KTM Duke 390
I don't know if you noticed, but KTM are expanding their "Bajaj range" with 390cc version of the Duke:
http://www.ktm.com/naked-bike/390-duke/390-duke.html It's only been announced last week or so, and there are no thorough reviews yet, but it seems quite nice to me. Especially since it's priced so close to the 125- and 200cc Dukes. I wish they make a more "adventure" or supermoto version of this... |

Very cool, and it sort of defies exisiting labels. 390cc is perfect for me, because there is an insurance hike after 400cc in my province.
Where did you find the price?

http://www.ktm.com/gb/naked-bike/390-duke/390-duke.html It's 500 pounds more expensive than the Honda CRF250L in UK: http://www.honda.co.uk/motorcycles/a...re/#!/crf250l/ And it should be more or less the same situation on all markets (I hope!). I know that they are completely different beers, but still, when I get around some money for a new bike, it'll be on my list for sure. |

The KTM Duke 390 is scheduled to arrive in the United States next year. It looks like a very nice motorcycle.

I think India will be the next China when it comes to motorcycle production/export.
