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

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

    Cheers!!!

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

    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..

    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.

    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

    i know its a different product and shouldnt be discussed here. deep inside me, i support D390 to P375 even though they are sisters.
    To stay the least, from the renditions, it looks much enticing than D390. Just hope they dont spoil the look by puttin some dubious looking styling elements like they did on NS
    And that's a killer blue rendering done by Autocar!

    During first ride events, the vehicles are initial batch or prototype only to get a media preview or response. The vehicle is given for a very short duration to get a response.
    A Road test event is more thorough where the vehicle is with the reviewer for much longer and they are permitted to do tests.
    This is true globally for cars and now across all magazines. Hope this helps.
