          Saree Guard, Bar End Weights, Front Number Plate, Engine Belly Pan, Rear View Mirrors, not to mention Decals... a lot of stuff is missing.
          This is a Test Mule.


          Actually in the previous test pics there was a different silencer pipe end [Image attached]

            If the 125 cc Duke can belt out 15 Ps, that too because it is restricted to 15 Ps by European laws, therefore I am expecting the 200 cc Duke to easily make more than 20 Ps in India.

            [P.S: If its only 20 Ps, then it would be no point for me to shift from my P220 DTS-Fi]

            Ok, I see what you mean. What you are taking about is a chrome exhaust TIP. (Seen clearly in the photo posted below)

            Yes, that seems to be absent on the pics posted on page 22. But then its just a tip and can always be put on the final finished product.

            • Looks like a lot of fun to ride! Maybe I will get one for myself if it is as fun to ride as it looks.

              • Now that the bike being tested in bangalore has no decals, I wonder what decals will the production bike come out with?

                Something like BAJAJ-KTM Duke or just KTM Duke. Now with Bajaj branding their bikes as Pulsar, Discover and not using the Bajaj logo, maybe they will create a brand as DUKE 200, DUKE 250 and so on in the future.

                  they'll be following the same strategy as they do with ninja.. the ktm might be made in their plant but it won't have their logo...

                            In the image one can already notice the bent fins at some places.

                              At 200 cc, I am not expecting it to be much powerful than my 20 Ps P220 DTS-Fi.

                                Looks great, loved the whole design Seems to have borrowed some aspects from the pulsars, like the seating, fairing (135) and the tank.
