HISTORY OF TWO WHEELER
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The real revolution in personnel transport automobile
history came with the development of the internal combustion
engine developed by the German inventor Gattleb diamer. He
was the first person to design a motorcycle on November 10 th
1885, which was equipped with air cooled benzene engine.
By 1990 these motorcycles were produced and sold in
France. In the evolution of the design of the motorcycles
positioning of the engine was crucial aspects. Michchel and
fugene warner , two Russian exiles, living in Paris were the first
to determine the present low positioning of the engine. It was
the main stage in development of the Docile machine of the
engine in the centre of the frame.

MANUFACTURING OF TWO WHEELER IN INDIA
Most of the two wheeler industries don’t manufacture all
the parts, usually orders are placed out of the best industries,
which have capacity to manufacture the right quality in
specified time. Certain industries purchased spare parts from
small scale industries as per the instructions given by the
government to develop the small scale industries.
The two wheeler industries manufacturers only the main
parts like engine gear units , wheel drum etc. where as they
purchase combustion from words best manufacturers like
“space”, “micarbo”, “orbitac”. Because this is the part, which
helps for better mileage other parts like tyres, tubes, bearings,
speedometer, schok absorbers, bulbs, norms, cables etc..Are
purchase from other organized industries, certain other things
Krupanidhi school of management 10
”Consumer Behaviour Towards TVS Apache”
like writing, plastic, fiber other parts and seats are purchased
from small scale industries.
In the foreign section steel sheets are converted into his needs
like body cover, chassis and welded by electrolysis process it is
then printed. The parts are then taken into test ride on the test
tracks. If the vehicles perform well to standards the vehicles
are read for dispatch.
FEATURES OF INDIAN TWO WHEELERS INDUSTRY
Two wheelers in India is a growing market, which no doubt
by the turn of century will become the latest market in the
world. The India two wheeler users look forward to era of
choice, as they have an option from several high quality
products that are priced and available cost 1980s faced a
tremendous growth of two wheeler over four fold jumping.
It from 4.2 lakhs in the year 1980 to 17.24 lakhs in 1989.
But the 1990s hold out greater challenger ahead.
If 1980s was the decade for quality, 1990s could be a
decade for quality engines with higher fuel efficiency low
maintenance cost, excellent after sales service penetration into
semi urban and rural area are the important factors for survival
customers is aware of the latest technology features of the
product he buys.
Krupanidhi school of management 11
”Consumer Behaviour Towards TVS Apache”
So naturally, it is obviously that if the manufacturer does
not specify the customer, he faces the prospect of elimination
and one who fulfills his demand remains the leader forever.
India is the second largest manufacturer of two wheeler in the
world. It stands next only to Japan and china terms of the
number of the two wheeler produced and sale respectively.
India is one of the very few countries manufacturing three
wheelers in the world. It is the world’s largest manufacturers
and sellers of the three wheelers.
The two wheeler industry can be broadly in 3major
segments that is scooters, motorcycles and mopeds. The
domestic two wheeler sales of 3,778million and for the year
2000, scooters sales of 33.4% motorcycle were 47.7% in the
year 1999.
The demand for scooter is one of the wane and witnessed
at 10% fall in for the year 2000 with the gradual shift on
demand, sales in the scooters segments are expected record
continued growth in the future. This will translate into a
demand fall of 30% in scooter while sales of scooter will rise by
30% in the year 2002 with the on going expansion from Bajaj
auto ltd, LML and TVS Suzuki the capacity in the scooter will
increase from 2million in the year to 3.5 in the year 2002,
leading to a surplus situation.

model , RTR stands for “Racing Throttle Response “. The RTR FI
160 retail at around RS70,000( on road, Delhi ). Currently more
than 2,50,000 Apaches are on road.
DESIGN & STYLING
The bike is primarily designed with a racing approach
resulting in the inclusion of a lap timer & provision for the last
three 0-6 Km/Hr timings. The stylish yet functional design of
the bike has been praised by critics. Apache is the first bike in
India to feature a petal disc brake.
This brake evolved from circa 1999 SUZUKI FIERO which
TVS used to manufacture in India. It is TVS’ s R&D on FIERO
model with an over borne on 147cc FIERO Engine.
COMFORT & HANDLING
Since the bike is optimized for handling, the ride quality is
on the stiffer side. Previous versions of Apache had a wheel
base of 1260mm which resulted in better turning in at the
expense of stability. TVS increased the wheel base by 40mm to
improve the stability.
PERFORMANCE & FUEL ECONOMY
The top of the line Apache RTR FI160 features a fuel
injected 160cc. it does 0-60 Km/Hr in 4.3 seconds & 0-100
