                I wouldn't mind reading your 'one month' experience. Also you could share some light on the engine heating issues, comparing them to bikes you own/ridden would be idle. Read somewhere the bike stalls due to over heating, any experiences?

                  Been hearing a lot about start up issues. Can you explain how or what exactly, if you are facing the same?
                  Is it that, the bike takes a sweet 4-5secs to start or at times it just refuses to come to life? Another thing would be bumper to bumper traffic jams for 3-4 kms with the ambient temp being a good 40-45 degrees, how bad the heat would be from the engine in such situations?

                  I don't know if you have faced any of the above just that having ridden the bike for over a month you might have some idea about its behavior.

                  Thanks in advance.

                    Hi there all!

                    Got the bike!

                    I am from Kolkata, booked the bike at Kharagpur to avoid the long queues at Kolkata dealerships. Got the bike on 4th Sep. Click image for larger version Name: IMG_0367edit.jpg Views: 1 Size: 96.6 KB ID: 1857651 Will put up a detailed review when I get time. Looking forward to sharing my experiences, while also getting help from you guys to maintain this Duke.

                          Congrats. Wise move to book it in Kharagpur. I havent heard of any bikes being delivered from Kolkata dealerships. Any how at least we have one bike in Kolkata.
