      wrapmyride vinyl stickering won't cause you any issue's with the cops. Don't worry, happily go ahead... the guys in that are damn cooperative, you can talk to them and further customize the design to your liking.

        Hello,
        I have been using a KTM for about three years now. And if you ask me, i personally feel Bajaj can try to imitate the duke but it's not going to come out like the duke.
        The Duke has minor issues, but it's not a reason to not buy the bike.
        The bike faces a problem of heating when it's riden in the city. You will feel the heat near your legs but it's not very bad.
        The chain tends to hit the rubber slider on the arms holding the rear wheel. It makes an irritating sound that may get you paranoid but over time you'll get habbitted.
        My bike goes approx 33 kmpl.
        I love the feel of the bike, maybe you too will...

          Thank you for your input buddy. I won't be customizing. Saw a Ken block edition vinyl in that site

            I bought the 2016 model.Mileage is 38KMPL in Bangalore city .ALso no issues other than minor heat in the legs but nothing to worry about.Its a 200CC beast so you will face it.
            Do take a TD coz the suspension is pretty hard.If you like it then go ahead.Handling is epic due to stiff suspension.

                Anyone using KTM bike covers? Is it good and how is the quality? How much does it cost? Thank you in advance.

                  Quality isn't that great, material is cheap polyester, prone to rips over time. Costs some ><=2000~ bucks. You're better off getting it either from eBay the same for less price.

                  Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                  The girl said, 'NO!'


                  And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

                    Very true. For 2000 bucks you could get a custom made high density cover from a local tarp shop. Don't buy the oem cover it's like a thin lingerie 😆

                      2000₹? I thought it was under 800. Introductory price was 720. I will buy some other cover then. Checked local store but quality wasn't great.

                          Beautiful. Last I checked here a couple of months back, they quoted 1450 for the cover. Do post your review too, don't think it's worth the for the quality it offers, at least examining closer. Your long term user insights can help folks here, do post a review.

                            The material is thin. But it does the job pretty well. I actually have couple of bikes-cbr and rc 390. One of them is always covered by this cover. The dust does not enter inside. Even the water does not enter even a bit. It is a bit over size for rc and touches the floor. But in case of cbr it is a tight fit.

                              Do you suggest it for me? Or should I go with some other cover?
