      Whatever. I've made up my mind to get the Duke 390.
      I've seen broken alloys in Dukes and also in ZMRs (happened for a friend). It all depends of how we ride and if we respect what we ride.

        PS: No broken alloys?
        No. No broken rims on it so far bro. Thank God

        And chain replacement, I normally do that at 8000kms as I do engine breaking whenever I slow down for Reds and it gets loose quite easily.
        Yeah, But I don't use engine braking and don't use the full power of the engine while accelerating (Draging) so for me the chain should last a lot more than a bad quality leather belt.

        Never saw broke alloys on a duke outside of an accident case but that was a problem with 2013 (first lot) bikes upto late 2014 only and I think we all know dukes are not off road bikes (they aren't even good on road bikes ) and honestly short of that I don't think the rims should break. Also the body is actually sturdy. The ktm bikes were designed in Europe in Austria they were only made here. so the design is good its the build quality that is lacking (in areas such as gaskets, hoses, oil seals, etc).
