This is my third review at mouthshut & I honestly try to put things regarding motorcyles.
The earlier version of Fiero Suzuki Fiero was launched a year back before the pulsar.
It had all the goodies we could think of in a 150cc bike Microprocessor controlled iginition..CV carburettor and all.
After that pulsar was launched with 150cc & 180cc versions.
Pulsar 150 cc was lunched with disc brakes & 5-speed gear box as standard fitmenr.
At the same time..TVS fiero did not even had disc brake as option ..forget about the 5-speed gearbox.
within a year came the Pular DTS-i ( digital twin spark ignition)
Then fiero responded with F2 having disc brakes as optional & again with same old 4-speed gear box.
It seems TVS is slow to adapt to market changes.By this time a 5-speed fiero with 100/90-18 rear tyre should have beeb launched.
TVS fiero has an excellent package of ride handling & mieage.
But styling seems similar to VICtor a lot & the 4-speed gear box does not do justice to it.
Even the Wind 125 has five speed gear box.
Wake up TVS..or soon you will lose the market to Pulsar 150-DTS-i!!
I recommend this bike to all friends if they can live with the 4-speed gear box..and the looks as if the elder sister of VICTOR.
Overall this bike is good...
Handling best in its class..
fuel efficiency best in its class.
ride comfort with pillion..too good..
If TVS wakes up early we might see a 5-speed Fiero with Disc brakes as standard..
till then wait for it...but by that time..BAJAJ may have come up with a caliber 115 with 5-speed gear box .CV carburettor.....
No iam not tryig to distract my friends wh are reading this review..I am just talking about the market scenario..which is leaving TVS gasping..
