so probably pulsar 375 will be the last pulsar...and they will go with the UG1 UG2 etc with the new gen pulsars like they did with the p150/180 and probably after a couple of years they may add a higher displacement pulsar but i am sure their bread and butter pulsar models at lower displacement ad difference of 15/30/20/20 cc will remain...

there is ABS
there is a bigger engine
the different and stronger frame(this one is doubtfull)

cant think of anything else...probably the gearbox??(the gear ratios mentioned on the website are different for 200 and 390 so probably its a new gearbox all together with more weight)

well they could first price the duke 390 at a price slightly below the cbr250 abs version as an "INTRODUCTORY" price and then hike the price by a good 20-25K(with tax included)

Steel is basically Iron with a litlle carbon to provide good strength

adding chrome and molybdenum makes it a even harder steel(no idea about increase in weight or no increase)

so the frames are different speaking in the type of raw material used...now i don know if the design of the frame is same or not..may be it is but still bajaj has to make new dies and they could make it a bigger frame(the wheel base is surely different so it is a different frame)

chrome molybdenum steel is supposedly much stronger, so are they plannng something bigger than the 390 as well

There is a slight difference in the frame between KTM 200 and 390.

200 uses the Tubular space frame made from steel tubes, powder-coated.
&
390 uses the Tubular space frame made from chrome molybdenum steel, powder-coated.
Not exactly sure what difference it could make.

with full fairing, ABS and FI...P375 will not go beyond 1.7 lakhs, damn sure.

do you mean to say Duke 390 in India will sell at a price less than CBR250..???

ok. somehow i can tell just by common sense that 690 uses a different chassis

but yes, your point is correct that dimension wise duke 390 is similar to 200, so maybe using same components. am sure if components are reinforced and different, they will be heavier and more expensive.

my question is a weight difference of 12 kg is because of engine alone or because of chassis and engine ?

imo if its cause of engine alone, price difference in 200 and 390 won't be much. otherwise it could be much more.
