KTM unleashes the 390 Duke !! 125 200 390 Duke gets ABS
KTM 390 Duke joins its 125 and 200 siblings..
Made in India.. for the world
Just before the curtains go up on the 2012 Milan Motorcycle show (also known as EICMA), images and details of the next big iteration of the India developed/India made KTM Duke series has been made public. The 390 Duke is here..!! 
Identical Twins-Triplets (?): In terms of styling the 390 Duke is not too different from the 200/125 Duke. Only the color scheme on the 390 gets a different treatment along with the trellis frame getting dipped in orange. By the way the 125/200 and 390 Duke gets ABS for 2013 (in Europe).
Pocket Rocket: But the biggest news here is the new 373.2 cc, single cylinder, liquid cooled engine which belts out 44 Ps of power and 35 Nm of Torque. Coupled with a ultra light weight 139 Kgs (dry weight) along with the trademark KTM genes should make the 390 Duke the scariest motorcycle to have ever manufactured in India.
Made in India, for the world (and India): The best piece of news about the 390 Duke is that like the 125/200 Duke, even this Duke has been developed in India by Bajaj Auto R&D and will be manufactured in India by Bajaj Auto.
Developing and manufacturing in India means huge costs savings for KTM. But the best part of it is that Indians get these orange machines at price which bikers outside India cant even imagine in their wildest dreams..!!
Pricing & Launch date in India: Not yet announced.. but expect a price that will make bikers not residing in India get a deeper shade of Green.

KTM 200 Duke Ready for India !!
The KTM 200 Duke finally makes its appearance in India..!!
The much awaited KTM 200 Duke seems to ready to be launched very soon. Auto Publications seems to have got the opportunity to test ride the 200 Duke. Zigwheels has posted on Facebook, photos of the 200 Duke being ridden by its correspondents. AutocarIndia has also posted a brief first ride report on its website.
[Special thanks to Vishnu from xBhp for informing me with the above news]
The KTM 200 Duke comes with the exact same "international specifications" of 25 bhp Peak Power with a 125 Kg Dry/137 Kg Kerb Weight..!! KTM is already claiming a (0-60 kmph) timing of 3.33 secs.. which means that the KTM 200 Duke would be the fastest accelerating "Made in India" bike..!!
Also since the 200 Duke is made in India and will be exported worldwide, we can expect an "European Quality Bike at Indian Prices..!!". Cant wait to lay my hands on this exciting bike.
