      i honestly don't care about how the rc390 will look. While the engine is not in the league of the Ninja, the bike as a package is going to be fantastic!
      i hope they price it around 2.5 lac...

        I just don't understand this. Why do you think that the engine won't be in the same league? Agreed that the Ninja mill is a gem, smooth and high revving. Being a twin, it's predisposed to have those characteristics. While the KTM single might be a bit gruff at higher rpms, but it'll make more hp and may be even tuned to peak at higher rpms than the duke. THe engine is pretty high tech if not more than the Ninja's?
        Actually, we indians are starved of multicylinder options so a single might never be in the 'same league'. But actually in Europe where every other bike has a twin/triple/four, a single 690 is the 'fun' alternative, an absolute madcap bike to own

                  Wooo mann, indeed watermark it from next time when you do these stuff. . . I guess someone might have got it from google/xbhp and uploaded it in facebook and almost everyone think it's the final production model . . . Don't forget to watermark next time so at least we Xbhpian's won't be confused. . .

                    Yes I had thought about adding a watermark but then it is just a rough edit and even NitroSatya had worked on it before. Anyways I'll add a watermark next time

                      I think KTM is the only company who has launched their product very fast in India, expect other those who feed one product for 3-4 years and then change the graphics and paint job only...

                        KTM is going very aggressive in the Indian Market,
                        And they have made a considerable presence with transforming Bajaj Probiking showrooms into KTM outlets, that too strategically placed into malls and other cool locations, rather than putting them out of the city.

                        I am desperately waiting to lay my hands on RC390, after being so much in love with my Duke.

                          Exactly.. +q to the point.. Unlike japs, KTM launched its bike a successive year and took immense advantage to Bajaj's foothold..
                          if this continues, we might even see a 690/990 is the comming years.. A boom to riders wanting to upgrade..

                          Ride safe and have fun.

                            [MENTION=42929]harsh_66328[/MENTION] Good to see the pic is doing some rounds on the internet. Let it create some hype!

                            Btw got to talk with some Bajaj officials. The faired KTM is called the KTM RC4! It is an internal company designation for the bike. My guess is that the RC390 is the RC4! Coming next year.

                              harsh and nitrosaya, I don't know why you think it looks plain. I think your artist's impression looks fabulous.
