I was about to ask about stability issues, until I read this post. So is the Duke really planted firmly to the tarmac at speeds of more than 130kmph? -
but the owner's manual link provided in the thread says that the turn signal indicator switch automatically returns to position!!!!?!Originally posted by NiXTriX View PostComment

Yes it means that after engaging the signal switch comes to middle on its own. To cut off the indicator you have to press the switch towards forward rather than in opposite direction same as you are pressing the horn.Originally posted by Doga View PostYeah even I was confused after reading it yesterday.

yes an automatic cut off for indicators would have been a big plusLast edited by drrajsodhi; 05-16-2012, 11:59 PM.Comment

Congrats for the Owners of this mean machine, And am craving to get one myself. But i have a small concern. Its elevated Seating i noticed. Am 5' 6" and will i be able to sit in the bike comfortably with my legs reaching the road. Please anyone throw a light on it. thanks,Comment

thanks bro. i am 5' 6" myself but never felt the problem with height. But to feel the real experience you should take test drive and decide then. Do it with pillon and without pillion as height decreases with pillon a liitle bit.Originally posted by MYstIC AdVeNturer View PostComment

You are welcome. I got mine from Bagga Link Karol bagh New Delhi. New lot had been brought a day before to showroom before my purchase. So got a choice to choose mine from 16 new bikes without any waiting period. I think waiting period depends on city. I got mine for 1.35 on road Delhi with everything paid for.Originally posted by MYstIC AdVeNturer View PostComment

hey bro even im 5'6'' onlyOriginally posted by MYstIC AdVeNturer View Post
and when u sit on the bike u can keep only one of ur foot totally only the ground , and that is totally fine , but sometimes i feel difficulty it pushing the bike while taking it from the parking lot , so i get down of the bike and push it back and then sit and start riding , that is all we have to do considering our height
overall it'll be easy to touch the ground with one foot and with both the feet we can touch with the toes !
.
i got mine for 1.37 L
and no waiting period in my place as the stock were ready !
and price and availability of the bike depends from place to place
.
cheers happy ridingComment
