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

Guys I checked the usa pricing of mrf sportec m5 tyres shod on the 390. Minimum cost of a pair is 460 USD. That's roughly 25000 rs! I how hamara bajaj can work some magic here...else I'll have to ride v v sanely!Leave a 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.Leave a 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...Leave a comment:
