So what TVS have in the 961 is a bike that attracts a lot of attention because the design is so good. The retro vibe is still strong (thanks BMW for giving it a bit more of a push) and a name which will definitely sell the bike internationally. They are in the position of having a design which is guaranteed to sell if the price is right so how much effort would it really be to reverse engineer a new 961? Ok so we might need a fake air cooled engine but I'm sure TVS have got some good engineers to come up with something to look the part. It does need performance though so give it a supercharger for that additional wow factor eh Nigel?
