    had a video too for the same. throttle and firing. though the videois taken by a phone camera .. not sure how much justice would that do to the original note.

    Duke throttle n firing - YouTube


    A few first person impression, saddle seat is more comfortable than CBR, sitting position is straight up right, so should be comf to the back, display console tells almost everything about the bike, great quality of the fiber and parts, sexy inverted shocks in the front, gives it a muscular look. Al over LEDs for tail lights and indicators for plush looks.
    I own a CBR but I agree, this would be hell of a bike to have fun around, on roads or in mud ..

    cheerz..
    ride safe and wear helmets..

      "Made in India" can been put on
      pros interms of availability and cost factor, Also the same info can be put under
      cons in terms of product quality. emabarassing truth

      Surprisingly quality has been reviewed positively so far , wish this should continue in producing quality spares too.

            Bookings will start from 1st Feb only. Although there are some dealers who are accepting post dated cheques. Means you can hand over your cheque with date 1-Feb and feel happy to "virtually" book the babe...

              ^^ nothing virtual here mate -- bikes do get alloted to whoever books it & also in some "other" cases

              That is what happened during cbr booking too

                Agreed... But till the date i.e. 1-Feb, you have booked the bike virtually only. (means your actual booking will be done on the date mentioned on PDC)... Just my thought...

                  Oh man, she looks beautiful. Anybody got any info on the kind of customization currently available for this baby? What about the lining on the rims which had KTM written on it? How much would be the cost.

                    Rim Tape as it is called, I guess is on the cards. It being reflective has come under some official bureaucracy and should be out of it soon.

                      KTM Bangalore store

                      At least KTM bangalore store is not accepting any booking as of now ...

                      I hope they deliver it within a month after booking ...

                        It happens vonly in Indiya! Sad to note that some showrooms stoop to this level. Some have unfair advantage over the others!

                              My guess is that the bike should be 1.38-1.40 lacs on road Bangalore...

                              As its around 1.185 times of the ex showroom price...


                              The new Pulsar is quickly on its way and is going to be launched on 30th Jan as per the latest update!! So eager to know more about the top spec Pulsar....

                              Happy Riding
