range of high-performance motorcycles. On the other hand, TVS Motors’ absence in this segment is really surprising, given that it made its presence felt with concept motorcycles at every Auto Expo held in the country.TVS Motors has been a subject of criticism by motorcycle enthusiasts for having failed to launch brand new high-performance bikes. In recent times, the only launches made by the company in the premium sports motorcycle category are Apache RTR180 ABS, which was one year back, and the recently facelifted Apache twins, although they did not succeed in luring the customers to showrooms. The company, diverting from its previous trends, is all set to unleash new motorcycles in 2014-15 with engine capacity in the range of 200-250 cc. This is a segment in which the company does not produce motorcycles presently.



The manufacturer has been working in collaboration with engineering firms like AVL and Ricardo for quite a while now to develop higher capacity engines. Though new motorcycles from TVS Motors are set to hit the roads, the launch is two years away, which is a long time from now. By that time, other motorcycle makers might come up with different and better technologies.

TVS has mainly focussed on the high volume commuter motorcycle space instead of high-performance motorcycle, despite the fact that it has a dedicated racing division which focusses only on coming up with new products. The failure to take any bold decision and failing to come up with high performance motorcycles has pushed TVS to the number four spot from number three position. Japanese giant Honda recently replaced it as the third largest manufacturer of motorcycles in India.

The company plans to launch high volume commuter motorcycles in the coming few months. Upcoming motorcycles lined up by the manufacturer include a 125 cc commuter motorcycle that will be available very soon, followed by a new version of the Victor by the end of the year, a brand that it is trying to resurrect. TVS is also emphasising on the automatic scooter segment and will launch a 125 cc, four stroke scooter that will join the ranks of Wego in 2012. It will launch a hybrid scooter called Qube which will be used as a test to see if this segment has any takers in the Indian market.

Therefore, it cannot be said that TVS Motors’ R&D is not working on new products, but sports bike lovers would certainly have to wait a couple of years to get their hands on a high-performance four stroke version of Shogun or Shaolin.

Top Most Fastest Bikes In The World

Moscow custom bicycles (Velo Park 2012)

This event is the initial starting point for the opening of the new cycling season. Of particular interest to us seemed to copyright bikes made ​​in different design options and an impressive style.

Honda Oree Electric Motorcycle

The street bike concept, the diminutive scale model size of the Oree doesn’t diminish its big ideas. The creation of two German design college students, Nike Albertus and Andre Look, the intention of the Oree “was to create a concept bike for dynamic road riding.”

Creating the model only days before the INTERMOT show, Albertus and Look sourced their interest in motorcycles and honed their talent at the Academy of Art and Design in Offenbach am Main. The minimalist design is fashioned around an electric motor, with radial battery packs placed around the circular edge of the powerplant – including the recharge plug. Citing the performance benefits of an electric motor, including high torque at low revs and quick acceleration, Look notes his design also does without a CVT gearbox or clutch. Instead power is transmitted directly via belt drive.

The ambitious student design anticipates a motor producing 90-plus horsepower, 125 lb-ft of torque and top speed near 120 mph. Weight would be in the range of 290-375 lbs with a range of between 80-190 miles, depending on the number of batteries used. Of course, this is all speculative, as no such batteries or motor now exists (remember it’s a design college project!).

Claiming inspiration from popular European naked bikes like the Kawasaki ER-6, the bare styling of the Oree sports a less-is-more gestalt (that’s German for design). Odd-shaped hand controls include hanging mirrors. A circular control display is located in a more conventional position, above the fork – the front houses the headlight assembly. Taillights are tucked under the scant seat.

Chassis design features a single pivot point around the motor for the single-sided swingarm and final drive. Looking down in their stance, a rider will see the shock in action, as it’s placed between the frame’s backbone spars.

“The major aspect of the suspension is to expose functions and attitude – in standstill for every viewer and also while riding,” explains Look. “At first the direct effects of the road can be recognized through the fork and swingarm movement - further the motion of the suspension shocks between the frame halves can be realized.”

Not an official Honda development, Look assures the two students “requested Honda R&D to backup our knowledge of motorcycles with their professional experience.” Readers may remember the big Honda news at the 2008 INTERMOT Bike Show in Cologne was the unveiling of its V-Four concept bike. More akin to a sculpture than a functional ride, the wild-looking V-Four concept got top billing. Sure, the Oree is a scale model, but it looks like a more finished product and in pure creativity, the college kids may have bested Big Red at INTERMOT.

