      Single cylinder 450cc? Wow

      Hyosung are really lagging behind in the Motorcycle market. Some of their bikes are good, some are just bad.

          Specs on paper look superb, however pricing + specs make the KTM offerings VFM. This has to be priced not-so-much-in-the-stratosphere!

            just a bunch of pics yet and the shoddy quality is already visible.
            cables and handle bar, stickers , plastics nothing has a premium feel

              They have a twin thats priced against the Ninja 300, so its only fair to assume that this, being a single, will be priced against the D390.

              And the Duke 390 has a premium feel?

              Its even worse than this.
              And just for the record. I *LOVE* the handlebar. Straight, and to the point.

                i never compared this to the duke. thats a VFM bike. i am sure this wont be sitting in a VFM segment.
                and duke 390 is a lot of bike for the money.

                  That twin only compares with N250/300 in price, in terms of power it competes with CBR 250R.

                    The finish is indeed shoddy. The 390 Duke definitely feels premium against this. Period.
                    As for the power figures, sounds enticing

                      Just adding "Period" to the end of your post does not make it a fact.

                          I didnt say it was a fact. It was my opinion.

                          The problem was created by your usage of the word "Period." to give enhanced weightage to your opinion, and to signify it to have a greater force than it should, in the normal parlance, would have had.

                            the first thing that struck me was the size of the HUD, it was quite small, and if it has to have a legible tacho as well as a speedo, the screen would get very cluttered.
                            i don't understand the new shift towards flat or straight tachos. for me a tachometer needs to be a round gauge, even if digital...
