Overview of TVS Velocity 160 Street Fighter
TVS recently displayed the Velocity 160 Street Fighter concept at the Jakarta Motorcycle Show. It is basically a modified version of the Apache RTR 160, it also looks somewhat similar to the Yamaha FZ16 especially from the front. This street-fighter avatar of the Apache RTR 160 has huge front petal disc brakes, upside down forks, a non-faired front, wide tyres and wait for it, a rear mono-shock as the hallmarks of its design. The streetfighter concept has been shown so as to gauge the initial reaction of the Indonesian public towards such a design.
