    Duke 390 has a higher compression ratio than the Duke 200. So it'll definitely demand a higher octane rating fuel. Not something we get in the petrol pumps of highways, don't we?

    But what i think is those same section tyres that of Duke200 wont be able to sustain that power. If they do...still the quality needs to be too soft to allow more traction to keep that power organised. And tank capacity needs to be above the 10.5litres duke 200 boasts. Touring stuff shouldnt hamper. Though its a street bike still i think a lil more will do good.
    What do you mean the same section tyres won't be able to sustain that power? The tyre is HUGE! I'm reasonably sure that 43 bhp isn't nearly enough to break traction on proper tarmac (unless you intend to).

    As told before booking already started in Delhi. They have confirmed each dealer may get 15 to 20 bikes in first lot ktm plus ninja. I have seen with one probike dealer the booking list with money paid for booking.

    It isn't even officially launched yet. Bookings haven't (officially) started. Your question is invalid.

    Delhi Mumbai and Pune all the dealers have different language in terms of date of booking and delivery. Delhi have already started and Mumbai Pune will start booking only after 10th. Don't know why different dates for these city though Delhi is far.

    I had a word with the mumbai East ktm dealer. He says the dealer launch is on 10 April. bike bookings will commence by end of April. It will be on display in May. He confirmed that only one model with abs is being launched with Metzeler tyres and price is still unconfirmed. ..2.2.5L tentative. booking amount is gonna be rs.rs.30000. The waiting period for delivery is still unconfirmed. start saving folks!

    There is a good chance, rather high probability, that it's cost will be above & beyond 2L
