    This is the standard clause. 4k deduction n delivery in 90 days. And it seems bajaj is making full use of this clause.

      If you are yet to book the bike why don't you drive and get a feel for it. Then you can take a call with full information. Cancellation is an issue for those of us who booked it without any reviews/ test drives of the bike

      @ Hyderabad KTM guys, as some have already informed RTA approval is done. It is now only about dealers getting the bikes. I guess we need to take the delivery discussion out of this thread and keep it more on the technical/ ride feedback angle

        It depends upon the dealer and your power of persuasion ;-). I believe there was a person who had the clause removed.

            More pics from Mbai.

            The bike doesnt look too different from the white D200. There were about 6 Dukes in the showroom and my eyes were searchin for couple of secs even after I entered. The orange bits arent too bright like in pics and the black parts hide the orange wheels to an extent

            From my sight-level, I couldnt really tell that there were too many wires peeping out

            Had to go on my haunches to see it closely- the fat cable just under the tank with insulation is heat wrapped and cant be seen unless one searches for it.
            The exhaust pipe dent is quite visible and a bit of an eyesore though! Though no deal-breaker, KTM being one of the leaders in streetfighters should have found a more aesthetic solution. See the 200's are for comparison

            Wires on right side are more visible. Should be routed from inside the trellis

              Thanks for the info

              Today I again called the Cochin showroom, they reduced booking charges from 30k to 25k as I said I don't have much money with me. Now next thing is I gotta somehow persuade them for full refund if I cancel it

              There is a 50% chance that I may cancel because I may have to go Overseas to work

                  Just came back from the Chennai Mogappair showroom. The manager confirmed that deliveries would start by 1st week of September as they are exporting all the vehicles now to foreign countries and the only two vehicles delivered till now are from Pune where the showroom has delivered their display vehicles.

                    So its true ... just like some wise person speculated few pages ago ... its all due to exports getting priority thanks to the falling rupee

                      Well the manager told me that for most of the export countries the monsoon start from September.. so KTM wants to sell as much as vehicles possible before that..

                        I have booked without the 4K clause and I believe I heard may others did too. But that's a prerogative of dealers on how fairly he wants to deal with their customers.

                            @ riazmomin - If you are from Bangalore city, book it at KHIVIRAJ Motors (3 brances, Indiranagar, Langford Rd, Marathahalli) and there is NO cancellation charges, I booked at Indiranagar, stricked the whole cancellation part from that agreement before signing. Got confirmation from the manager that there will be no cancallation

                            Cheers.

                              Already booked mine at KTM Begumpet, Hyderabad. And I have no plans of canceling.

                              Thanks for the information anyways.

                                I see some people are not willing to book the bikes in initial lot [mostly first lot] and rather wait for 2nd or 3rd lot assuming that initial problems would be sorted out.

                                Now question is, if Bajaj is exporting all the initial lots to other countries, then technically we [in India] are not getting initial lots which would in turn mean that most of the problems in initial lots [starting, heat etc..] should be fixed.

                                Some one please clarify...

                                Just FYI - It seems that first lots are already received by UK dealers - The highly anticipated new KTM 390 Duke is now at Crescent - News
