    One is 130 Km and the other 107 Kms away. I'm going to wait and see what Hero and Honda have to offer and then decide.

      Hero is going to offer hx250r but they could have worked on.the looks. Personal opinion.

      Honda may launch Cbr300 but the price will be too high

            No wonder.. You gotta stretch a bit.. Coz I did sit on the 390 and I actually found it more comfortable than the duke.. I'm 5'11"..

              Haha, I think I will pass the chances of owing a racing bike rather than stretching myself! But at the same time, I want to emphasize that this is NOT a generalization that RC twins are for taller riders only. Please go and see for yourself. I have only shared my biased experience.

                I always wanted to own a racer.. But not at the cost of stretching/health.. No.. But I also agree that let's not generalise that the RC twins are for taller people..

                  Yayyy.. I booked the RC200 yesterday evening... Hopefully I'll get it in two months.. One thing I noticed is that there's no mud flap for the front mud guard like the dukes.. Expect mud on the engine in case of any slush.. And saree guard will be provided.. The one that comes with the dukes.. And you get the standard tools kit and a small cork ball sized first aid kit.. The petrol pipe and the spark plug are not accessible..
                  To topup the engine oil, you need to remove the fairings...

                  The horn is not like a scooty's horn.. Its decent and loud..

                        Thats a very valid point mate. The bikes on display are new and have too much of matt black plastic over it. It may look well built, however look deep and you realise it doesn't ooze with quality. Quality seems same as Duke 390. People had expected a slightly more premium with better quality parts. Bajaj seems to have adopted the policy of "warrant replacements" quite nicely. However, waiting for ownership reports to trickle in.

                          Well seems like the RC390 can do speeds around 180 (speedo indicated), more or less similar to D390.

                            The front fork is similar to that of RC8? Saw that in their website. Is there any difference between duke's and rc's USD fork

                              Doesn't look any different than that of RC except of course the dampening settings.
