Probably the most sensible bike in its class, well, almost...

Yes, I say well almost and you already know the reasons. Style needs to be addressed for sure while a fifth cog in the transmission has to be brought into the picture. On the latter aspect I have it on good authority from the merry men at TVS that such a gearbox will be on offer from July this year.

Contrary to the lack of contemporary style which I always lay much stress on, the looks of the Fiero F2 grow on you with time and logging of kilometres. It is like a comfortable sports shoe which you always like to have on as it wraps around your foot like an outer skin. The Fiero F2 does this and in a most effortless manner. The more you ride the bike, the more it begs you to take it to its limits and yours without in any way giving you a hint that she would bite back. The forgiving nature of its ride and handling is exceptional but like I said in a manner totally different from say a Pulsar which is more aggressive in its stance and sportiness.

TVS intends to offer the F2 at a price point matching the Pulsar 150 with a disc brake and the choice of an electric start version as an optional extra. We think this is a sound move and one which stands a great chance of adding to the company’s volumes, both in terms of sheer numbers produced as also in its bottom line.

Brings me back to the super commuter term. Sounds apt doesn’t it even if it is sounding a tad repetitive? That’s the Fiero effect for you and me.
