Re: KTM Duke 800
If I can recollect, you wanted a bike for short term use with good resale under a budget of, I guess 1-1.10lakhs. You were to upgrade later to some other bike. It may be vague but this is the gist of what I remember.
2. Cracked alloys, cause of this may be various. Did it crack when standing still? It indicates towards various attributes of both the bike, ride n the rider. But as far as I know, cracked alloy cases are few n far between nowadays. But I do acknowledge the problem. I make it a point not to hit potholes or bumps at high speeds n maintain proper air pressure always.
3. It may. It wasn't my conclusion, it was mentioned as you had a doubt regarding the performance and I answered on behalf of a fellow bhpian thinking that this corollary might be the base for his belief. If the products already launched is something to go by, I believe that KTM has no reason to cut back on power and performance.
4. I didn't know that and I don't want to speculate. But will I buy it if launched at that price, Hell yeah!

2: I know of plenty of cracked alloys. Recently there was a guy on T-BHP who got black D200 alloys because his orange ones gave way. On a 2015 RC390. Some quality control, that.
3: So lets get this straight. You are saying that because the 390 single has good power, so going by that logic, the 800, which is a paralel twin will have good power too? Weird.
4: Thats what Samarth619, and a lot of other senior members who have given their valuable contributions to this thread think it will retail for.
