The joint collaboration of TVS and BMW is reportedly working on a middle-weight adventure tourer which is rumoured to be based on the BMW G 650 GS. This rumoured motorcycle is speculated to be powered by a twin cylinder 500-600cc engine and is expected to carry a price tag of Rs 5-6 lakhs. Contrary to the earlier reports, which pointed that this upcoming adventure tourer would be manufactured in India, new reports suggest that this new middle-weight motorcycle will be developed and manufactured in Germany and will most probably be assembled at TVS’s production facility in India.
