      This is going to kill the competition as we know !

        I believe those set of four buttons are cruise control. If it is cruise control then this is going to be a game changer yet in another way.

          Now that is a name I haven't heard for a long long time!

          Source is official. Lots of people know this.The bike itself must be with some xbhpians for testing. As always.

              I pray for traction
              I can keep,but
              if I spin and begin
              to slide , please
              dear god, protect
              my sweet ride"- Amen

                  The KTM Duke 390 had every enthusiast awestruck when it was first unveiled in 2013. Naturally, the sequel to this pocket rocket was going to be an even bigger attention magnet. While there is no shortage of spy shots and speculation surrounding its successor, a new video has revealed few crucial bits of information about the 2017 Duke 390.

                      I dont think they are riding modes , i think they are switches for the instrument console as there are no buttons visible on instrument console itself.
                      and where is the high beam low beam button ?

                        Makes sense to me.

                          some how the console design does not attract me. I used to love the previous one.
                          This looks like a PSP to me as of now. May be my views will change once they lit up.

                            Headlamps will be in always on and I guess using just the pass button they have managed to switch between high and low, like halfway press will be used as pass and full down will act as switching from low to high or reverse



                            Just love the way that it is inspired from super Duke but it looks very skinny compared to old Duke, may be it was intentional as they did not want people mistaking this for the super Duke[emoji13]

                              Even the current display costs around that price. no big deal putting in a bit of animation.
                              the current one already has slipper clutch, abs. and that exhaust, a similar one already does duty on some of the export rc's.
                              I don't think they'd put in TCS.. and ride modes, umm maybe not but still fingers crossed.
                              The 'competition' hasn't really caught up with the existing 390.. has it ? oh, btw what was the competition?

                              switches, probably yes..
                              That up/down arrow, could be the toggle for the beam.

                              the current crop of ktm's already come with drl's.. so nothing new on that front.

                              This test mule looks a bit incomplete (obvious since its a test mule). I don't see the front fork dust boots, and those michelins.. oh my, i hope its a one off on the test mule and they continue to shod it with the metz. maybe they chucked the metz (atleast for the indian market) to keep costs down. It's not that the michelin's are bad or anything.. they metz are way more stickier.
                              These guys have been making improvements and changes since it was launched, and i hope this trend continues and the motor i hope has seen some more significant improvements compared to the cosmetic bits.

                                Well, this is not the design that i imagined it to be , the G310R looks a lot more muscular and chunky than this and i love muscular looking bikes so the G310R appeals to me more . I just hope they price the BMW right .
