      re: 2017 KTM Duke 390, 250 and 200 launched

      My concern is about +30mm of increased seat height.
      I am 5'6". Will it be problem for me to ride it?
      Previously I have ridden D200 for 3 years and there was no problem on that beauty.

        On the same boat..... Me being a 5' 4'' or 5'' have the same doubt.. yesterday i went to test D250. But it was not put in side stand.

        They put it in elevated stand because of which i didn't guess whether i will be able to at least tip toe on it. And for testride the waiting period is around 1 month here in bangalore.

          But the seat is really tall for a 5.7 guy for sure. Sure it was not uncomfy due to the lightness of the bike but this is the only point i loathed about the bike.

          Will the 390 have front and back adjustable suspension?
          As per PowerDrift the front forks are adjustable to change the height of the handle bars. Correct me if I'm wrong.

              On my previous duke 200 it was never a problem to handle it. I was not able to place whole of my foot but it was never a problem in traffic. My bike got stolen year back and since then I have never ridden a bike. Not a single time.

                  Filed a complaint that time and my insurance company was Bajaj Allianz and the process of insurance claim was super smooth
                  I never visited their office. A claim agent from company visited my office, collected all the documents and filed the claim. After 1 month no trace report from police station was issued (the agent mr. Madan collected my no trace report) and then company transferred the insurance claim amount via NEFT to my account. My insured value was 93000 and after compulsory deductions I received 91700. It was super smooth.

                    Didn't even know 250 was going to be introduced here. It looks real nice as well. One more motorcycle to my wish-list, I guess!

                      The rear suspension has always been a 10 step adjustable (preload) on all the ktm's since their launch in 2012.
                      As for the front, it wasn't adjustable until now.. As for what kind of adjustment (ride height/preload/damping?) I have no idea. Waiting for someone to demo it.. or will check it out myself when i visit my svc next week.

                        OT: What I heard from my cousin who is working on the TVS-BMW project says, they have manufactured X number of vehicles which are non BS-IV compliant and some tussle in between the 2 companies as who will take the cost for it.

                        Also BMW seems to be planning on a parallel 650, but Akula seems to be on hold for a while.

                          My question is where will BMW set up a service network? Are they gonna bring it via CBU or CKD ? The 600 you've mentioned, I spose a few years down the line?

                              Doubtful about this news being true, b'cos as we know Bharat BS norms are based on euro norms and euro6 is alredy in effect. Similar to dukes this is meant to sell in Europe as well. The jornos/reviewers outside India states a complaint on gearbox/transmission is making the launch delayed.

                                Yes those are adjustable for heights even showroom people said it, only rear is not.
