    • really i dont see what the fuss is about....
      personally i love the way duke looks but giving it a 125 cc engine....
      i mean... come on...
      who thought of that?
      agreed that a lighter bike with less power can pretty much deliver good performance but good lord soo lesss power...
      they atleast could give us 150 or 180 ccs of engine...
      being practical i would never pay 1 lakh rs on a shiny toy....

              is that a negative comment to my post :-)

              agreed but you see->1l for 125cc 15.2ps @10.5k is something not suitable for everyday city riding, its more inclined towards spirited riding.
              So the only use I see would be either stunting or trackdays.
              And for stunting(with full stunting riding gear) in india we don't have any proper bikes(sorry fz guys but this is just my opinion), whereas for trackdays there is r15, rtr180 and the likes priced at par or lower than 1l.
              Hence TO ME it seems that stunting is the perfect niche for this babe.
              OT>>>
              Ps>i am new here and don't want to start any flame wars neither want to disgrace anybody. I am here to just express my opinion.
              Ps2>i even find the p220(my first and only bike) slow as i grew up watching youtube vids of litre class bikes
              ps3>i apologize to the mods for this ot filled post, sorry won't happen again.

                  Going by that logic, R15 should be priced at 50k as its just a 150cc bike

                    and this bike is not for family persons who wants to ride along with his/her family .. its purely a learner bike [In Europian sense] .. and for us its youngster bike
                    that i know...but i have a 3 year old boy also......i just think that this bike has bigger tyres and other advanced facilities....so comparing to other indian bikes gets more safety......when i come to abroad i sold my CBZ classic.Now my wife is using a Honda Dio which is not that much comfortable for me to drive...so i am deciding to buy a sporty bike to drive when i am in vacation there. any suggestions???

                      try to raise ur query in what bike thread..so tht u can get a better feedback on what bike is suitable for you..and don't forget to mention about ur full requirements.

                      fz and ktm's pillon seat are smaller.coz they r purely made for single riders to have all the fun alone.

                        I wonder why are YOU so worried about? Are you the one who is gonna pay me for my bike?

                        Anyways, what i meant to say was that if it comes after 650R i may not have any money left for KTM.

                          Oh...man.. ur on RIOT


                          and again Bajaj also 100% confirmed that this is no Aam admi bike .. its for export market .. and by virtue its made here they are offering here also ...

                          so ppl able to spend 1.2+ lac open ur options for CBR250R/R15/PulserX/220FI/Fazor.

                                No hard feelings, i was just expressing like you. I am just wishing for 'more' from them, not just 15ps @10.5 . . if this was around 20-25ps, it would have rocked my world..
