    re: KTM Duke 390 Review & first impression: xBhp Exclusive

    Hi guys!!

    Could someone compare the gear ratios of the 390 and the 200??
    That should let us know the extent of taller or shorter gearing the 390 has.
    Also, please let me know if someone knows the P220 gear ratio.

    Cheers

      Who will make the tyres of Duke 390 in India?
      They are Metezler Tyres, they are not made in India.

      If the Suspension system of the WP is Made by Endurance Automotive Components Manufacturer, Aluminium Die Casting Manufacturer in India & I heard from somewhere that ABS Unit of BOSOH will be Made by Bybre at their Pune Plant.

      I guess the Melezler tyres will be made by MRF in India.

      thats why product is taking so much of time.

      Pardon me if i am wrong.

      Just a moment...

        I would definitely go for this beast..
        Loved the D200 and its fully naked style..
        and add to that another 20 bhp.. n you would get something incredible..
        Ride safe and have fun.

            The capacity of fully faired ktm is still not confirmed.. It may be RC 200/250/390 and it is quite some time away....

              Today is 25th. I guess official bookings will commence today. This was also conveyed to me by a KTM Showroom Manager.
              Any news of launch in Auto Expo??

                    Nope, no news of that as of now, but if it's coming may be they'll start up with RC 200/250. . .

                      All dealers are making fool of customers. Since March one of the Delhi dealer have been taking booking advance giving wrong dates and false promises. At least KTM should be strict about there dealers who are taking money from the customers. Even the dealers have put wrong date in their official Facebook pages. Different dealers giving different dates and have been taking different advance for booking. No regularisation of these dealers as KTM officials have no control over them.

                        I've been told a June launch by my dealer since the start. Seems like it might be launched on 8 th June at the orange day in mumbai

                          June is for sure as the auto magazines like autocar zig wheels have said June and I have seen these two journals have authentic report and they are serious. If they have no idea they straightway say its expected....but the dealers have different talk at different places as we their convenience and there profit making strategy.

                            ktm would be stupid not to make a faired version of these.

                            as for me i like them the way they are, with few tweaks: half fairing for wind protection, soft comfy seat.

                              Faired version is next step. If the business model for naked is successful and then if there is good demand for faired one then there is no reason why it should not come. But it's after completion of step one.

                                The frames for naked versions and the faired versions are different..
                                if any faired verision would come, it would not be based on the naked dukes..
                                the racing style category is different.. Ktm would surely launch one or two in the near future.. India has started growing above the economy barrier and the companys know this thing..
                                Ride safe and have fun.
