what was the secret number they have given you ... mine was KTM 16 in bangalore

Anyone from chennai got the confirmation of date for delivery or someone got the bike itself..?? They are still not commenting anything on the date of delivery. I had seen 9 bikes standing there in showroom last Tuesday.

Heads up guys.

Ownership thread is up. I think we can move there now

Bajaj Auto Limited, the country’s second-largest two-wheeler maker, is all set to power its newly-launched Duke 200 – a naked style street fighter motorcycle from its Australian partner KTM’s stable – with the launch of KTM's Power Parts and Power Wear accessories and merchandise soon.
“We will be launching Power Wear accessories like jackets, gloves, stickers and helmets in a month's time to start with, before introducing Power Parts (aluminium sprockets, high-grade plastics, superior alloys and other fittings) at our 32 KTM showrooms (earlier Bajaj Probiking),” Prakhar Muktibodh, area sales manager, KTM (south India), told mediapersons here on Monday.

Delivering the first 15 Duke 200s to customers in Hyderabad, Muktibodh said the bike, priced at Rs 1.2 lakh (ex-showroom, Hyderabad), was positioned in the higher-cc bikes market where Yamaha R15 and Honda CBR 25R together sell 2,000 units per month in the country.

Bajaj Auto, which holds close to 40 per cent stake in KTM through its Netherlands-based wholly-owned subsidiary Bajaj Auto International Holdings, is already exporting KTM bikes from its Chakan plant in Pune to Europe. It supplied around 11,000 units of Duke 125 cc in 2011.
According to Amit Pawar, zonal manager, Bajaj Auto, KTM Duke 200 had so far seen 100 bookings in Andhra Pradesh and the number could be a little over 1,000 units from across the country.
“The Bajaj-KTM partnership is focused on developing high-cc bikes. Next in line from the KTM series to hit the Indian roads will be the Duke 350 cc, 690 cc and 990 cc bikes,” Muktibodh said, while declining to give any definitive time lines or numbers.

Good times ahead as KTM has confirmed Duke 350, 690, 990 as next in line bikes.

I doubt this figure bigtime.

While not exactly, but it is approximately correct. CBR 250R sells around 3000/month and R15 v2.0 is definitely selling more than 2000 units, can't confirm how much.

Even R15 v1.0 was selling 1000-1500 units/ month. So, v2 is bettering that anyday.

This is all I care about and look forward to. I hope they launch these 3 ASAP!

Spare Cost

Hi KTM Owners

Could you update "would-be" KTM owners if possible the cost of spares, servicing etc for KTM Duke 200.

It can be helpful for us to make a decision in buying.

Thanks

Ktm 200

Guys I saw this bike today morning near my office parking zone (also cbr250, r15 2.0) and gotta tell you that this bike has jaw dropping looks. Really looks monster from rear. Also the orange/black combination was awesome...........Best of luck guys who own this beauty

Mad Charging Bull

Guys Test rode the Duke 200 today... Felt as if was sitting on a 'Mad Crazy Charging Bull' - yet awesomely balanced...

For guys who have already picked up a duke - you know what i mean... For soon to be owners, you are in for a hell of a ride..

P.S. - I want to pick up a bike for two enduro events "Desert storm & Raid-de-himalaya" and am looking at an option if i could do something to make this bike enduro ready (people are calling me crazy for thinking like this (because this is an out n out street bike), but the engine has simply swept me off my feet and a newbie like me needs some power to stand a chance to complete)
Still contemplating - how to change the foot pegs, and increase the ground clearance | Looks extremely difficult.

(Oh Hero Motocorp Impulse - Why this 150 CC Kolaveri Di!! )

Cheers and have a great week-end ahead

Shake hands buddy. I have been thinking and planning exactly the same for the same purpose. Been fantasising of an Impulse with the Katoom engine
what a blast it would be!!!

Check this out... We went for a Ride..............

Simple things: The 575 KTM stretch

this is a news thread boys !
theres a whiff of news on the ownership thread about the booking being closed and prices being hiked. we need some definitive news people! so rest of us can stop reading , deliberating and debating and put our act together to go book the orange hooligan.
seniors pl pull all strings cables and anything else that can be pulled to get us some definitive word .
cheers !

KTM Price Update plz

We have been hearing about the price rise for KTM 200.

We would like to request the senior members or whoever can possibly get the info and share it with all.

We just hope its a nominal change and not a big one to burn a hole into our pockets.

Just a thought after reading that the rise may be around 20k-30k, it may be as costly as the CBR250, which i am sure bajaj wont be doing.
Keeping our fingers crossed.

no senior member needed,just go and check out ex showroom at pbk aka ktm showroom.
