    too many street rossis already

    for that obvious reason you have Blade and Busas' to look sooper cool and sooper unique. Such a bracket, that only real Rossi' could get it.

              • Read the following link for complete interview with CEO of KTM where he talks about faired and touring version of KTM 390

                Bajaj-KTM alliance key to growth in India, says CEO - CNBC-TV18

                Comment


                • "For India, I can expect 180cc, 190cc and not a 125cc. We expect additional displacements, the 390cc is coming which is a full faired version and the so called tour purpose version. By the end, we have a full model range where we can settle in all these and especially the Asian markets,” Stefan Pierer, CEO, KTM, said in an interview"


                  This is a bit confusing about "so called tour version" coming to India or not

                    • I think KTM would be doing similar to what Honda did. A full faired and a adventure touring bike like the cbr500r, cb500x. With this they would have a whole complete line up of different type of bikes including the current duke200 and coming 390 and a 180 off roader(if it exists).

                          I am confused. So, 390cc which is coming is fully-faired ? or will it be launched after the naked version? or both simultaneously?

                            As per my understanding and as someone else earlier also mentioned..that there will be 3 versions, Naked, Fully Faired, Tourer (faired), similar to Hondaz CB500 states..however the later two faired models from KTM are not expected immediately...KTM states they will launch something new every 6 months for the next 18 months...

                            • Things got a lot interesting (or confusing) they way you wanna look at it....Accordingly to Overdrive (as questioned by hss), we will not see the naked version but a full faired version( R15 type) being launched in Mid-2013. Touring version will flow some time later. Also Overdrive claims a 200 Fully Faired Version (Racing R15 type) will arrive sometime next year.

                              I think only time will tell, and we will have to wait for the 2013 first quarter to get some clarity on KTMs exact plans for India.

                                People keep seeing some big,famous designers at Bajaj. Like Glynn Kerr and Edgar Heinrich. I was shocked when I heard that a very famous Japanese designer was also a consultant for Bajaj!! None other than the father of the Fireblade, Tadao Baba!!!!
                                Going by KTM CEO's interview, may be, the above bike is faired Duke 390, not Pulsar 390.
