Any DOUBT Here ?????
The Yammy will be the one I will pick ! It is the jack of all trades. Be it engine, spares, maintenance, It is the RX-Z !!! But one thing you will regret. It is the cost of it today. It costs above 70k here in Chennai.
If you want a loud tiger like ROAR and a performance comparable with today's air cooled 150cc bikes, then it is all the way to the BOSS, Shogun !!!
DOUBT/QUESTION: Did the Shogun ever launched with TVS Badges ???

Voted for Yamaha - RX.
Remebered RX in those college days which used to produce unique firing sound as soon as you start it and it was a head turner (for firing offcourse) when full throttle....

Yes you are right,The RX Z costs a whopping 70K whereas the Shogun costs 30K.For that price difference we can mod it like hell ! My pick will be the Shogun bro.It's engine performance and Roar can make many 4 stroke bikes (Including some 2 strokes) pee on their Pants !! No Offence meant to Owners It and the Yammie had Unique Respect for Each other.On your question,No It Didn't but TVS was the whole R&D for the Shogun and TVS Manufactured it in the name "Suzuki" and not "TVS Suzuki" and It was 100% Indian whereas the Samurai was Japanese.That's why Enthusiasts call it TVS Shogun.And It was also popularly known as TVS Shogun rather than Suzuki Shogun.Thank you

Spares for SHOGUN ???
Without spares esp. engine spares, you will lose the 'performance', 'roar' and finally the "LIFE OF THE BIKE".

Voted RX-Z, for 2 reasons
1) Spare parts availability
2) Balanced performance & FE (to be crisp, efficiency)

I love Shogun for it's raw power and the louder exhaust note. I wish Suzuki shouldn't have stopped (even before the strict pollution norms were employed) the production. Atleast they should have supported with spare parts.

That's why Enthusiasts call it TVS Shogun.And It was also popularly known as TVS Shogun rather than Suzuki Shogun.
Who on earth calling TVS Shogun? From my experience people do call TVS Max 100R (2003+ manufactured) as Suzuki Max 100R. Be it Samurai, Shogun, Shaolin, Fiero, these names are more sweeter when it is prefixed with "Suzuki"
