          Your review about the 250km ride is just awesome and also realistic without any unwanted appreciation and it's simply superb.

          Thanks for the generous appreciation.

          Actually wanted to do it at 500 km, the first servicing comes at 910 km.

Excellent pictures despite the rain and a good ending. I would love to catch up with you if I ride to Mumbai sometime on my future 390 and stare at your Ducati
          Nope, I am not going to cheat on the 390, I will wait
          Looking forward to it mate, lets ride whenever you are here. Thanks

          It is a great review professionally done. Didnt know that it could power wheelie, let me now get the break in out of the way.
          I ride in just 2 weather conditions...
          1.When it rains
          2. When it doesn't

            Unlike all other reviews this states that the bike does indeed do a power wheelie. Ahhhh I can't wait to get my hands on it and the waiting is killing me. The dealers are still saying first week of September. Keeping fingers crossed that this time the bike is delivered.

              Just flick the switch and twist my wrist
              The beast comes alive, bringing me back to life
              A tap to shift and flick of the wrist
              The beast takes flight bringing me back to life
              Kill the silence, tear apart the dark
              The beast rips the road, hell yeah, i feel alive.

                Re: KTM 390 - The original Hooligan - Ownership Thread

                I booked it from Delhi and this is mere speculation from the showroom guys. They have confirmed the delivery dates thrice and with such conviction as to leave no doubt in your mind... and.. each time another delivery date. So I am a bit sceptic about their timeline. Best bet seems to be the late September and since Mumbai is close to Pune deliveries should start in Mumbai by mid-Sep. Thats just my guess.

                    Good clear detailed review @atul_chang

                    A bit more clarification on this?? "" So basically do you mean that you have to a bit of clutch juggling act to be done?

                      I mean that if you are in traffic you will not be able to let go of the clutch lever until u reach the twenties in terms of speed even in the first gear

                          [MENTION=29237]atul_chang[/MENTION] Thanks for the excellent review. I am upgrading from the CBR 250 to the KTM 390. Could you give some inputs on the engine refinement and ustressed character vis a vis the CBR.

                              Could some of the lucky owners please shed some light on fuel options. What type of fuel have you guys used ? Its mentioned that it requires high octane petrol but in Kolkata that is a very rare commodity.

                                on the Xbhp review of D390 you can read that [MENTION=10454]MG[/MENTION] used normal fuel throughout his time with the bike and didn't faced any problem..
