You take one last breath, look deeply into the eyes of your children and grandchildren and the only thing you have the strength to mutter is “sports gone soft” you look out the window, this is the last time you will see the sun set but looks as bright and beautiful as you have ever remembered. In the distance you seem to hear the whine of a 125 2 stroke as the DMT releases from your brain
- That statement is directly pointed at some members here on vital.
I'm Glad to see another Supercross league startup! More to watch, i hope they stream it internationally.

Looking through TVS' site I see they are partnered with Sherco. Does anyone know if the TVS is an Indian-built rebadge, or really any info on their offerings?
Either way it is great to see factory efforts of any kind in Indian SX to help elevate the sport.
These races are super fun to watch. Last time I saw a dude on a moped clean out a guy on one of those TVS.
Willy Musgrave won a round of the India (Pune) Supercross Series in the 1980s.

"Conquering harsh off-road terrains is what the RTR 300 FX does best. Designed and developed by TVS Racing’s R&D team, this race machine is a result of thousands of hours spent in mastering tricky terrains and winning countless championships."
And still waiting on life swap, of course!
Mike Alessi better jump on the chance to race in India. It may be his last chance to win a pro championship....
Eicher Motors will dominate!

What did I just witness
C'mon Rugved Bharguje !
People having a Go, is what you witnessed.
On all sorts of bikes.
It's a bit analogous to the Western Worlds Dirt Bike Boom of the 70s. Not everyone had the latest and greatest when they first got into our incredible sport. .
But, in this case, it's happening in what is now, or is about to be, the most populated country in the World. If just a poofteenth of a percent of their population get into Dirt Bikes, the sales boom will make our 70s 'boom' look utterly piddly.
They've an ever growing middle class, and a shedload of interest in things like Dirt Bikes, while we in the 'West', well, ours is ever shrinking - Both the Middle class, and Interest .
I think it's awesome. They've got the industry, and the consumer base that may enable us to keep having 'Toys', because they buy so much more of the bikes that make 'Toys' viable to produce. And, they'll probably end up buying far more 'Toys' than we do, or, indeed, ever have bought.
If you want to see other examples of their 'have a go' attitude, go looking for things like Royal Enfield festivals / races. People going hell for leather on things like RE Bullets.
Didn't he win a Canadian Outdoor Championship a few years back (ok, more than a few).
I don’t think he ever won the championship there, just some races. But my old memory is foggy at times😃
Nope. None.
This is great!
We live again Fam
