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

    just wondering why none of the reviews are able to give proper acceleration and braking times.top speed is understood due to bad weather.all reviewers were international magazines/auto sites.they should have the equipment necessary for measuring the values.its always 5 to six seconds or five-ish,six-ish etc for 0-100.and all of them did rip the bike hard occasionally in the videos.

    Nikasil coating my friend as mentioned by ktm. Also Metzeler tyres are confirmed unlike motoroids.com being skeptical in the above article.

    Stumbled upon a v good review by visordown.com

    Austria's latest hand-grenade gets lobbed at some lovely wet, bumpy, slippery UK roads...

    The 390 Duke’s 375cc engine benefits from forged piston and a chrome plated cylinder.

    It's so disheartening that it has the same puny body as the D200. Especially for me as I'm 6'1" and I would not like to feel as a bear on a bicycle
    Buy I sooooo want that motor, that performance and the equipment!

    Rumour mills on the net are currently suggesting a 2.35L on road price

    From what I was told by the Dealer KTM is having issues getting RTO approval for the bikes. I hope this is not the case though. Looks like one of the best buys assuming it is less than 2.5 lakhs

    Looking on this thread, I think the expectations of indian bikers from BAJAJ KTM alliance is pretty good hope to see numbers of people playing with there 390 machine on road 😊

    majority of the auto sites are saying, launch in June. as per their wallpaper, it looks like its 25th. this wait looks freakishly short and long at the same time.

    edit: just called KTM guys in Pune, as per them, the launch is going to be in June only. not on 25th. but still i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    Is the launch date confirmed on 25 May at Chennai?
    If anyone has any update on this, kindly share.

    It's been an excruciating & extremely long wait for the DUKE 390.
    That too with it being produced right here in Pune!

    BAJAJ Please Launch it ASAP

    Booked a couple of days ago at KTM showroom at Kanjur Marg. Booking amount Rs. 20K. Waiting period of around 60 days. Final OTR price in Mumbai is not declared, but that showroom lady said that it would be under 2.5 L.

    OT : Can anyone tell me if KTM released carbon decals/sticker set for the 200? I know about the race line stickers but I remember seeing a 200 on Bangalore roads, couple o' times - matte black finish with a few thin red/orange linings. I found it extremely attractive but after asking GOOGLE uncle for a long time, could not get an answer. And yea it resembled the carbon decal they have for RC8 to a great extent. May be a custom paint job!!! If somebody has a pic or a relevant link for the same, kindly post - a feast for the eyes Click image for larger version

    a 30K premium for engine (60k for 390 - 30k for 200)
    20k for ABS
    20k for those Metzlers, (25k for metzler - 5k for MRF)

    makes its a 70k

    takes the price straight to 200000 mark in Pune,

    any price more than this looks like a Bajaj Premium
