    ROTFL...are you merely jokin around with such statements or are you really serious about it?

              Couldn't help but ask whether this was controlled madness or innocent madness

                Sattelite.Kid Never knew you were in the R&D labs for the development and somehow know who contributed what and upto what extent!

                Here is what KTM said in 2007 when the co development first started.
                Do remember back in 2007, the world was pretty different from the way see it now!

                  Nice clear images of one of the most anticipated bike alongside new Pulsar range.
                  Would love to go blindfolded with Duke 350 not with this 200 one
                  But it would be a HELLBIKE with 23-24 bhp and weight around 140kgs or so...........

                  Looks: Check, Good
                  Quality: Check, very Good
                  Specs: Check, Very Good
                  After Sales Network: Check, Good
                  Avilabilty of Spares: Check, Very Good
                  Value For Money: Check, Very Good

                  Iam Happy: Check, Yes of course

                  Desperately waiting for the launch of KTM 200 and new Pulsar range.....

                    @satellite.kid
                    first you tell me when you went to the ktm r&d center and saw who was exactly developing ktm
                    KTM themselves have agreed that they are developing below 600 cc bikes in collaboration with bajaj... and more over bajaj own 39%+ stock in KTM and is slowly increasing it, so 'bajaj' can get a share or credit for whatever ktm developes...

                        guys I'm guessing you have seen youtube vids of duke 125/200. I think it's the most nimble bike in current production. R15 is great around the corners but duke's seems very nimble around the rest of the things.
                        What do you think?

                                As usual, excellent post and pics Vishwas bro.
                                Anyone has any idea what this will be priced approximately? I just sold my Kawasaki Ninja 250R and might want to venture into a naked category bike in not so distant future.

                                Thanks
