6 2007 TVS Apache II on its way..??

Yes, that is what Autocar India has to say in its April 2007 issue; page 131.

A reader of Autocar India from Chennai has reported that he had spotted a bike with similar styling to the TVS Apache but probably a bit longer in length. Although its not a lenghty article, I would prefer not to disclose the full article here.

>>The new Apache II probably is a bit longer than the present Apache

>>Result of the opinion poll suggests that it was mainly the small looks of the TVS Apache which turned people off

Moreover the report can't be taken to be concrete as it has been sent by a reader and there are also no pictures/photos of the above mentioned bike. Nevertheless a new improved Apache was expected from TVS and the sooner TVS launches it, the better.

The distinctive looks of the present Apache helped TVS improve the sales of its 150 C.C offering. But according to me, the sales would have been even better had the present Apache been a little bit longer in length. TVS had maneuverability in traffic when they designed the Apache, which resulted in a smaller wheelbase than the competition (read Pulsar, unicorn, CBZ Xtreme). But as the result of the opinion poll (which was put up on my blog a few weeks earlier) suggests, it was mainly the small looks of the TVS Apache which turned people off.

"So till we come across any official announcements or get to see some spy pics, all we can do is speculate..."

Now if TVS has really decided to launch a New APACHE II, it would be better to give it longer legs. It would also be interesting to note whether TVS can offer the same kind of goodies like Digital Speedo and LED tail lights (if not back-lit and self cancelling switches) like the new Pulsars. It will also be interesting to note whether TVS has something special for the 2007 Apache II. Like a bigger/more powerful engine, Fuel injection, rear monoshocks, upside down forks.... Aaah..!! only if dreams were horses..!!

Now is TVS Motor really going to launch a new 2007 Apache II..?? If the answer is yes, then it would be better if the New Bike has a better engine and a better gearbox along with the longer look.

So till we come across any official announcements or get to see some spy pics, all we can do is speculate.
