sorry for the typo the cost was 5554rs...no labour charge

Hey Guys,

M new to the group and reside in Borivali (Mumbai)

Got my KTM duke on Friday 24th Feb 2011 and got it registered in the next week at RTO - number MH-02-CN-8006

Till now clocked 650 kms with a short Trip to Igatpuri on Sat and return on Sunday evening to Mumbai (halt at Igatpuri - Dew Drops)

Route - Mumbai - Manor - Kherdi - Kasara - Igatpuri
Return - Igatpuri - Kasara - Shahpur - Thane - Mumbai
(290 kms)

Handling is superb, connnering on Kasara Ghats was mind blowing.
Speed - kept it between 6k & 7k RPM
Mileage recd throuht out the trip (highway run)- 35kmpl
City Mileage - 42kmpl (if kept under 5k or 6k RPM)

Touring is possible on this bike,
Was expecting some windblast however didnt felt it much,
City Riding - Fun to ride but be safe as the acceleration is very aggresive and very tempting to accelerate more

It was awesome ride to Igatpuri (specially climbing Kasara Ghat).... soon will go on for a short night ride (Dhaba ride) - approx 200 kms: to & fro

getting it serviced hopefully in this week or next week

Can you put up the pics of crash pad?
Also, if you have the cost breakup, please let us know.
The tank pad looks awesome

Dealer location for common add-ons for the duke?

Got my Duke two weeks ago, and have clocked over 1200 kms now. First service done. Bike still doing great, and nothing dissapoints yet.

A question for the Mumbaikar Duke owners, where can i get a good tank pad (that doesnt empty my pockets) and a seat cover, since there are cats in my building, and they tend to scratch the seats some times. Also during long rides the stiff cushioning can get a little tiring and a added confort to the rear is always welcome. Also, there are a few owners in other cities who are doing a 3M coating job on the bike, and if anyone knows reliable people in Mumbai who can handle a bike well, i'm all ears.

I'm also looking forward to adding the original crash pads and would like to know if any of the KTM stores have got them here yet?

Congrats Rafa!

The powerparts are trickling in - but are going to drill a deep hole in the pockets

15000 as mentioned by somone else on this.

25 for the front, 30 for the rear. didn't ask how much with pillion on etc.

A "khat" kind of noise does show up when going over a speed breaker or a cut in the road. Had taken it to ther service center to have it checked. They could not reproduce the issue. Neither could I. I will try to notice the sound again after I finish work (at 2:30 am)

No bush was placed for the foot rest - just an extra washer.

I got the PP film on my tank (designated place for a tank pad) and on the front of the front mud guard - cost around 700 INR.

sir it was a pleasure meeting you on Sunday morning. Though it was a fleeting meet, not sure if you would still be able to recall me.

I was at the PBK outlet on Sunday morning to be a part of some video shoot and I was shown 80 odd dukes in the basements of PBK Indiranagar and 3 guys were taking them to the Khivraj showrooms for deliveries.

I personally did not like the way they were riding it out of the basement though!

Power parts/wear have started arriving but definitely they are very highly priced.

A KTM jacket off ktmhutt.com costs $199 (they do not ship to India though)

Important: A price hike is around the corner. Bookings are going to stop soon. Back log cleared. Some promotions in the media and then the Duke is going to cost more - say by 20/30K

I read in facebook KTM fanpage that two riders have completed 1000 miles in less than 24 hours on DUKE, anyone got any more info on that ? :-/

Really? From where did you get this information? Showroom or Media or some contacts?

I think this info was clear from the starting itself, it was clearly said at the launch that this was an introductory price only, and original price will be higher than this. But the time period for the introductory price wasn't mentioned i think.
Correct me if i'm wrong

you are correct. But i am wondering if the new price & the date for the hike have been officially released?

Showroom manager was talking about it.

Ya, servicing & repairs is something that bound to be bothersome.......riding all the way to tvm is not appealing.

but i heard from some friends that there is a PBK in Kochi, in edapally .....gotta confrim it though

Minor things like engine oil change,brake oil, coolant fillin/bleeding is pretty straight forward and can be done with proper care and parts.

U can check out the manual for KTM 125 at KTM's site. It's the same as 200.

I don't know why every thing comes costly for us ... In china also ktm (jacket+pant) costly 10k.

Buy a dozen of them and sell it here I would buy one off you. Seriously contending to buy the KTM Jacket from US (someone was to get it for me - but I did not buy it online as I was hoping the India jackets would be priced better - but no!)

Great meeting all you KTM guys on Sunday. And @Shubz get ready for a Sunday dash...
