Guys I had a source and got to book my duke 390 yesterday with a 40000 rs deposit. Official bookings to commence as per the dealer in may and deliveries could take upto June. Btw had some fun with the RC8R on display as well!Originally posted by Praful View PostLast edited by mohitahuja; 04-19-2013, 12:31 AM.Comment

Good review.Originally posted by s_hari View Post
Tops at 133 kmh in 4th and 157 kmh in 5th.
Cruises easily at 130 kmh at 7000 rpm in 6th gear.
Feels stable at all speeds despite its light weight.
With a bigger wind shield offered as power part this could be a very good touring bike besides being the best street bike at the market...Comment

Maybe the Autocar journo was smoking up some weed when he/she wrote this ...Originally posted by s_hari View Post
Just because the hose is wrapped in rubber, it doesn't mean its not steel braided. Look at the pics closely to verify that it is indeed steel braided lines.The adjustable rear brake pedal is better positioned than on the 200 Duke, but the 390 Duke lacks steel braided brake lines, as are offered with the 200.Last edited by Praful; 04-19-2013, 12:38 PM._________________________

Cant we switch to Sport Demons when M5s run out? They are rated upto 240kmph and are awesome back for the buck. Been using for more than 3 years and they are outstanding.Last edited by riot; 04-20-2013, 07:34 PM.Street racing is for Squids trying to make up for their small equipmentComment

Sure but 150/60 not there in PSD's portfolio.Originally posted by riot View Post
Plus, I am not sure if the PSD's will be able to reign the torque of the 390 properly. Needs super grippy tyres._________________________

Most of'em may go bak to D200's tires. Better options from Continentals? IRCs? PSD, but known for its sudden death! It would be great if Metzeler start their production here! but shouldn't end up like Michelin India having only brand name but no quality n common if compared to their early/original ones.
And the pulsars may be handling similar torque figures with mrf/tvs tires!
Edit: anyway its too early for a tire change
