Images of the upcoming TVS-BMW motorcycle have been leaked on the internet. The sub-500cc TVS-BMW motorcycle was caught testing in Germany. Although both the manufacturers have been very secretive about the details of the bike it is expected that it will be powered by a 300cc, water-cooled, single-cylinder motor. According to the person who clicked the spy shots it features a back-to-front cylinder with the exhaust beginning from the rear of the engine similar to the Yamaha YZ450F.

Although the test mule was heavily disguised one could see details like a single headlamp, USD forks, alloy wheels, Michelin tyres, disc brakes at front and rear and a side-slung exhaust with a hefty muffler. The TVS-BMW motorcycle will be pitched against the KTM 390 Duke and the Kawasaki Z300 in the international market. In fact, BMW test riders were also spotted testing the KTM 390 Duke probably to compare the performance of both the machines. The TVS-BMW motorcycle is expected to make its debut at the 2015 EICMA or INTERMOT motorcycle show later this year with an official launch by mid-2016.
