    That would make the 200 Duke the Fastest Accelerating "Made in India" bike..!!

    Waiting for the complete ride report.

      The right word is "Quick" - big difference
      It beat the CBR by .2 seconds and the Ninja 250R by 0.1 secs in the 0-60kph department.

      Awaiting the Topspeed reports now.
      Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

        So much for "desktop/laptop/keyboard/virtual biking" and "auto media stats/number crunching"...


        Can't wait to twist the throttle on this one.

              The one that is on BSM currently is NOT an Indian Review.. it is supposedly based on the ride experience of an Internatinal Journo Alan Cathcart.

              • 3.33 seconds timing of 60km/hr is impressive. Looking forward to other more important parameters namely the top speed and the quarter mile timing!!

                    care to explain?
                    From what i noticed my speculation stood correct so far about the bike being "Quicker" off the mark (still awaiting the topspeed results though)
                    Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

                      In my opinion THE TOP SPEED WOULD BE SOMEWHERE AROUND 130 -135 KM/H.

                      Just an assumption, lets wait for the final news from the manufacturer...

                      May be they'll launch this bike before 10th of Dec, 2011....



                      and that to an expected price of 1.25L....

                                You're spot on on these two terms as far as my opinion was concerned
