    2nd gear redlines at 85, 3rd at 105 and 4th 130 which is freaking quick! But the exhaust note sounds so unlike Duke

    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!
    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.

    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.

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    they are not launching it on 10th. :-(
    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!

    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.
