          The KTM CEO mentioned that the Adventure 1050 which is releasing in Italy in 2 months time will come to India. He didn't commit to any adventure based on 390 though.

            There is a Adventure variant based on 390 platform is on test in abroad. Coming milan auto show, we would know further details. AFAIK, 690 or 1290 or other bikes won't come to our shores till next 2 years.

                  I'm taking the Dukes for comparison.. The 390 sucks about 1l per 25 KMs whereas the 200 runs till 35.. so the difference is as big as 10 KMs..

                  live long.. live happy.. that's the best revenge that can be served to the people who hate you..

                    It just makes me say WOW on the mileage frontier.My fz16 gave mileage of 30kmpl at max ,which is tad low for 150cc in india.

                          Isn't the RC8 already available in India?

                            Nope it isn't, I have been to wakdewadi showroom of KTM, it is just for display not for sell.

                            Replace the words "I have to" with "I choose to" and notice the difference in how you feel.

                                Had a short test drive of RC390 on road price here in raipur is 2.32 L few points about this bike are listed below

                                1. Bike is compact in size and not two wide from front. Tank is somewhat smaller which is biggest let down atleast for me.

                                2. Acceleration is linear and exhaust note is same as D390 but with better aerodynamics. Very sporty riding stance faced difficulties in riding in heavy traffic because of heat.

                                3. Rear pillion seat is well cushioned but lacks grip and pillion tends to fall forward.

                                4. Rear tail lamp looks good but somewhat looks like pulsars ( my personal thought). Headlamp is sufficient and powerful provides great illumination.

                                Quality has been improved and yes it will be blockbuster hit for KTM because of its aggressive pricing unless there should be no problems like D390 2013 production.

                                Ride safe
