Rantac 150, Omez 20, and a good swig of Digene.

That's what I am having for the acidity caused due to the envy from the above photos.

Nomad, way to go.

I am also from hyd, i booked my bike at banajara hills ktm, booking no is 1. Yes this is one of the reasons for delays in deliveries in hyd but the main reason is that they are sending the first lot of bikes to the cities with higher booking nos like Pune, Bangalore and kerela. There hare hardly 50 bookings in hyd. If your booking number is less then 15 u may expect the bike in 3rd week.

And one more internal news which i hav is that the price for the bike after September will be 30k extra. I was at the showroom an hour bak.

A price increase of 30,000 INR so soon

This is really a very steep increase. Especially, considering that BAJAJ-KTM did not hike the price of DUKE 200 much.

i don't think it would be soo soon.. even the first lot hasn't been delivered yet..
they will surely wait for a couple batches to go into the market and then revise the pricing..

He's kinda busy with the ride i suppose..

Btw a seperate thread where the actual owners could provide the datails would have been highly helpful, than posting in this thread where it will be lost in all the discussion..

Re: Duke 390: Long Term Ride Review

Guys whats the cost of booking 390? n whats the waiting period?
Does the dealer charge any penalty for cancelling after a month, the chances are I have a high probability of cancelling it

The reason is I already Booked Ninja 300 with a waiting period of 45 days.. But now I am confused b/w 390 n 300.. I love fairings n just love the 300 but the price of duke n its ABS just blew me away

Planning to book the bike from Cochin by next week or so, hope there is a bike for Test drive.

[MENTION=10454]MG[/MENTION] the ride would be a mix of city as well as highway..i have been driving P200 DTSi for 3 years and the sporty position of the bike has already taken its toll. I know the ride quality of D390 is not as luxurious as TB500 but I dont want to put all my weight on my wrists and shoulders..and this is the only bike which is a complete package as per my budget..!!

Cancellation Charges are 4K. If you have booked a Ninja 300 and are planning to Swap, either ways from KTM to Ninja or vis-a-versa, I don't expect you will charged cancellation, its a swap not a cancellation. I was planning to swap too but VFM is after all VFM. Hence am sticking with KTM.
My biggest crib with the KTM is the range..I still ride the first batch Pulsar 180 with a 18 litre tank which has more than 650 Km and with KTM 390 range down to 230 or so kms, will have to carry a few litres can while touring which will help improve the range to about 300 Kms.

If any one in the forum know if the same is case in Hyderabad? I am waiting for the bike since its announced and waiting for getting my hands over it.

You cant have a test ride bike on roads without a RTO approval.

Coming to the delay, None of the cities except Pune has got the deliveries. And its obvious why Pune got its first deliveries.
As per KTM Begumpet, deliveries in Hyderabad are expected to be end of this month and possible chance of early.

Heard the same thing from the Chennai showroom.. They're expecting the first lot to arrive by last week of August..
