            As far as I know. Only Duke 390 as of now. Not RC.

              Could very well be the other way around considering this:
              2017 KTM RC 390 And RC 200 Brochure Leaked; Gets More Equipment - NDTV CarAndBike

              The 2017 Rc's could be on sale before the Dukes.

                      From, IGNIS, to Hexa to KTM to what's more, 2017 is one helluva start. Oh and did we forget the Yamaha's trusted quarter liter, "FAJER" (pun intended). Tighten your belts fellas, it's gonna be one rollercoaster ride.

                      Cheers!

                      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

                          Most sources hint at late Jan / early Feb for the Duke 390.

                          The new RC 200 and RC 390 will drop on Jan 19:

                            Sorry for the wrong info earlier. Both the RCs are getting launched. Not the Dukes.

                              I hope they sort out the fueling of the 2017 Duke 390...my 2013 390 was a pain to ride slowly, always jerking juddering etc. On the highways it rode brilliantly but slow speeds was extremely annoying. Till a buddy of mine advised me the powertronic piggy back ecu and oh gawd!! It's all good now... still not perfect but much better than before.

                              I saw a video on YouTube...it says that the 2017 has ride by wire!! This would technically solve the slow speed fueling issue but will also have its own set of issues like dust entering the sensors near the throttle... hope KTM installs a dust cover for the throttle sensor.

                                Aren't the Dukes supposed to be like that? I guess all models have been like. It's highly impatient in low speeds.
