    Just wanna know how it looks and effect on handling..!

    I've got some spare tyres of my ninja 650 of 160 & 180.. Wanna try them on duke
    Tried. The alloy wheel is too thin for a 160 rear tyre. Even 160 looks similar to stock. 180 wont fit at-all.



    Anyone tried installing RC bodykit in their Dukes?
    Street racing is for Squids trying to make up for their small equipment

            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.


            THE END

                My Duke arrived at the dealership today. I did a quick PDI at the godown. There were 3 white Duke 390's and a lone Black one besides several Duke 200's & RC 200's. The bike has 1 Km on the odo. Slipper clutch was quite easy on the hands. Could not check the brakes but everything else was ok. Mirrors and Hand Guards were not yet installed. They said it will be done once the bike is washed and polished. Returned home for lunch and then to the bank to do the NEFT transfer for the balance amount. I then had to wait till the dealer received the funds. I got the sms at 3:15 PM but they only gave me the papers for registration at 4:15 PM. From there rushed to United India for insurance. The dealer only had the option of Bajaj Allianz and they didn't offer a Zero Dep policy. Their quote was Rs.4700/- for the normal policy. It managed to get the Zero Dep from United India around Rs.4100/-. Then handed over the papers to my agent to get the registration done tomorrow. Hopefully the registration will be done by noon and I should be riding the bike tomorrow PM.

                  Hello guys. I am researching on the duke 390 and deciding on making the purchase. Just wanted to know if the Gurgaon dealer at Iffco chowk is decent or should I head towards Delhi to get the bike. I am a little sceptical as to whether the experience of getting the duke will be up to my expectations here in gurgaon. I also plan to get a few things directly from the dealer such as tank pad protection. I also want to put a 3M covering on the tank. Any suggestions on the same will be appreciated. Later I will get crash bobbins and a paddock stand also. I will improvise a windscreen too. I am liking the screen on pulsar as. Let's see I am thinking ahead probably. Please let me know a checklist at the purchase time and whether the Gurgaon dealer is good bad or ugly. Thanks & cheers. J.

                    Collected the bike today after getting the registration done. I'm officially a Duke 390 owner now. Will shortly start my ownership thread.

                      Any one with a head mask mod? I am really out growing on the head mask and wonder if we can replace it with some thing else. May be RC's head mask! any suggestions?

                            Hey, I think you should try KTM Lajpat Nagar, Delhi. The staff is nice and might give u a sweet deal if you persist.

                            Also, IMO a Delhi Registration has its own benefits.

                            All the best

                                Hi, last week, I had inquired about the price. The Total cost - On Road Price in Mysore is 2.27 lakhs without accessories. Including the price of accessories which is worth 7-8k, the price is 2.34 lakhs.

                                However in Bangalore, the on-road price is 2.25 lakhs without accessories. Hope it helps !!
