I am all gunho about this but still I don't think this is introductory pricing, it is actually on the expected lines, they just want to making it sound as though it is cheaper. The 1.8L is not OTR, the OTR will still cross 2L, so comparitively speaking it is still a very good price. For Bangalore it is coming to cool 2.5L which is not cheap really speaking, ain't it.

According to Mr. Amit Nandi, it is not yet decided; "The validity or time period for the introductory price will depend on demand, sales & market situation/scenario"

For Bangalore it is coming to cool 2.5L which is not cheap really speaking, ain't it.

Any news/updates regarding P375. Any questions to Rajiv Bajaj regarding P375?

Didn't ask about finance options. But did see the finance options for the 300 and 650. Awesome options really. For a 12 month period interest was around 9% and going upto 11% for the 36 month option.

Its great to see how aggressively Bajaj has priced the Duke. But I'd like to be the bubble breaker here, this heavenly ride will NOT sell that well and the introductory price might well end up lasting longer than what it lasted for the 200. Reasons are pretty simple, more so there's only one reason, No Fairing.

sparky - I would like to know how you reached the amount of 2.5L.
As far as I know the OTR cost = invoice price + road tax + cess + insurance.

Tax in bangalore is 10% and cess is 10% on tax amount.
so that comes to 180,000 + 18000 + 1800 + insurance = 199,800 + insurance.

Please enlighten me in case I missed something. By my calculation bangalore OTR should be max 205,000. including registration and all.
I would like to know if there are any other costs involved, because I have a strong urge to sell my 200 and get this.

EDIT: After searching the internet, it seems there are some more tax/ costs involved. But still OTR should not go beyond 215,000

The Duke 200 has sold ONLY 11k units in all these 17 months. CBR250 crossed that mark much much earlier. R15v2.0 has been selling 2000 units every month since its launch. The Duke 200 is probably the most profitable practical investment one could have (and still) made but it just dint attract the aam janta, why? Cuz this is a fairing-frenzy country. And 390 will only get the worse part of 200's fate.

A fairing would have max costed 15k, increased the weight by 5kgs and decreased the mileage by 2kmpl. Now I know the price of the 390 because it shares so many parts with the 200 but trust me 15k is the max it all would have costed. And the faired 390 would be a phenomenal hit in India. Someone said its coming in 2014. Lets see.

I personally love the 390. Just wish it came with a larger tank for more comfortable touring. The windshield, top case, carrier plate, though all beautiful will be rudely expensive just like the 200's powerparts.

Every one hated its short gearing @200.i hated its road manners too aggressive for my kind of riding.
and it felt bad after crossing 100 mark(my opinion).
But R15 and CBR were good after 100.
NS is a hit because its more tourer friendly.


And only few knew the location of PBK but r15,cbr were available in every showroom.
