  • This video is mind tilting. it have some decision altering power. Butcher bike this is. Some times a single can do that.
    Can buy one as an ever lasting city bike. 165 is very acceptable top speed for a bike that reaches there this fast.
    This is not a Touring Tool (TT?), But this one can fit perfectly in any garage, as the daily fun bike.

      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...
      It's not about what the top speed is, it's how you get there :P

          I won't be surprised if does a 175 since it is high revving than 690.

                The gears seem to be quite a bit taller as well. My estimate is > 170 as well. But whatever happens, my personal preference would be to tinker with the sprockets, keep the top speed around 160 and get more accelaration out of it.

                Power wheelies in 1st gear, anyone?

                • Spoke to ProBiking @ Kanjurmarg, Mumbai minutes ago.
                  He says that D390 is being 'officially' released today @ Bajaj Auto, Akurdi, Pune?
                  The D390 will be displayed in ProBiking showrooms not before last week of April tho!

                  Also inquired about cost & delivery of the Ninja 650.
                  On-road cost is INR. 5.57L & waiting period of 4 months!
                  It's best that I book it in mid-monsoon then
                  FOUR months man... F-O-U-R-!!! :'(

                        I don't think Bajaj will do a phased launch like that. Pretty sure it will be launched in the entire country together.

                          the launch will be a phased one, they may follow the exact D200 launch process (gaps between launches in different cities will be thin though). but the news that its released in Pune is not correct. a launch of a highly anticipated bike without a launch event, very unlikely.

                          my guess is, Bajaj dont want to release Ninja 300 and D390 on same day becase a N390 is 3.5 Ex and D390 for 2.2-2.5L Ex,a non bike enthusiast will call Bajaj illogical ---> 390CC bike cheaper than 300CC???
