    So, I bet 110/70 R 17 M/C 54H TL/150/60 R 17 M/C 66H TL would be sufficient for the Duke.

    BTW I was going through the 200NS thread and some guy has done Carbon Fibre mod to his bike. Looks super cool. You should check it out

      Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.

        Ya it looks cook. But I have seen the same on a Duke earlier in this thread also. I think it's of our Foreign friend who have a Green naked Kawasaki as well along with the Duke.

                  All consumables ill be charged during free service .. only service labour is free ..same with all cars and bikes in this world except chevy spark and beat ..

                  Top speed indicated is 138 .. reaches 140 but limiter brings it back to 138-136 ...few riders have taken it past 140 .. rider weight and wind also matter a lot ...

                  Met rahul and saw his bike in real .. decal quality is top notch .. I plan to use the same to wrap up the tail section, side panels and radiator sides ..

                    That sounds quite believable in fact!!! So what was your riding style for majority of the time? Easy riding with some high speed blasts now and then? And what kinda travel like on the highway or city roads?

                      That was tested on a rainy day bro...In dry conditions its 136-139 kph.
                      They've also mentioned it there on there online page.

                        Anyone know how to clean the matt black parts like the rear mudguard and the lowest part of the fork where WP is embossed? It's impossible to clean completely with all the much the bike has accumulated in the rains. Any bright ideas?

                          Easy riding with the occasional revving.. that being said, I have been redlining it quite a bit this time around, as I was away from the bike for quite some time... This entire 278kms was on city roads

                            All issues are minor and wahtever issues are there are being taken care of by ktm svc very nicely.fe varies largely from 30-45.depends on how is you hand on throttle.topspeed is 130(true) and speedo is 134.
                            thanks alot for the info ynike

                              Bajaj claims 138 , so there is no way any bike can get to higher true speed than what the company claims .. rahuldevnath told me that he had taken his ns to a speedo indicated 156kmph ...Ideal top speed testing conditions are -
                              --55-60kgs rider
                              -- tyres properly inflated
                              -- mirrors , saree guard, and hugger removed
                              -- only about 2ltrs of petrol in tank
                              -- riding gears
                              -- full crouched position
                              -- perfect upshifts at redine without hitting the limiter ..
                              -- flat road with minimum or no wind ...
                              The list goes on and on
                              Very diff to get all this together..
                              Anyways, naked bikes are not about top speeds .. I am looking for a bigger rear sprocket to reduce its top speed and increase its acceleation

                              Use dashboard polish for all those parts .. they will look better than new after applying it ..
