        Got a chance to see the 2017 KTM Duke 390 at the MCN London Motorcycle show over the weekend. Quite loved the new color scheme, got a chance to sit on the bike and the new seat does feel pretty well padded.

        A few pictures for your viewing pleasure...

        The new front.

        I am fan of the side slung exhaust, never quite liked the older one.
        I am 5'10 and had no trouble planting my feet down comfortably.

        Zoomed out to show the control on the LHS switchgear.
        The screen seems like a swirl magnet, i guess a scratch cover would be necessary.

        I can't wait to test ride one once I get back, I'll paint the rims black the moment I take delivery.

              But it will not launch in India, with the 200s and 390s present it makes 0 sense to launch this bike, the full range I think is available in most parts of Europe and Asia. 250s in some parts of Asia because racing is taking really seriously and the 250cc category is really competitive with the Hondas, Yamahas , Kawasaki and KTM,

                M in love with the looks, can't wait; showroom guys tell that the headlights are pretty amazing and it has got adjustable front suspension I dont know if it true but it will be pretty cool if they do that.

                  Kindly don't quote the whole thing with pics included. It makes it difficult for those accessing through mobiles.

                      I do not have a pic with me the bike, what I shared was my experience while sitting on the bike.

                          Why will someone buy the old Duke 200 now ?
                          They offering some discount ?

                            The guys who doesnt like the new duke style. Or they might launch the 250 and the 390 without the new design 200. So someone who is budget constraint and those who likes the old duke design can go for this.

                              Yes I really like the old dukes..... But the only thing i like in new design is the Console, apart from that i don't like anything in the new ones...

                                apparently 390 price hike is substantial. thats why they are slotting 250 in middle and 200 will be their affordable option. it will be probably same model to keep cost low.

                                as per overdrive.
