    WOW!! Great pricing for a great product. Bajaj and KTM Rocks...
    "Buland bharat ki buland tasveer....Hamara Bajaj.....Hamara Bajaj".

    @Yamaha - Bring down your overpriced R15 by 15-20K if you want to continue selling it.

    @Honda - How will you price the CBR150R now? Expect a huge dent in sales figures of your so called 250CC model.

    Now waiting for 30th Jan to see how they Price the next gen pulsars to further kill the Japs...

      take it to track,
      do your every day work,
      trips to office and back,
      beat the guys crouching and trying to look very 'sporty' in the 'full faired' CBR250
      CBR250 beating ...........hold it man, NOT YET PROVED.
      and R15 at the traffic light GP's,
      this wont put weight on your wrist,
      you'll sit upright too !

      All this for some 125000-130000 onroad.
      Not bad at all !
      nicely priced package.

        Completely true. This bike seems to have a "I don't give a damn" kind of character, which many bikers will respect, if everything goes as planned without problems... This bike reminds me of Ben Spies, has a good looking face but doesn't bother giving a smile.

        Every time we speculate a price for any of Bajaj's bikes (KN650, Duke), Bajaj drops a hammer on our head and we're like OMG what solid pricing!!!

        And I'm yet to verify if the Duke takes in sprockets from Karizma, P180 UG4, etc. to overgear it properly... 14/43 on .520 pitch it is. Let's see.


        As for CBR250 and R15, R15 scores on its track abilities and looks, and CBR is still a tourer's delight, a profile which Duke seems to be far away from. So, even if Duke beats CBR in 0-60 or 100 it won't mean much.
        The common man might take both CBR and Duke to 4000 rpm each, and then go for CBR too... who knows?

          leave the touring for zma and cbr 250....
          dont know how can you think of touring with such a small pillion seat which means very less space for luggage bags + its coming with just a 10 ltr tank with company claimed mileage of 30 kmpl...so you can take it as 25-26 kmpl on safer side which means a range of 260 km on a full tank and this range is not good enough for touring i guess....correct me if I am wrong

              when the new range of pulsars are out, together with this KTM, i think japs like honda, yamaha etc will have to rethink about there strategies.

                correct, and add to it the fact that it has a plastic tank, so forget magnetic tank bags.

                  This has better power to weight ratio than CBR250 and R15, i'am not talking about the 1/4 mile drags ! just the traffic light GP guys !

                  And I've seen people tour in Splendour, Shogun ,RX100, Kinetic Honda, Ind Suzuki before ZMA, ZMR or any modern crop of bikes came into picture !

                  Whats so fuss about carrying bags and small tank, when touring can be 'this' much fun !

                      All Thanks to Karnataka Road tax which is highest in the Country..

                      Imagine the CBR 250R OTR is ~1.69 ( Non ABS ) and ~ 1.98 ( ABS ) Versions..

                      So even this Price of KTM is now a total Drool for the Enthusiast..
