Is the KTM Duke 490 project dead, or has it gotten delayed?

For years now, there has been a lot of buzz around KTM's rumored 490 platform. The idea was to fill the gap between the 390 and 790 models, giving a twin-cylinder option for those who want more power than the 390 but are not quite ready for the 790. Recent reports, though, suggest KTM may have scrapped the project altogether. There are some who say that it's because of partnership issues with Bajaj, while others say KTM is instead focusing on a 700cc platform with CF Moto. The motorcycle community seems to be split on whether this is a good idea or a missed opportunity. So, what’s really going on with the Duke 490, and what does this mean for KTM’s lineup strategy?

I think KTM figured out that the 490 would eat into sales of both the 390 and 790. Axe it—it is a smart business.
