        Hate to burst your bubble, but I just spoke with KTM in Delhi, they claim they have not been told when the release date is by KTM (I mean specifically for the Duke, the RC is available for booking).


        They cannot be any more specific than "maybe this month or next month" (meaning, March. Maybe).


        So all anyone can say for sure is that the new Duke will launch sometime before the sun explodes and destroys the entire solar system in a supernova.


        I've been waiting for this since November / December, and every week there's an announcement or news story that the Duke is about to launch, and then it turns out to not be true. By this point, I'm just going to go stick my head in an oven.

              lol, we all seem to be on the same page. I have been waiting for my first bike for almost a year now, was supposed to get G310r as it was rumored to launch last Diwali and now I'm waiting for the 390

                Seems the 250 will be launched. Confirmed.

                  source? I don't think they will launch 250 as it will eat up 390 sales😝

                    250?!?! Bajaj said they wont launch as there will be v less price difference and production costs cos its based on 390, I don't think so they will launch it, I guess that wud be 200 facelift!

                      It would be not so lucrative in bringing the 250 here. Instead they should bring the big toys here as the Indian market is emerging in the 600cc and middleweights . I know it won't be much of a profit compared to the sub 400s yet it can provide the consumers with much options and VFM which Bajaj and KTM always excel in.

                      Just my thought and started saving for the big mean machines 😁

                        I agree, if they plan to get the new 790 twin in India and other adventure series that wud be great

                          It is not yet launched in market, so you have paid for the RC 390 '17. Please check.

                            They already sell it here, just that it will come in CBU route. Just the it will cost a hand and a foot plus some kidneys.

                                KTM don't have a 250 in there portfolio so don't believe it. And also 200 cc is the lowest that they will go.
