I don't actually..

But I know that people either Love a KTM or they Hate it. It has always been so with KTM.
So maybe you belong to the second category.

yea true... Maybe I am too desi to fall in love with it...

What I meant was there isn't love at first sight with the bike... Like it was for me with the 220... I find it just another bike...

Its NOT because of your "desi" status..

Ready to Race!!! can hardly wait.. KTM has immaculate reputation for durability & quality of spares used in their bikes.

meant as a joke... :P

I meant to say I am one of those fairing lovers...

Let's see how much genes they carry on to this baby but talking from a sales point of view, this bike wont do any great numbers. It's fine if Bajaj is trying to lift it's image from a desi bike maker to international maker through this bike.

When the yamaha and honda who are in business in indian soil for years never launch any model directly india how come KTM launch the Duke 200(as speculated here) make a direct entry into india . Visit the KTM site for Duke125 speccifications the power and torque are marginally closer with our own Desimade P135 ; But see the kind of other instruments used all are expensive ones so even if the existing Duke125 is launched sometime this year the indian automotive market is definitely going to react negative with the presence of pulsar135 already in sales ; moreover p135 already posses the so called 4valve DTS-i engine and is marketed as being worlds first to use such a technology ; IMO KTM neither Duke125 nor (the much speculated) Duke200 will be launched , instead bajaj may attempt to bring the superbike line up of KTM . With BAL on intensive Brand building dropping Family name and to name PUlsar I dont think they bring KTM's with small hearts , So ppl lets edxpect something big Supermoto,s or superbikes
@chichane P220 is already being exported to colombia and some other south american countries
@ All we can rather expect a new pulsar with 4 valve engine and design cues of KTM

true my friend, rajiv sir only told the new gen pulsars will be sharing parts from ktm/bajaj parts bean.

Finally a Australian company bike is being launched here.Can't wait to see the response when it is introduced in the market.

KTM is austrian bike manufacturer not australian

After reading previous posts and watching videos and images, I must say that DUKE is one of the hottest bike to hop on.

However, my savings will first go for R25/R15 or whatever; next would be definitely for this one...

R25 mmm interesting I thought someone was a HARDCORE DUCATIST
