Even I am damn crazy about getting the DUKE
. But I am gonna wait and take a look at the initial ownership reviews from xbhp members 
. Also I am bit worried about ASS 
So I am gonna keep myself quiet until all the above factors and finalize on the DUKE

Though it looks like comparison it's not. It's part of clarifying confusion. unfortunately, the products in my mind fall in different league so they had to make that list. dont get scared.Originally posted by chicane1879 View PostPeople comparing Duke with the R15!!

Less unsprung weight and better feedback from the front end, resulting in better overall handling. But for best results, that needs to be complemented with adjustable settings. So, in the case of the Duke 200, it's basically, less unsprung weight compaired to the traditional fork design and it looks goodOriginally posted by vishnukuttan1988 View Post

looks, mass centralization, larger diameter forks suffer less torsion. Don't know any highly technical stuff though

The Phoenix millls Bajaj Showroom is now taking bookings for the KTM and the Ninja's... Finally...!! Got a call from the manager there today... He says they have a "quota" and have a few bikes from the first batch..."stay hungry, stay foolish."
To those who have attitude... My middle finger salutes you...!

I don't know since when people are reporting 145kmph top speed on R15, I thought it's more like 135- 138kmph. Another point here is 136kmph on Duke was on bikes that were given for first rides, where rev limiter used to kick in @10k rpm. Since then, it's told that production versions will have revlimiter @11k rpm. Apparently that will take top speed closer to 145kmph.
There is no point comparing R15 with Duke 200, but if somebody thinks it's better than Duke, he is more than entitled to his opinion.Let's bring down the monster of corruption to it's knees.. please visit http://ipaidabribe.com/Comment

Check the R15 ownership thread for mileage of R15. Most of the owners, including me, would vouch for ~40 Kmpl mileage of R15.Originally posted by Saru44 View PostComment
