If dirtwheel is bringing in the 200cc version it will be best!

india testing liao lei it seems...125 like wasted on the frame...

perhaps the 200cc will come as a big bore kit?

 

is it illegal to big bore? hmmm.....too out of touch liao

If they bring in the 200, 125 will be a waste, if they do bring in the 200 here, 125 would be a collectible then though its just the same bike with a different engine.

[edwinling]

Will see!

 

990Duke looks darn good!

Will almost confirm buy the ktm duke 200 if it's coming. 125cc not so worth it i feel. Can buy fz16 with spare cash for box somemore

just seen the machine upfront and personal..

very nice fit for a 1.83m frame person...very comfy upright position, very centered, low cg

parts are of great quality for me well designed and laid out.... steed braided hoses...the speedometer....lighted switches

....but i would have preferred a 200cc setup...dilemma....

go and try out ba, call the dealer to arrange

[Zat Tazzi]

i thought of trying out. Just asking if anyone who is quiet short how does it feels? I'm pretty excited about this bike. Dun mind not being able to put both feet down, as long can put something down.

[edwinling]

Oopss...viewing seems like only in Aug when launched.

 

I'm about 1.7m.

- when sitted, slight raised heel

- when sitted, naturally pushed forward like off road position

- feet like in sports bike position, not all upright

- knee rest nicely on tank position; tank feels like super4

- broad, split seats

- sturdy rearview mirrors

- surprised on the good finishing

 

125Duke was launched in show mid 2010. Hit our shore only in Aug with Europe in March. I reckon 200Duke will also be in early Q4 2012....if you have the patient to wait. Btw, 125Duke seems like not launched in India yet.

[danielb]

Sian la. Really dilemma. Is it gonna worth the wait? Or trade in the 125 for the 200? But isn't it damn boliao to do so?

 

Btw I am retaking my 2b... So can relac....take my time.....

 

For 1.83 height both feet flat on ground.

KTM duke ftw..

but like what the others say, i prefer to wait for the 200cc or >200cc versions to release.

125cc is a bit not worth it.

 

found on the internet that the 200cc might have around 22ps. (NaiSe~)

but the only thing is you will need to wait for quite some time before they release it.

it's going to be assembled in india so the parts and cost might be lowered a bit.

what to expect? KTM lei, good quality = expensive

 

Cheers~

wait longer got 350cc oso

[Forgestryker]

i think i might wait for the 200cc. Oh and i called dirt wheel today, can view the bike already. Its up. Can call to confirm if anyone going down.

[danielb]

well, if the bike launch in india in january 2012 but the bike will only reach SG in June then its not so worth it to wait so long for the bike..

 

unless

a. there is another plan to globally launch the bike in Jan.

b. we go India in Jan and book the bikes straight and ship over hiak hiak

 

given the hype around 125cc i am pretty sure interest for the 200cc from non-eu countries have been drummed up..come on KTM!

[edwinling]

Very similar situation with smartphone and tablets. Buy today, tomorrow new model. It's a race between your patience, wallet and itch

[Forgestryker]

who is going to India soon??? Tong pang leh..hahaa. On btw, heard about the mumbai bombing? siao man these ppl.

[danielb]

deh, mumbai and delhi different locations...wudnt wanna go india man, that place is the definition of congestion.....so who have booked the 125 liao...any show of hands?

i know ---- booked liao....i may just go book later...dammnit
