Guess they may also release the full video right after the embargo. Seems like the test rides were done on 04 Dec 2017.

Slipper clutch is not present on G310r too, so guess it carried/dropped that from there. Regarding the OVRM not on handle bar, it was already confirmed in spy pics posted before.

Just to add to the Apache ownership experience, I have a 2011 RTR 160 'Hyperedge' clocked 41k. Other than once when the defective chain gave up on the way back from work, it has never stranded me anywhere. The build quality is decent. Plastics mostly suck though. The finish around the keyhole and speedo area is not good. This was fixed with 2012 redesign. Japanese provide much better plastics and finish.

The bike is not without its niggles though. TPS issues causing jerky throttle response is the most common one I can think of. In my case, the engine emits some weird rattle when the engine heats up. I changed timing chain, adjusted valve clearance numerous times. No use. Quite a few people have faced engine failures due to sustained high RPM riding on the highways (have not seen this issue with GS 150R / FZ 16 / R15).

TVS service is among the worst in the country. The bozos had once apparently revved the engine (or ridden the bike?) with the air filter removed before a replacement was installed. How do I know? The bike was struggling to accelerate beyond 5K RPM after the service and the 100cc scooters and motorbikes were flying past me easily. I had to change the carb diaphragm myself at home to bring it back to shape.

Another SVC had replaced the spark plug connector with one from Star City just to make money. The worst is that the company doesn't give a damn about the customers once it gets the money. They forwarded the email I sent them to the SVC and they washed their hands off.
My emails about the rattling noise have never got any response.

The electricals have all been stock till now with no issues. The cost cutting done by giving AC headlights is a big downer though as I'm stuck with 35W candle lights.

All that said, I still love riding this bike in the city (it is underpowered for the highways). I redline the motor quite a few times during my commute and it is ever eager to get there. Part of the credit goes to the attention the engine gets from me in terms of maintenance.

On topic: Like the way the 310 looks. Just wish they had gone all out in terms of riding position considering that they gave sporty riding stance in a naked.

It's working fine for me, not able to hear anything as I have to mute the audio or else my boss will jump on me .

Hope they unwilling it soon, postponed a meeting to catch a glimpse of this beauty.

Here you go.. The first official pic of the TVS Apache RR310

EDIT: Specifications added

That's too much focus on the race track DNA. Not sure this is meant for comfy highway rides too.

Guess they had a goal, they wanted to make it as track focused as possible and would probably plonk this engine later in a Naked Apache. Something like KTM.

Loved the Indian tricolor on the visor.

This might not be for comfortable highway cruising, but will be a tough competition to the likes of fully faired motorcycles such as :
- Kawasaki Ninja
- Yamaha R3
- Benelli TNT 300
- Duke RCs

The next stop, where does TVS price it. This will make all the difference.

[CrAzY dRiVeR]

The sexiest bike produced by an Indian manufacturer in recent times? This could be it.

Hope they don't mess it up with the production constraints and deliveries like the case of the RTR 200.
