2nd gear redlines at 85, 3rd at 105 and 4th 130 which is freaking quick! But the exhaust note sounds so unlike DukeOriginally posted by Praful View Post

139Kg is dry weight so it isn't as scary as I thought

200 Duke - 125 kg
390 Duke - 139 kg
690 Duke - 149 kg
990 Duke - 186 kg
KTM has designed the 990 Duke with 186 kg comparatively Yamaha FZ 1 - 214 kg and Hyosung GT650N - 208 kg
So If we can accept 990 Duke with 186 kg then for sure we can accept the KTM's dry weight engineering for 390 Duke as well

And that's with bad gear shifting, it actually makes a pause at around 80 kmh!
0-80 kmh was like in 3.5 sec...
Damn, I already wrote Duke 390 off my upgrade map because of "supposed" 2.5 lakhs price (we'll know for sure tomorrow), but after seeing this video..... Argh, how to resist not getting it??? Damn you KTM, you'll bankrupt me!Last edited by splus; 04-10-2013, 04:36 AM.Comment

Possibly, the first bike says what all accessories can KTM provide as powerparts?Originally posted by iNaresh View Post
Most of them are already available for KTM Duke 200 on Powerparts website.
1. Stickers
2. Crash guard
3. Crash bobbin/pad in the swing-arm
4. Sear cowl
5. Wind Shield
6. Hand guard
and Black alloys ??

What would be the top end ?? 190 ? 200 kmph ??
Or due to it's naked design it will be limited to 160-170kmph ?Comment

I am sure it will be limited to around 160+kmph.. It will be very risky to cross those speeds with just 139kg naked design.. slightest amount of cross winds can prove to be disastrous..Originally posted by somen1984 View Post
But the acceleration is just whoaaaa!

I think so it will be...as it's weight is also not much...Originally posted by Adarsh_Bk View PostI am sure it will be limited to around 160+kmph.. It will be very risky to cross those speeds with just 139kg naked design.. slightest amount of cross winds can prove to be disastrous..

Now the question is having 400cc and getting only 160kmph as top end is not digestible !
Lets see people's review on this after buy...Comment

Going by your logic the Duke 690 should do 230+ easy peasyOriginally posted by somen1984 View Post
I don't see the 390 doing anything more than 170 at the most!
@Adarsh: I wouldn't go too much by the sound in the video

@somen, I believe the intended crowd would know that its a naked bike and its characteristics. acceleration, flickability, fun.plus the price at which we get this hopefully.I think 160 is good enough for max touring speeds in India.want more-they could wait for cbr400/500 which will be priced significantly more with better top speed stability and comfort.๔ยкє ҭђгєє ภเภєҭұ เภ ๓ұ שєเภรComment

These kind of bikes are mainly for blasting the twisties and zipping around in cities.. they are not really highway mile munchers, so having a high top speed wont be KTM's design focus. But one can change the gearing with sprockets and with proper windshields & a heavier riderOriginally posted by somen1984 View Post it might be able to do more.
Yeah it was sounding way too different.. just saw the official D390 video again, the exhaust note seems to be very similar to D200 in thatOriginally posted by Praful View Post@Adarsh: I wouldn't go too much by the sound in the video
Anyways lets see the real deal once it is out!
