re: KTM Duke 390 Review & first impression: xBhp Exclusive
so its on 25th i will decide whether i can go for D390 or i should go for D200. keeping my fingers crossed.Originally posted by mohitahuja View PostI wouldn't be surprised if they launch it on 25th May at the auto expo. They have marked that in the may calendar on the same page and there is no event or holiday on that day other than the auto expo AFAIK
Bajaj, please surprise the world with D390's pricing (i am being greedy here :-D )

22-26 models in 3 years --> 2 products in every 3 monthsOriginally posted by nelson_sanjoy View PostThe KTM guys have put-up a stall inside our office premises(Prestige Tech Park - Outer ring road) with a Duke 200 with all accessories.
Spoke to the main-guy for about 5 mins. He was KTM-trained and sounded knowledgeable specially about the products and about KTM's plans.
He was saying that KTM would be launching all their products(around 22-26 models) in India within 3-5 yrs. Duke 200 was to taste the response from India customers.
Duke 390 is coming by June-July time-frame and would have a waiting period for 60-90 days.
He had no info on the adventure version which I was very eagerly looking for. Price quoted by him is 2.5 -2.6 L Bangalore (on road)
I just forgot his name ,will update once I go down again but at-least I got some first-had info ...
OT : Ninja 300 is Rs4,11,800 Bangalore (on road)
22-26 models in 4 years --> new product every alternative month
22-26 models in 5 years --> new product every quarter.
None of these looks realistic. not sure how knowledgeable this guys is. I remember KTM CEO saying that they have plans to launch one product every 6 months.
If you look at the pipeline, we may expect the following models launching pretty soon:
D390
D200 ABS
D200 Faired
D200 Tourer
D390 Faired
D390 Tourer
Apart from these, introduction of new product means, whole lot of market/ productresearch involved

re: KTM Duke 390 Review & first impression: xBhp Exclusive
Okay, just a query, can some of the members who own the duke 200, list the general issues faced on their experiences with the duke?? In that case, the buyers of the 390 will have a heads up on what things to look for in the bike, when they first test ride it. Also list the issues which you think ahve arose as a result of prolonged riding, like when the bike gets a bit older.
I am intending to get this duke. And i would love to know the weak-points of the bike before i buy it.
Of course everyone knows about the good part, after all its the duke.
Thanks in advance.

re: KTM Duke 390 Review & first impression: xBhp Exclusive
I would like to state the top end of the duke is 170 kmph unless u r v heavy and a free flow kn...akra powerpart slip on exhaust and a windscreen should work wonders for relatively cheaper! And being light and flick able with awesome tyres should make knee down cornering a force of habit!Originally posted by VaibhavPisal View PostOf course its not a fair comparison. but as a buyer these are closest and sort of most complete packages available in India. there are other bikes between these two but are either too expensive or not so good quality. imo these two are top choices if you are interested in 2-5 lac range. thus the comparison.
thanks for insight between two.

GUYS the official Bookings OPEN banners of the 390 have started reaching the showrooms. I was lucky to be in one of the showrooms in Delhi when they received the banner. However, they are not putting them up just yet.
According to sales rep, the 390 will be launched simultaneously worldwide and bikes will be available at all showrooms the same day of the launch a.l.a Apple Style.
Guess the launch is not far away. However, I think atleast a 15 day gap will be there between the official bookings open and the launch day.