World Superbike Championship coming to India in 2013

MotoGP coming to India next year, things seem to be on the rise for Indian motorsports as confirmation has now come in of the eni World Superbike Championship to host a round on March 9-10 in 2013 as well. The news comes after Infront Motor Sports and the Buddh International Circuit signed an agreement to host a round of the FIM World Superbike Championship for four years from 2013 to 2016. Infront had in fact met with the race organizers, Jaypee Sports International (JPSI) in 2011 even before the inaugural Formula 1 race and when the track was under construction.

Confirming the news after signing the agreement, JPSI MD and CEO Mr Sameer Gaur said:“We are extremely happy to announce that besides holding the Formula One and FIA GT1 motor racing series, we will also hold a thrilling motorcycle race, World Superbike Championship, at BIC early next year. There are many in India who are passionate about bikes. I am sure they would love to watch famed motorcycle drivers compete against each other here at their own world class racing circuit

Speaking about the agreement, Mr. Maurizio Flammini, Chairman of Infront Motor Sports, said, After meeting the promoters of Jaypee Group last year, I got the feeling that I was dealing with highly professional and powerful corporate house which will guarantee the organization of a successful race in India, even though the Buddh International Circuit was under construction. This impression was indeed confirmed from the outcome of the Formula 1 race held in October 2011 last year which turned out to be the best race of the 2011 season. We are sure that the FIM Superbike World Championship will bring added value to BIC, as well as to India and vice versa . It will also deliver value to all the automobile companies supporting and following our Championship, a very important opportunity to expand their brands and business in Asia.

Enigma Auto Electric vehicle bikes company has unveiled three new electric bikes

Enigma Auto, a strategic business unit of Enigma Electricals, was set up in 2011 with the aim of building energy saving vehicles as an alternative to conventional fossil fuel powered vehicles. With soaring petrol prices. Enigma Auto intends to offer economical mobility for the masses.


The person Gulshan Batra, Director, Enigma Auto, said,“With a continuous hike in the fuel prices we decided to penetrate into the market of electric two-wheelers which indeed is a logical extension, as we believe that electric automobiles are the future of transportation. The company unveiled three electric bikes called, Intense, Crescent and Muscular, all powered by the same 250-watt electric motor that gives the bikes a top speed of 25km/h. The battery pack consists of four lead acid batteries which take six to eight hours to be fully charged and the bikes run 50-70km on a full charge. The company claims that a full charge consumes one unit of electricity which means an expense of Rs 5 for 50-70km which is truly economical.

All the three models features drum brakes both front and rear and telescopic front forks. Safety features include an anti-theft alarm and a motor lock system. An industry first is the cruise control in the electric bike segment.

The biggest drawback of these bikes is the life of the battery which is expected to last around two years. A new battery pack costs Rs 9,000. On the plus side, servicing costs will be minimal as an electric motor requires very little maintenance and the battery pack has a one-year warranty.

Mahindra Rodeo RZ

Latest Suzuki M109R Bike

M109R, Suzuki chose the perfect place for more than one reason. As part of the county, where the open road, it seems to go on forever, scenery is reliable without distractingly stunning, as well as home for the former 500cc world champion Kevin Schwantz. As Suzuki in the chosen son Kevin will lead a dozen of journalists to drive, which will run from the west to the one-horse town of Luckenbach circling around, before returning to its place in Texas cookout.In the same style as all press launches, we were introduced to a new car before our ride, but for me it was the first time I saw the newest Boulevard in the face. Kicked back on the sidestand in the Conference Room, M109R has a striking presence, with his long, low, hard look. In addition, very broad, and with his Butch inverted front forks, massive 240-section rear tire and swooping bodywork, there is no doubt, Suzuki has developed its own unique version of that power should be a cruiser. At 1783cc, the new engine is not the largest, but Suzuki declares he will be the most powerful V-Twin in the world. Manufacturing claimed 127 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 118 pound-feet of torque at 3200 rpm, a Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 and the new Yamaha Roadliner beat a few, that's for sure. It simply is not a torque volcano, although not many do.



 With a massive 112mm pistons blasting up and down their individual 90.5mm stroke, the engine will be to the version from 7400 rpm to limit shuts things down. Maximum power is cited in the 6200 rpm, but the bike is still firmly keeps pulling up to 7000 rpm if you need.During our test I heard a journalist from the famous glossy publication complained cycling in soft power, and not to accept. The compact engine is the crown jewel in the M109R, and our distinguished writer, I understand, to a smooth soft. Production of energy at any point range, never a second in hesitation when you twist throttle and the bike pulls a few minutes from idle with absolute authority to the Redline.

Gyroscopes, which harness the unique propensity of a spinning flywheel to stay upright, have been used for some time for stabilization, including on aircraft and on cruise ships to reduce roll caused by waves.
