    Yes it is said to be the spy pic of D690 but can hope the D350 is close to this in looks.

    At times, i get this urge to go and get a 200, but controlling with difficulty. My C5 is helping me to that, till the D350 sees the light of the day.
    Dude u can buy the D200 for a couple of years and then get the D350.

    You can get a good deal out of your D200 by the time D350 comes in the town.

      IMO it needs a change in handlebars and seat to start on track. Rest i am not a pro-biker/racer so dont know much about comparing it with r15 on track.
      Well the Duke and the R15 will never be raced professionaly against each other. However if lap times are on par with the R15 and fun to ride then the duke can be considered a good weekend track day tool as well.

      Riding posture may be a disadvantage but for a track day the fun factor is what is most important.

                Been contemplating the same, but hesitant based on past experience.

                Had bought a new Machismo 350. Soon the Classic 500 was launched in india, which i had always wanted. Immediately booked one, and had issues selling the machismo to raise fund for the C5. Not confident to repeat the process again. Duke 200 - although impressive and inviting, i guess i would still wait and go for the Duke 350. Hoping it somewhere towards the start of 2013, if the world survives 2012.
                Am sure i can do with my C5 till then.

                              My first pic of my Duke on XBHP. Took it to office today at peak rush hour, absolutely no problem dealing with the Bangalore traffic. Was happy to see a fellow Duker at Marathahalli... i wonder if he is an XBHPian
