    The bike in the middle has a different colour scheme going on.
    Has larger KTM and WP (on the suspension) decals than the other two bikes.
    It also has a seat cowl and handle bar protectors.

    Its seems like an Indian version since it has a crash guard (but there is no front number plate ).

    I guess we could see various versions of the Duke 200.

    PS: Couldn't spot the "200" decal on the middle bike, at first glance . Also, doesn't look like the 200 Duke will be coming with ABS (look at the front discs of the models displayed).
    The middle one is a fully loaded version with optional-add-ons installed.

    What use would be 3 identical bikes in a photo-shoot anyways?
    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

      Are the add-ons only visual or could you spot something else?

      PS: Bhai, I wasn't disputing the reason for them being present there. Just that no one discussed, so thought most missed it. Peace

          no -- but MG was there 1st week of november on his 220.

            There's also front axle sliders on the loaded version.
            Can't really see anything else from those particular pics

              And since most of it is highway usage, I would consider it 'extremely sparingly' used. If it hasn't had a fall yet, it practically is still in the box

              @DK you will take a big hit on depreciation. Dont sell it.

                  The First figure was a speculated one
                  The second figure is a tested one.
                  Or it could be that the second figure is speedo indicated and the first figure is the actual speed?

                  Either way, my theory was right

                  Waiting for xbhp report aswell to get that one final Nod

So anyone wants better top speed can simply fiddle with ECU to remove the limiter or even simpler, put smaller rear sprocket. I hope Bajaj don't set rev limiter enabled while selling in India.
                  For me, I'd put smaller sprocket. It will definitely increase the top end and also help to give better 'kitna deti hai?' factor than it's official 30 kmpl.

                  With stock gearing and limiter removed the bike should be able to do 139.7 KPH @ 11K RPM and if it still have enough grunt it can do 152.4 kph @ 12K RPM mark.
                  .
                  the Indian made CBR comes with a rev limiter aswell. Thai made doesnt.
                  As for ur "figures", are you just pulling it out or did you do some calculations for it?

                        Here is the rear tyre hugger + saree guard.

                        Is it just me or the bike actually looks better (filled up) with the rear tyre hugger..??

                          BAL has surely mastered the art of making good-looking non-obstrusive saree guards. Makers of the Baby CBR should learn something from this.

                            Its just you....lol..Rear hugger doesnt look awkward but in my view the bike looks better without it.

                              But without rear mudguard, if think in rainy day our back will be fully soiled with dirt

                                Doesn't the tyre hugger seem to fat due to the narrow ending tail? Not an eyesore, but seems disproportionate to me. Cant wait to see it in flesh though. Pics may not be justice.
