TVS Announces MotoSoul Bikers Festival; To Be Held In October 2019

TVS and TVS Racing will come together and organise a bikers' festival called the 'MotoSoul' in Vagator, Goa on October 18 and 19. It will be a global event and the idea behind the festival is to establish a strong connect between the Apache Owners Group and other performance motorcycle enthusiasts across the world. TVS says that MotoSoul will be annual event with the 2019 edition being the first one. The MotoSoul will host an array of racing and adventure activities along with interactive sessions with racing champions from India and abroad and will have personnel from TVS R&D for discussions and solving queries as well.

Commenting on the new initiative Meghashyam Dighole, Head - (Marketing) Premium Motorcycles, TVS Motor Company, said "MotoSoul is our flagship initiative to create a differentiated platform for our global brand - TVS Apache. The brand has built a strong community of over 3.5 million customers across the globe with our differentiated customer experience initiatives such as Apache Owners Group, Apache Racing Experience & Apache Pro Performance. MotoSoul is a culmination of the Apache Owners experience as well as an opportunity for global performance motorcycle enthusiasts to experience our products, interact with our racers, experts, and be united by their passion for motorcycling."

The event will also witness a bunch of fun activities including gala nights on both days. Plus, TVS will showcase new products and models from its line-up at the event. The company has already begun early bird registrations on the TVS Apache website. We expect MotoSoul to be organised on the lines of Rider Mania from Royal Enfield and the India Bike Week (IBW). Premium motorcycle brands such as Harley-Davidson, Triumph, Ducati and BMW too have their own owners meet and greet along with curated rides but this is perhaps the first instance of a mass market two-wheeler manufacturer to be actually organising a bikers' festival with the intention of turning it into an annual event and not just a one-off thing.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.
