From where can I buy BS3 KTM Duke 390 for INR 1.5 lakh?
14 Dec, 2017 | By Maxabout Team
BS3 version of KTM 390 Duke can now only be availed from the used motorcycle market. The price tag of INR 1.5 lakh will be demanded for 2015+ model and that will be a fair deal in all terms. It carries a decent design and performs equally well when compared to the new model.

It was lighter than the current version while lacked features like TFT colored display, ride by wire, LED front headlight and a bigger steel fuel tank.
