Some points to think...
1. Do you want to ride 600 Km every time you want your bike to get serviced?
2. After riding back home do you want to realize that the ASC haven't completed one job that was mentioned in the job card?
3. Do you want to get the bike serviced near & by & worry if the carried out job will void the warranty every time?

tnx in advance for spending your valuable time for reading my post and for reply if any

any other suggestions,give me am waiting

Don't know why but I feel buying a bike where you have to service very often then normal is not a logical decision.

300kms from your home, that means 600kms to and back ?
I would suggest buy something which is near by...

What will you do when some emergency needed for your bike ?

Still I would say buying KTM would be a wrong decision. I don't think that such a great bike should be serviced by local mech in emergency! Be practical bro, 300kms is too much for getting a bike serviced or for any issue. It's like you will be writting a trip log every service visit.

As far as Bajaj servicing KTM, Yes they can do if they have those set ups which are need for KTM bikes and KTM knowledgable mech

With ease, for me being 95kgs, and riding speeds of 110-120kmph on highway the returned FE is around 44kmpl.

44 when ridden at 110 kmph

that's something I haven't heard before. Are you sure?

This is the same problem with prospective Suzuki owners (of certain cities) as well. If you ever get stranded because your bike has something wrong with it, you're pretty much screwed. You don't just pay for a new bike you know, you also pay for the warranty, the piece of mind, the experience and the service. What is the point of buying a new bike when all of this is unavailable to you ? If you are an enthusiast and plan to buy a bike purely out of passion and for leisure use (or you know how to service it properly yourself) then this advice doesn't hold good, but in general, always buy something that is easily serviced in and around the places you stay at and visit/travel frequently.
