    Great!! I guess all Xbhpians, more or less, share the same characteristics
    Well, I can understand your desperation as I too had gone through such phase; who doesn't?!! But now I am actually desperate to upgrade my bike & Duke 390 seems to be the 'one'. Of course, it'll depend on a lot of factors, still, might not wait till the release of P375

    Great news there vidhya! I can see your enthusiasm by your activeness in only this particular thread I know that last year KTM organized Orange Day for duke owners & enthusiasts, but I am not sure if '22nd June, every year' is the catch phrase. Maybe they are planning to launch the 'pint-sized' beast by organizing one and of course D390 launch deserves 'the crowd'. Not sure though

    Do you guys think the D390 will get detuned for India? Due to lowering of the (higher)compression ratio which currently requires 95RON fuel whereas we run on 89-91RON?

    KTM Duke 390 to be launched on June 25

    The Bike enthusiasts has been eagerly waiting for the arrival of the KTM Duke 390, and now it seems like the wait is going to get over soon. KTM India's official facebook page has teased an image indicating the launch date of the highly anticipated sportsbike of the year. The motorcycle is slated to be launched on June 25.




    If the company manages to price the Duke 390 competitive, as it earlier had done at the launch of KTM Duke 200, it will surely attract the buyers. The sportsbike is powered by a 373cc single cylinder injected liquid cooled engine, which is capable of developing 44PS and 35Nm of top torque. The engine of the Sportsbike is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox.


    The power to weight ratio of the sportsbike stands at a class leading 316PS/tonne!, and it will sprint from 0 to 100kmph in under 7 seconds, and can attain a top speed of 170kmph. It is expected to be priced around Rs. 2.5lakh for the Indian buyers. In first look, the Duke 390 looks quite similar to that of Duke 200, although it has a different body graphics as it gets a stickier set of Metzler rubbers.

    That was a worst experience years ago...following which the dealership at vashi was shutting down. I've already booked at lower parel dealership as I had a contact there. He has assured me quick delivery as soon as the launch is done

    +1 to that. I had taken a test drive and gone to book the pulsar 220Fi with booking amount in hand. They made me fill a form at probiking saying they'll revert in 3 months and never contacted me again. sub dealers were charging 13000 rs as 'on' money.
