    even though both the bikes belong to different segment, i am getting tempted towards Hyosung GV250 also.
    It will all drill down to D390's pricing for me. price is the only comparision factor for me here.

        I cannot rate on the autenticity of this bit of news but a friend of mine who visited the Indranagar KTM here in Bangalore was supposedly told that the on road price would be 2.53 lakhs in bangalore. He however also supposedly said that it would take 4-6 weeks for 1st delivery.

          any news on the on road price tag? 2.53 seems a tad high ... anyone from Chennai have any idea as to when the bookings commence?
          No its not about speed, its about turning and shifting those gears!

            +1 to that. 2.53 looks high, it roughly translates to same price in Chennai and 2.4 in Pune. makin it 2.25 ExShowroom (launch price). knowing KTM, the price may go up to 2.5 ex within no time. that will take the faired version (whenever its launching) to 3L

              Any thing above 2.3lacs OTR for 390 is like bonus for KTM-Bajaj.

                    2.5L does seem bit over the top. Hope they price it lower A OTR price of 2.25L would be good.

                      Gurgaon and Bangalore both dealers seem to be saying 2.5. Are we finally reaching a market price?

                        One thing i noted in posters of 390 is that it has different exhaust from 200 (extended one), same was confirmed by SE and he also said that black wheels will be an option along with orange. Lets see in somedays time if this is true

                          Thats aftermarket exhaust. I have seen test mule in Pune.

                            How does it look in real. I think it do not go with the looks of 390 in picture, but maybe it looks good in real.

                              Yes and the end can doesn't seem like an aftermarket, but more in the lines of 690 duke. And if the test mules are also spotted with these as hammer said, i fear it as an after effect of stricter emission norm (I hope its not)

                                thank god it has black alloys as an option!.... who here would prefer "orange" ? im not into orange as it will attract too much "unwanted" attention (not that the black alloys wont )
