          The auto expo is a biennial event. Then 2nd being held on the 25 th of May at Chennai, known as the Chennai auto expo...a good platform for an Indian launch!

            Chennai auto expo is crap! its just namesake. I dont think such a launch can happen here. Besides no vehicle has been launched at Chennai auto expo AFAIK.
            Regardless, Life shall go on.

              Why else would ktm india send this wallpaper to their fans on 1 St May?

                I dont know dude! The place is not even big enough to hold a small press conference. For launching a new bike, they need to buy the entire space!
                I worked at Porsche here, even the people who come down to see the show on press day are not the clientele that they would look for.

                But if it is held here, I will be there!

                P.S. I read at other places that the launch is in June.

                  According to overdrive launch is in May end sometime followed by deliveries by June. I booked mine in the 2nd week of April and I am seriously running out of patience as I sold my cbr 250r 2 weeks ago anticipating the launch in April and May delivery...:banghead::banghead:

                    i have plans to buy a 2nd bike for myself by year end - i'm confused over KTM-390 (Value for money with ABS) or Ninja 300R (a very potent machine albeit a bit expensive), i can afford both with a bit of loan from bank. will keep reading user reviews and try a test ride for both before making up my mind.

                      Being a Store manager at KTM Ahmedabad.
                      I can only say that this bike will make many people happy.
                      As of now there is not Faired or dual purpose version comming of duke 390.
                      It will share the same trellis frame of 125&200 and the same brakes and everything else.
                      And dont be surprised if u see the MRF tyres in 390.


                      And the Bike is scheduled to come in the 1st or 2nd week of June.
                      I am also very eagerly waiting for this crotch rocket as sunny bhai said.

                          If I have a thought like you, I will stick to D390, bcoz of many reasons. But only concern is Fairing . Always D390 is a head of N300R.
                          KTM Lover,

                                ^^ according to my understand, it's the same category as Duke 200 (apart from the power part)

                                with street style sitting posture, offroad type suspension, and sports tires, so it's kind of an all rounder you can say.
                                Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.
