TVS Motors is among the oldest two-wheeler manufacturers in existence in India. It started its innings by selling mopeds which was a huge hit especially in rural markets and they continue to garner good sales figures. Like every major manufacturer in India, TVS also joined hands with Suzuki Motor Corporation to form a joint venture christened TVS-Suzuki. The above partnership was beneficial to TVS as it got access to technology and exposure to the engineering advancement that Japanese motorcycles were renowned for. TVS-Suzuki made a mark among enthusiasts with its two-stroke motorcycles like Samurai and Shogun. Both the manufacturers decided to end their 19 year old partnership in 2001 and the Fiero was the last bike to be launched by the duo. To make a mark in the mass market segment, TVS launched the Victor (first indigenously developed motorcycle in India) which was an instant hit and still remains the only motorcycle that came close to give some kind of competition to the legendary Hero Splendor. TVS also had a great racing history and to utilise the above it launched the Apache range of performance bikes. The TVS Apache series was also warmly welcomed by enthusiasts and is the second most popular performance brand in the country after Bajaj Pulsar. In the recent years, TVS has focussed its attention on commuter bikes and also reintroduced the Victor brand. The TVS Jupiter scooter has also been a great new addition for the Hosur based manufacturer. It also signed an agreement to manufacture the BMW G310R in India for the German two-wheeler giant and a TVS offering based on the same is expected to make its debut by late 2016 or early 2017.
