Just got a mail from KTM Langford, that they are organizing an event colled DO IT YOURSELF, where they bring an KTM engineer and we can can blow out all the questions on him. As a part of that event, they are also gonna share product updates on RC8 and D390. So, hope I get enough info about D390 and post it here.

And its happening in India like they did with Duke 200 where you guys were present? That means launch is very much round the corner.Leave a comment:

The brakes & tyre profile is exactly the same as that of D200?? Shouldn't it have a better brakes than D200? Or is this Cost saving techniqueLeave a comment:

Comparing the prices of Duke 200 and 390 at the places where it's launched already..the media says it should be around 40-60K Rs extra only. Which makes it around 2.2 or 2.3L on road price. But honestly speaking, I don't know how they will manage it but I've got some gut feeling it would surely be below 2.3L
For eg. In UK 200 costs 4195 GBP = 3,47,797 Rs while 390 is 4500 GBP = 3,73,084 Rs. So the difference comes out = 25287Rs only. Seriously??
Lets try Austria..200 is for 4698 Eu = 3,32,762 Rs while 390 is for 5298 Eu = 3,75,261 Rs. So what's the difference..? oh it's 42,499 only..?
So by the looks of it..since it's made in India..I don't think the cost can go over 2.2-2.3L OTR. But I'm not from KTM so can't do anything if they launch it at higher price

10000 for the engine seems too less if you ask me. I mean its not just an overbored engine. Also do you think the ABS will add up just 15000? I expect to be expensive than that as well as its from Bosch. My guess is that D390 will(should) be in the 2.5l(OTR) region.Originally posted by iNaresh View PostLeave a comment:

Sit on the D200 and seeOriginally posted by adabass View Post
I understand your concern, I too suffer from the same problem.
Dude, what analysis you have got, brilliant. So dont you thing it will straight away slaughter the CBR 250 ABS priced around that price??? God Save the CBR and D200(now that it is only 60 lesser than its big brother)Originally posted by iNaresh View Post
Completely OT: Years ago, there was only one super brain(read Kamalesh Kanda) who almost graduated to having a Wax statue in XBHP HQ. Looks like nowadays, even Pragati Maidan in Delhi and Palace Grounds in Bangalore are not sufficient to the number of statues that gonna crop up. God save XBHP, I swear. It feels even worse commenting on posts with crap intellectual stuff and analysis that only worked in Andromeda.Leave a comment:
