      Nice! Mine was pre approved 'Last bike'*
      but darn 2012! the world ends then and I would get only 12 months with the bike at max! Sigh!

      News suggests a 350 also being considered!

        It could go on and on.. have to make up my mind.

        The 200 Duke looks to be a fun machine and hopefully should be within 2 lakhs (max).. the supposed 350 would probably be out of my range when it comes.

          are you superstitious, come on that's not going to happen, we have plenty of time!

          Payeng bhai, who knows your range might go up by the time Duke 350 bows in!!

          I'm good as long as Duke 200 is priced below 1.5, started saving up and praying that it won't go beyond that.

            They are 4 storkes. Unsure of the earlier ones. However, since 2008 the, 690SMT and the 950, 990 are the 4-strokes.

              KTM being an European brand and the 200 Duke with exotic cycle parts like WP Suspension, Upside Down front forks, trellis frame, a chunky swing arm... a price tag of 1.5 Lakhs would be a dream price.

              A 350 cc KTM would actually be the ideal bike for me but I am sure that my domestic priorities would not allow me to go for it. At least for a couple of years.

                  Agree with you on that, for sure 1.5 is dream price and that's why Bajaj should bring Duke 200 at that price otherwise I know that next generation Pulsars are in the offing and they are pretty much based on the same platform (more of consolation)

                    Me thinks that the 350 (if so) should rather be modelled on the RC8 and not the duke... call it the RC4! and it will sell like hot cakes in India and abroad!
