    Yes, indeed. However in the context of 2013 around the corner, it is more relevant.
    Yes even more, as per the discussion here; If you go by the pic, it clearly states that its the Duke which is coming first, the enduro and faired is for 2014. And the question I'm having is can we expect for a mini rc8 or just a faired duke. That one year gap wont be just for a marketing sake I think

    We should think for the launch of Duke 390 over touring version. Hopefully in 2013 Duke200 with ABS also launched.

    Does this means with growing KTM in India, Kawasaki chances of wash out or break up are downlined?? Then is it gona be like Mahindra and Renault break up...

    Great piece of info..

    KTM Duke 390 release plan leaked for USA

    The BARF (Bay Area Riders Forum) in US had someone post a mobile phone shot of a dealer conference with a PPT slide showing KTM DUKE 390 amongst other 2013 models. Going by the reactions from the members this was supposed to be under wraps. Going by the discussion there someone will be taking the brunt of this leak. However it shows how important this model is, not only for India, but around the world. Bajaj did sure make a fantastic decision in investing in KTM, and did even bette to go for models like 200 and 390.

    Bajaj uses Kawasaki's dealership network the world over, especially in south america and Africa to directly take on the other jap companies. Don't underestimate the importance of Kawasaki for bajaj, considering that exports is an important chunk of sale for bajaj.
