      These are LED lights. Size of the indicators is not the yard stick by which one should judge these lights. For example, I have Rizoma LED lights on my N300. These have just one LED in each indicator is unbelievably slim and small in size. Checkout the brightness of the light:

          The distance from the handlebar to the rear portion of the seat seems pretty long. If one sits as far back as possible, it should provide a very aggressive posture I guess.

            I guess that would be extremely uncomfortable, not to mention the difficulty in doing so.

              Yeah. When I had tried that on R15 long while back, I got back pain very quickly, may be because I wasn't used to it. But it was pretty comfortable for the butt as I was doing that on a highway. But it will be very difficult to do that in the city.

                  Here is a video of a test mule in action, the riding position is a turn off though.

                    Just a thought.. It looks like the RC200 to me... acceleration on the 390 is much better than that if I am correct.. the exhaust note isn't that great.. at the same time, can't comment on before listening to it in flesh.. Thanks for the share

                          I don't think that's the 200. Has to be the 390. The 200 won't have this loud an exhaust note. Also the acceleration is 390 ish. Remember, it always feel faster when you ride the bike rather than seeing someone else ride past.

                            I am not sure about this as I haven't heard both the bikes but to me, it looks like the RC200.. Just a thought

                              How can we say that its faster than 200, slower than 200....when these aren't in the market...I guess acceleration can be measured when we will be riding the both bikes.

                                Rightly said. But that bike seemed pretty fast.
                                As much as I am excited for the launch of this bike, the numerous problems of duke 390 is making me nervous. What if its straight out of the showroom and into the service room? That would be heart breaking. I really hope that KTM put geniune effort to curb the unnecessary hiccups faced by new owners.
                                If there is any KTM people here, " KTM please we do love your bike but we WON'T buy it if there are lots of quality issues." We got decent options these days afterall.
