    @JayD- save those nails…your wish will be fulfilled. If there's one automaker that prices its products lower than expectations, it's Bajaj!
    @sundarvignesh less BASSy? The D200 doesnt have any bass to begin with! Do you mean less treble?

    You sound motivating, dude!!

    I wanted to highlight the same.. It is so distinct that even in traffic conditions I can make out that a duke is on trail.

    i ve heard the sound ( please dont ask me how :P ) its a bit less bass"y" than the d200 ..

    ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

    if the d200 is a 2 stroke moped then the d390 sounds like a 4 stroke moped....im sorry i dont know how to put it in words here...but trust me there is a difference (description credit goes to a friend on xbhp )

    Sound makes lot of difference. As per website reports difficult to rely the sound is better with better Bass. Now less than 24 hrs all queries will be answered.

    [MENTION=55137]I_Live2Ride[/MENTION] - Sounds different compared to the D200 from the videos but we cannot possibly base our judgements on those low quality videos. But there should be a lot of after market options available considering that its a global bike. It already has akra as an option. Leo vince will catch up soon i guess.

    Awaiting Elixir.

    PS: I know the bike has not been launched yet in India and I have not yet got the chance to view D390's videos on youtube...
    It's different. Dunno how much and how but all reviews say it's quite loud. From some youtube vids it sounds deeper and gruntier.

    I just hope it sounds way different than D200 as that sounds like a damn insect!

    EDIT: Someone in Goa who saw the test mule said on the GEARS page it sounded like a superbike! .D
