    Yerterday happened to go PBK Showroom here in Hyd & ask them any idea about KTM Duke... guess what I heard in reply. They have Ashwin working currently, nobody named Duke is hired as of yesterday.
    lol.....not too surprised since this is the case with most showroom staff

    I remember a thread some time back that said a new version was being launched, but sadly it turned out to be a sticker work.
    Its great that XBHP tries to bring all the news and gossip in biking faster than all, but I feel so much hype is not required for a sticker job.

    Atlast the conversation turned to be meaningless,
    Y a sticker job had taken 3month time & need a press announcement

    I am not sure of this but yes "heard" that it has less vibes and refined engine
    But at the same time I am, like others, is waiting for official specs to be released

    however waiting for exact specs for this so called "Hyper edge".
    A test ride may clear the speculations about performance & vibes, that too has to be a thorough one as to know the kind of power delivery upto redline.
    Regarding ergonomics, the bike has to go through a revamp, the handlebars have to be tilted down a little to reduce stress on palms..
    Vibes is a character of RTR, but I was expecting them to be mild & scattered throughout the powerband instead of getting a numbing peak near 5.5k...
    Maybe vibes thingy is taken care of, but not the ergonomics.
