    So that means, new fastest indian will match N300 in performance? With an added fairing and taller gearing, p375 may do a 180 and add another 10-15 error!!!
    For pure euphoria D390, For Tourers with tight budget P375 and for the track beginners N300, all with similar performance (or comparable) and possibly considerably different in pricing!
    is that enough to kill the CB400/500 trio before the birth in India?
    Hehe... Jokes about P375's speedo aside, I think P375 will be an excellent touring option because of fairing, twin projectors and good top speed. And most importantly price...

    But we all know the word fun sticks to orange colour much more than any other.
    Considering a better than expected performance of Duke 375 and much better price I already feel sorry for that new Honda trio... No reason to go for CB500 unless you're a Honda fan.

    I am eager to see the tyre performance at such power and speed! It would have been nice if they could have added bit more broader tyre!

    And here's the first review also from the same guys. How come none of the other mags are posting anything and no Indian media outlets were invited?
    A reminder that Duke 390 is KTM's bike, and KTM is an Austrian company?

    Italian - KTM 390 Duke test: facile come una 125 (ma anabolizzata) - Motociclismo

    German -
    Great find!

    - So, Duke 390 goes easily to 160 kmh, and tops at 171 kmh.
    - Seat is at 80cm, which is 1cm lower than Duke 200; peak power at 9500 rpm; peak torque at 7250 rpm; rev limiter is at 10,500 rpm; a high compression ratio of 12.9:1.
    - Bigger windshield is an extra power part and is recommended for longer runs.
    - ABS doesn't kick in easily, esp for the front disc which locks less than the rear one.
    - 30 kmpl on average
    - The compromise between comfort and stability is impressive.

    Google translate of the conclusion of the 1000ps.at review says:
    "The KTM 390 Duke is a really good good compromise between sportiness, reason, ride comfort, fun and value. The best part: It feels not at all to compromise on! Quite clear recommendation of the editorial 1000hp!"

    Sounds like it's going to be a best seller!

    This confirms what someone posted earlier about standard handguards and tyres etc. So a May end availability schedule looks to be accurate.

    So KTM launch followed after this ? Or is that today/tomorrow?

    Immediately after the Ninja 300 Launch Press conference ended, as they were taking the bikes away, this is what the scene looked like...

    Wow. The acceleration is brutal. This one will eat Ninja 300 alive till 120. That's for sure.
