    I myself have booked the bike on 28th July @ KTM South Mumbai, at that time they had received 2 bikes for deliveries, which are now in the hands of their owners..

    I think we would receive our bikes between mid Oct to Nov...

    Lets just hope that the LOT size is healthy for each consignment..
    Thanks a lot for your reply but I have even got worse after reading mid oct to nov 😪

      Have a lot of hopes on this one, considering i've never ever taken a ride on a duke 200 either.

      Surprisingly they told me that the bike will be delivered within October. How can that be, when their
      booking agreement says a minimum of 3 months waiting??

      I have a little OT question guys.....I was told that I cant get the bike registered in Delhi without having a
      local proof of residence (Lease agreement not excepted)......the sales girl was dumb enough to tell me
      that I should get the bike on temp. registration and ride it all the way to jammu (Im from J&K) to get it registered and
      then ride back .......The other more feasible option is to open a bank account in a nationalised bank
      with the local address of Delhi......Is this really required guys?? Do I have any other option?
      Check with any RTO agent or RTO Office. Usually an affidavit will do the job for the scenario you have.

        The bend in the exhaust in below pic doesn't look like what we have seen before, have they modified it now to be inconspicuous or is this for euro version?

        The exact link to that picture is not coming but look at the pic45 in above llink.

        I like the other alternate graphics in the above pics which just says KTM and Duke where 390 is painted now.

            This bend looks exactly like the bend seen on the test bikes. Can you kindly share what difference did you spot?

              Yes, that's the pic I was talking about. These are D390 pics and do you see that neat deformation in exhaust pipe which if I remember correctly was kind of ugly looking before.

              Alright, they are same. I checked the older images and the bend is similar.

              BTW, I heard that 4 D390 deliveries are happening in Bangalore today. So the maal is slowly trickling in.

                Hi JayD, thanks for the consolation bro. I have booked mine in Coimbatore KTM and I am booking No 1. I actually paid the booking on June 22nd and here the booking amount paid was half the bike's price. Total bookings were around some 15 bikes as per showroom 2 months ago, now can be some 25 or 30 and promised delivery date is Sep 15th or max 20th (their clause itself gets over in 2 days after that). I have not waited with so much anticipation for anything so far in my life. Hope its lives up to its expectations!!!

                        [MENTION=36598]deathrider142[/MENTION] , any idea if they plan to charge the cancellation charges. Last i heard from one of the dealers is that all the NCR dealers were contemplating on what to do with the cancellation charges as they were facing pressure from customers.

                          I would say that those who have paid booking amount to Bajaj, make a group in FB & keep putting pressure on the Bajaj. Then on a pre-decided day, just visit the respective dealers & have some words regarding group cancellation.

                            I'm in the same boat as you guys are.. Thinking of cancelling the booking.. It seems that the dealers have no clue or updates from Bajaj / KTM.

                              I don't understand why you guys want to cancel just because the dealer couldn't give your delivery before the expected date. Please understand that the dealers don't have much idea of when they might get their quota too and among them also there is lot of pushing/shoving and influence of big dealers vis-a-vis smaller dealers and on top of that there is KTM demand to export as much as possible.
                              You just go and tell them that you will not entertain any cancellation charge here afterwards because of the long wait. Or you can try asking them to keep 5k as booking and refund the rest if the amount is what is bothering you.

                                im in no hurry. reason - money not yet ready. hope the delivery takes its own sweet time. i m in dreams. cant see that bike on road when i will be waiting and waiting for cash. sorry brothers. im happy for the delay. let it come slowly.... there is sweetness in getting it slowly...
