When would the KTM 690 Duke launch in India?
29 December 2022 06:08
KTM 690 Duke and Duke R will not launch in India as KTM is working on a twin-cylinder middleweight street bike, which is most probably the replacement for the 690 series. Not just that, the same will be helpful in making the overall KTM series more refined and competition with other like Triumph Street Triple and others would be more justified. Both the bikes use a single cylinder 690 cc engine while the new comer is expected to carry a twin cylinder 750 cc motor.

It KTM planning to launch ABS models of 200 Duke and RC 200 in India?
29 December 2022 06:06
KTM will have to update its list with ABS as all of the bikes would be equipped with ABS in the coming years. The wait can extend up to around April 2018. The bikes would also be made safe with technologies like CBS, resulting in overall cost increase of the motorcycles.

I am 6 feet tall, which one should I buy – Harley-Davidson Street 750 or KTM RC 390?
29 December 2022 06:06
Both the bikes are excellent performers and define an affordable way of maintaining performance as well as the brand name. KTM RC390 is the most value for money performance bike of India as no other machine at just INR 2,14,000 would bring a 0-100 kmph sprint time of 5.7 seconds. It comes with a single cylinder 373.2 cc engine while on the other hand, no other Harley Davidson or similar capacity bike can be bought for INR 4,69,000. The 750 cc, twin cylinder motor produces 59 Nm of torque and sprints from 0-100 kmph in just 6.15 seconds. The 229 kg cruiser versus the 166 kg supersport machine is a tough decision but the only factor that can help you in choosing one is your budget and preferred riding style. I would suggest you to keep your Classic Chrome with you and then buy the RC390 as it would bring both the cruiser and supersport team to your garage.
I heard there is no on-off button for the headlight, can KTM fix the on-off button for the new RC 390?
29 December 2022 06:06
The auto headlight feature was added from the safety point of view and cannot be switched off, even by the KTM service center. The beam is soft and would not affect the upcoming traffic on normal days. The sound of the 2016 version is the same as the older one whereas the shade is said to be a bit more soft than the white available on the earlier model. You can buy a 2015 KTM RC 390 from the dealership as someone out of all could have the older version available with them for sale.
Which one is the best - Royal Enfield Classic 350 or KTM RC 200 or Bajaj Pulsar RS200?
29 December 2022 06:06
All of three of them are great choice. Your final selection should depend on what you're looking in a motorcycle. If you are looking for performance, handling and riding dynamics, go for the KTM RC. It is leagues ahead of the other two. If you want ABS, fuel economy, and practicality, the RS200 will be the ideal choice. Coming to Royal Enfield, it's a different machine altogether; it is less about speed, mileage and practicality and more about attitude and personality. Test drive all three of them, and choose the one you like the most.

What is the on-road price of KTM 125 Duke?
29 December 2022 06:04
The on-road price of the KTM Duke 125 is not available simply because KTM never plans to launch this motorcycle in India. The reasons behind this are:
(i) There won’t be enough buyers. Not many people will be interested in buying a KTM DUKE 125 when a Pulsar 220F is available at a same or a lesser price.
(ii) Globally, the 125cc bikes are learner motorcycles. You don’t need a licence to ride them. However, in India you need a licence to even ride a 100cc motorcycle.
(iii) The mileage of KTM DUKE 125 is even lower than the Duke 200. Indian buyers are very conscious about the mileage. Not many people would be interested in buying a 125cc bike that just returns 25-27 KMPL.
