        DO you expect them to confirm this to you even close to the official launch. Nobody does that.
        I'll be surprised if it's not launched on 10th April.

          A diplomatic reply, at best - so as to avoid any issues arising out of unforeseen delays (such as logistics or similar hold-ups). And technically speaking an April launch *does qualify* for "mid of this year 2013", as it falls in Q2!

          Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!

          • The dealers are not allowed to give any information in writing which is not confirmed by KTM for the dealers. Also for any major launch of car or bikes these information are confirmed only when the production model is displayed. But the display of KTM 390 is confirmed for 10th April. So all the other information will be out then. As per dealer off paper discussion the bike will be out for delivery this month only. Check KTM Lajpat Nagar Facebook page.

            • Two days to go for all the answers about 390. We want to know more about abs, sound of the bike , tyre type and high speed control.

                ABS - Yes, its there with ON/OFF switch
                Sound - Some people say the D200 sounds like a 2Stroke Auto, well then the D390 sounds like a 4Stroke Auto. Its louder bassier version of the D200!!
                Tyre - Metzelers
                High Speed Control - Scary as hell! Super light front end with with no wind protection

                There!

                • This should be interesting. The first ever production Bike in India to breast the legendary rd 350.. this will sell like hot cakes but also get a lot of people into hospitals. Like even the 200 did towards the start.

                    Like I said some pages back, this bike will solve India's population problem to some extent!

                    • So I guess no fully faired version of this, bummer!
                      Beware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
                      More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
                      Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
                      Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
                      Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

                        I believe the Faired & Touring version are few months away, my guess would be early 2014 for those *if* they ever come.

                        But I love surprises... C'mon Bajaj pull a fast one and surprise me... Launch all 3 NOW

                        • The pics on page 57 appears to be the ABS version. They have optical encoders on both wheel to sense wheel lock.

                              Thankfully those are not optical encoders, but something a bit more resistant against dirt. In all likelyhood it uses HAL sensors, no moving parts and magnetic fields are not bothered by common road dust.

                                When I went to showroom last hearing the ktm 200 sound was disappointing it was little shrill I expect 390 to have more bass loudness is not important just the right frequency so that it resonates with your heartbeat in long drive.
