    Like Sunny going to Austria and visiting the KTM plant?

    What kind of "Policies" and What kind of "Movements"..??

    Forgive me but I am just happy that there is official confirmation about the launch of the 200 Duke in India.

      No no...Sunny is nowhere in the topic buddy. The thing about bikes build here and sold there where most of us can afford this sort of machine...

      Common you know it too...trading between the EU have been sorted out long time back in the WTO agreements. Now trade between these two countries mostly exports are cheap than before..Iam happy too for the 200 but why so late??why not the 125 also?? comon bud even you are getting my point!!

        Would have loved to see a photo of you on the Baby Duke.

          so you want a 125 when an exact looking 200 version is coming in a few months?

          i'll go as far as to say... the 125 will have "no power" compared the 200.

            So back to the question! Is the chassis and the swing arm 'made in india'

              wow, i feel so proud to see indian made bikes sold in europe and with respect, not like some cheap product. and they even have MRF tyres (MRF revz), it can't get any better that this.

              i am so proud of BAL.

                  Great stuff. Seeing the assembly line of any automobile factory is just surreal. The new plastics and smell of a brand new bike is unforgettable. These imported bikes look good and one can only be optimistic about the upcoming Indian 200cc KTM.

                      Screw everything else...I want that Dirt Bike either compete unit or a rolling chassis minus Engine!

                      That bike can be an absolute traffic weapon...and I am salivating thinking about what it can do in Ladakh!

                          i think it should be between 1 and 1.5 lakhs. but thats my guess combined with a little wishfull thinking.

                              ^^^^ I think many dirt bike models produced by KTM are two stroke and are sold all around the world. I see quite a few of them on pickup-trucks headed for dirt tracks here in Phoenix, US.

                              i see the small duke which leaves me confused... so what exactly is made in the chakkan plant?
                              "I saw the KTM 125 Dukes from India being unpacked and rechecked for quality".

                              That's what is being done there, I think it's temporary till they are satisfied that quality is cosistent. After that they might take it out as a cost cutting measure!!.

                              Orange looks very good in the pics.
