Missed all the action yesterday and this is my first post in this thread
xBhp review of Duke 390 will be up in a week time

A week is fine, as long as the review covers most of the aspects like riding in city, bumper to bumper traffic, on the highway, Fuel Consumption etc. I personally found a couple of reviews to be wanting at a lot of places. The best review I remember is of Hyosung GT 250R.

All the best, and hope it blows you away with the pictures and write up.

Well ...this is the best news I heard in a long time...What makes me really happy is that as duke 390 is placed at 1.8L the 375 pulsar would be considerably cheaper !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No! No! No! Pulser 390 should not be cheap. No less then 2.5lac ex-showroom with full fairing and ABS.

Also P390 shud be handed over to Pro Biking for servicing instead of regular Bajaj A$$.

While KTM and Kawa owners get good treatment at most of the ProBiking Service Centres, Bajaj owners (Pulsars etc) are getting poor treatment.

After hearing stories of poor A$$ by Bajaj owners off late, buying a Bajaj bike has been a gamble. This is one of the reasons I changed my mind from booking P200 NS to a KTM.

A$$ was Bajaj's USP, but sadly it is on a downward journey. Hope Bajaj takes note of it, before it degrades further.

Ha..we'll see...I can bet that the pricing would be comparable to that of cbr 250!

Yes it will cover everything that you mentioned and hopefully will answer everyone's query. Although it won't be a video review

Those Orange alloys look wow.

I have a concern, this bike is going to be scarily fast, My office is near Dairy Circle and see college kids blasting the D200's to showoff in front of Christ College. Do you guys think the sale of this bike should be regulated so that the bike should not be sold to customers with less than xx age?

Somehow I feel it is the parents who are gonna suffer more if something goes wrong on such bikes. Just a concern from my side.

I Think we should have Age to CC/ BHP limits in India. Bikers, less than 21 years cannot ride more than 200 CC/17 BHP. That will reduce accidents by atleast 20%

I have been seeing & feelin' the same (near Christ) for a long time now - pesky Uniformed showoffs. Some do not even wear lids,,

,the usual spikes & earphones..

I don't think the sellers would wanna regulate their selling terms - 'Money Talks'

. The change has to come from within the bikers.

I think the decision lies in parent's hands. I usually blame parents for accidents involving powerful machines and kids. Its not easy as sign a cheque and fulfill child's wishes . parents need to give hard thought on "how responsible is my child?" Anyways its life of their child which may be jeopardized by a signature on the cheque. Ignorance is never a bliss if I must say.
