I can bet, Bajaj is not gonna price it more than 1.5 ex-showroom.....even we can expect less than that, if we are lucky, After all its Hamara Bajaj....

re: KTM Duke 390 Launched in India at Rs 1.8 Lakhs: xBhp News

I missed the launch and just checked xbhp. WOW!!!!!

FANTASTIC NEWS! I'm in!!!

OK, My Duke 200 is officially for sale starting NOW!
Actually, hold on a minute, make that in 1 month. I just called KTM dealer in Pondicherry, they said their display bike will arrive only in 20 days and deliveries will start in 1 month. Meh... But they still didn't even know the price, so I'm not sure they are well informed... Delivery times will probably vary from city to city.

And BTW, I saw 43.5 PS and thought "WTH, they detuned the power for Indian 390!" But then I went to KTM international site, and there it says Duke 390 is 43 hp, not 44 hp any more. So, I guess it's the same international version, no difference.
Either way - this is the bike to have! And with this killer price... Who can resist??

I see Bar end weights in some pictures and not in some. Does any one have concrete info on if Indian models ill get Bar end weights. Current Duke 200 doesn't come with one.

EDIT: The bike during launch has Bar end weights.
