Got my bike......the bundh garden showrrom folks....have been super nice and cooperative. Thanks a lot.

Firstly, congratulations!

Secondly, is this bike like the single piece that all the dealers got for display? or was it delivered from the first lot that arrived along with deliveries for all the other customers that booked at the same dealer?

Congrats buddy!!! Now I really need to ask you, when (date+time) did you book your bike ?

I have a Day-1 (26 June) booking in Bundgarden KTM, but I haven't heard anything from them yet!! Did they deliver only one bike or are they delivering in lots ?

Congrats on the bike Nomad. Bund Garden/Ruby Hall Showroom is one of the best places to advetise the bike. All the public waiting for the buses to Hyderabad and other long distance used to drool over there. I liked the way the showroom is laid out.

Coming to news from Hyderabad, Banjara KTM have confirmed that they have started giving test drives from Today. I was given the keys to test drive solo but had to rush somewhere else so skipped it. Will take one on Monday. Another guy took upon that offer. Man did the bike just fly or what

.

Also Nitin asked me if I am ready with the payment. Deliveries may start in the first week. Today my dad saw the bike for the first time. He was of the opinion that after one rain Mud will be splashed all over the riders calf. Looks like ankle boots are in order.

They giving to bikes only to those who are first in the booking queue of their show room (Token No.1). Even here in Bhopal the guy who made the first booking from Raisen Road - KTM got his bike on the same day when its got launch(23-Jul-2013).

Thanks brothers!!

OK, came back after a 100k+ kms ride (25+40_35+17!! I am strictly playing by the rules right now, not over 5000rpm for the first 1000kms (as recommended by the ktm guys).

got my bike at 5pm and it had just done 7kms,a quick briefing ,clicks and i was on my way to the fuel pump, got a tank full of 97Octane. it's been raining crazy in pune, so my todays first ride review is all in the rain....

under 5k rpm in 6th gear, the bike does 90+, so running in wont be too boring, took me 10-15kms to get used to the gearing, i was downshifting to late , went showing it off to a few friends and then a good 40 kms highway stretch..the brakes are good, suspension is just right, not stiff nor very soft, no heating issues, well within range.i like the sound, the faster the better, it's quick, overtaking is a piece of cake, but if you dont shift up at the right rpms the bike will struggle a little to pick up. I honestly wasnt trying anything funny in 1st&2nd gear but 3rd and 4rh are too much fun, dint really explore 5th and 6th at length due to the restrictions. need i mention, the tyres are awesome!

not so good:- headlamps, need brighter ones for sure.the chain is a little to tight, will take it for a quick adjustment tomorrow.a little plastic chatter i heard over potholes.

cant wait to get the Tyre hugger and the saree guard off. Monday or tuesday the bike goes back to the dealer for registration, i can take em out after.

duke 200 owners suggestions on good saddle bags please?

time to sleep, have to get up early for an all day ride!!
