Long time no see, marinegopi.

Please share your RTR experiences. A lot of people seem to believe that TVS cannot make reliable bikes.

hi steeroid...ya long time no c!! not in mumbai anymore...back to hometown andaman islands...the problem here is i cannot go for long deives..coz everything is so near here...hardly 5 sq km and u can cover the complete city area!! and the outskirts roads are in **** state...

as far as TVS is concerned my dad bought the old original suzuki around 1982...the one with original japanese engine...that bike breathed its last....just in 2006 nov...getting its spares is difiicult now...so its lying in the garage...then now he has a victor...i had a fiero then a fiero f2 and now RTR....i would any day prefer TVS over the RATTLING Bajaj's!!

Some slick touchup work there

The bike looks great on the monochrome background. sets off the redness really nice.

Congrats on the RTR! Love the looks of the RTR except for the tail-lamps!

Wonder what makes you say that? As my experience has been just the opposite. Anyways, good decision on the bike.

guys, didnt you notice one bad thing about all TVS bike, is that their hadles are small, for the bike sizes, Apache made me think on this as it shares the same handle design as the old Victor

But try to agree on one point brother... No bike in India handles better than Apache in city traffic...
